(“Visa,” “us,” “we” or similar pronoun) using the Visa Real-Time Messaging (“RTM”) platform. Merchants, membership programs and other companies can utilize the RTM platform to provide offers and messages to users that sign up for their Visa Offers Network program. The merchant, membership program or other company associated with this Program is identified above and referred to as “Merchant” within these Terms. As used in these Terms, ” Program” shall also refer to this Program website (whether operated as a domain or subdomain, the “Website”), the logos, designs, text, images, videos, graphics, software and other content and materials of Visa or its licensors available through this Program, and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively, “Content”), and the Visa hardware, software and networks associated with making this Program available to you, including, without limitation, the Visa Real-Time Messaging platform (collectively, the “Program System”). Only legal residents of the 50 United States (including the District of Columbia) may enroll in this Program. Those residing outside of the foregoing jurisdiction are not permitted to enroll in this Program. These Terms are applicable solely to this Program; other Visa Offers Network programs are subject to their own terms and conditions.

This Program is intended to enhance your shopping experience with features and functionality that tracks your purchases from all merchants and delivers customized offers and messages to one or more channels of communication and platforms you select, based on one or more of the triggers described below and other triggers you may agree to. The number of triggered offers and messages may vary depending on a number of factors, including your transaction activity, selected triggers and Merchant’s choice in the number of messages to send. See below for the approximate number of text messages sent per week under this Program. In addition to triggered offers and messages, Merchant may also send you (i) non-triggered offers and promotional messages from time to time (see below number with respect to text messages; other channels and platforms may vary) and (ii) a reasonable number of confirmations and other non-promotional messages. In addition to the channels of communication and platforms currently available for receiving Program offers and messages, we may offer, and you may opt-in to, additional channels and platforms in the future.

Each time you make a purchase with your enrolled Visa card, details regarding your transactions (which may include your flight itinerary information) on your enrolled Visa card may be monitored by Visa in order to deliver to you customized offers and messages from the Merchant and its related brands. By participating in this Program and clicking “I AGREE,” you understand and agree that your historic (up to 13 months) and future transaction history with Merchant and other merchants may be accessed from your enrolled Visa card account, used by Visa to create a profile, and used for the purposes of providing you with offers and messages fueled by insights into your interests, purchase behavior and other relevant criteria. Visa may also use and share your information on an aggregated basis for analytics, modeling and other lawful purposes.

Not all Visa cards are eligible for this Program and not all transactions with your enrolled Visa card are tracked under this Program. Without limitation, Visa Buxx, Flexible Spending Account (FSA) Visa cards, EBT Visa cards and other Visa-branded cards whose transactions are not processed through the Visa U.S.A. payment system are not eligible to participate. Also, certain transactions cannot be tracked by this Program including PIN-based purchases, purchases you initiate through identification technology that substitutes for a PIN, payments of existing card balances, balance transfers, cash advances, ATM transactions, convenience checks, payments made for pre-paid and re-loadable cards such as certain gift cards, Visa Buxx and similar cards, payments made for payment instruments that can readily be converted to cash (for example, travelers cheques, money orders, wire transfers, and similar products or services), or transactions that are not processed or submitted through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. payment system.

OFFER TERMS
Offers may be subject to additional terms, conditions and restrictions communicated to you from time to time.

Terms applicable to Offers:
Must be a Hilton HHonors member and enroll with an eligible Visa card and a valid Hilton HHonors account number to participate. Qualifying spend activity must occur using your enrolled Visa card. Please allow up to six weeks after completing a stay or minimum spend for additional HHonors Bonus Points to appear in your account. Hilton HHonors membership, earning of Points & Miles™ and redemption of points are subject to HHonors Terms and Conditions.

STATEMENT CREDITS
Certain offers may be fulfilled through use of statement credits applied directly to your enrolled Visa card. The following terms apply to statement credit offers.

For statement credit offers, you agree that we can track your enrolled Visa card transactions to identify Qualifying Purchases to apply towards your statement credit eligibility. To the extent you have met all the qualifications for a statement credit offer, you authorize Visa or its designee  to apply the statement credit to your enrolled Visa card. Statement credits usually post to the enrolled card account within one to two billing cycles. The statement credit will not appear on the receipt or at the Merchant’s point of sale. A posted statement credit may be reversed, in Visa’s sole discretion, for any returns, adjustments, or chargebacks relating to a Qualifying Purchase (as defined below). The reversal of any statement credit will appear on a future card statement.

You are not eligible to receive any statement credits while your enrolled Visa card is not in good standing. Any transactions entered into by you during such time will not be deemed a Qualifying Purchase and forfeited from eligibility.

A “Qualifying Purchase” is further defined as any signature-based purchase, Internet purchase, phone or mail order purchase, bill payment, contactless purchase (a purchase made by holding your Visa card or other device up to a secure reader instead of swiping your card), or small dollar purchase for which you are not required to sign, made with an enrolled Visa card, which is processed or submitted through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. payment system.  Do not use a Personal Identification Number (PIN) when paying for your purchases with your enrolled Visa card if you want to the transaction to be applied towards your statement credit eligibility.  PIN-based purchases, purchases you initiate through identification technology that substitutes for a PIN, payments made for pre-paid and re-loadable cards such as certain gift cards, Visa Buxx, and similar cards, payments made for payment instruments that can readily be converted to cash (for example, travelers cheques, money orders, wire transfers, and similar products or services), or transactions that are not processed or submitted through the Visa U.S.A. Inc. payment system are not considered Qualifying Purchases.  We reserve the right to determine in our sole discretion whether any given transaction is a Qualifying Purchase.

CHARGES
You are solely responsible for acquiring any hardware, software, wireless and Internet access, other items required for you to participate in this Program, and any associated fees, charges and expenses. For example, you are required to obtain at your own cost a compatible mobile device, a wireless plan from a supported carrier with text message support and a valid email address. Message and data rates may apply. See your wireless provider for pricing plan details.

SOCIAL MEDIA
We may allow you to utilize one or more methods of communication to share and spread the message about this Program, which methods may include email and social networking platforms (collectively, “Social Media”). If you choose to use Social Media, you are solely responsible for ensuring that your use complies with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, these Terms, and any terms, conditions and restrictions of the particular Social Media.

If you share information through email functionality, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to provide the recipient’s email address and expressly authorize us to send the email on your behalf.  In addition, the recipient must be a permanent, legal resident of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia, who is at or above the legal age of majority in their jurisdiction of residence.  We may elect NOT to transmit any email if that email address appears to be on any Visa or other applicable “do not contact” or “do not email” list.
