Swipe Out Hunger is a fun, new program that allows cardholders like you to support your favorite organizations with the chance to win one of the thousands of prizes each time you make an eligible purchase on an eligible Acadia FCU Visa card.

Entrants agree to automatically Round-Up eligible purchases to the next dollar for the chance to instantly win a prize. 50% of each Round-Up will be allocated toward the prize pool, with the other 50% allocated toward a charitable contribution. There is a free, alternate method of entry which does not require a purchase. However, free entries don’t add to the prize pool! For more information on Alternative Method of Entry (AMOE) visit the “Do I have to make a purchase to participate” section below.

During the Promotion Period, an eligible entrant may enter this Promotion by using his/her/their Acadia FCU Visa card to make a qualifying purchase (“Payment Card Entry”). Entries are evidenced by a “Game Piece”.  Each entrant will receive one “Game Piece” per qualifying purchase. A qualifying purchase is a purchase that has been processed and accepted by the merchant and has been authorized by the entrant to be rounded up to the next dollar; 50% of which will be allocated toward the prize pool, with the other 50% to be allocated toward a charitable contribution. No purchase is necessary to enter.  Please visit Official Rules, or the “Do I have to make a purchase to participate” section below, for full Promotion terms and the means of alternate, free method of entry.

100% of your change will be donated to United Charitable, which is a globally recognized United States 501(c)3 public charity with Federal Tax ID #: 20-4286082 and rated 5 out of 5 Stars by Charity Navigator. United Charitable is the primary beneficiary of all contributions generated through this promotion and disburses the appropriate contributions to the organization you’ve chosen, once per month.

Currently, the Swipe out Hunger program exclusively supports the Campaign for Ending Hunger, which distributes funds to these local organizations:

MSAD 33 Take Home Program, Fish River Rural Health Food Shelf, Notre Dame du Mont Carmel Food Pantry, St. John Vianney Parish Food Pantry, Greater Fort Kent Ecumenical Food Pantry, Our Lady of the Valley Food Pantry, Aroostook Area Agency on Aging / Meals on Wheels, Ashland Food Pantry, St. Peter Chanel Food Pantry, First Assembly of God Food Pantry, and Safe Place Food Cupboard, Bangor Area Homeless Shelter, Brewer Area Food Pantry, The Salvation Army, and Manna Ministries Food Pantry.

Each time you make a qualified purchase or complete an Alternate Method of Entry, you receive one “Game Piece”. If that Game Piece is an instant winner, you will be notified immediately via text-message and email at the phone number and email address you provided upon registration. If you didn’t provide and/or confirm your phone number upon registration, you will receive an email notification for all instant winners.
