Thanks to Our Member Credit Unions For Another Great Tax Season!
We’ve wrapped up another great tax season and, as always, we want to thank the credit unions who made it possible through their participation in the TurboTax program. This year, members from 1,537 credit unions used 216,860 TurboTax products and saved over $1.5 million while completing their taxes!
TurboTax Sweepstakes Winners
Eight credit union members were awarded $1,000 first place prizes in the 2019 TurboTax $25,000 Sweepstakes. These winners are members of: Idaho Central Credit Union (ID), FirstLight Federal Credit Union (TX), 1st MidAmerica Credit Union (IL), Fitzsimons Federal Credit Union (CO), Hughes Federal Credit Union (AZ), Community Choice Credit Union (MI), Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union (PA), and Mobiloil Federal Credit Union (TX).
TurboTax Credit Union Member Discount Program
The TurboTax program is always a fantastic way for your credit union to offer discounts on TurboTax online federal products while building member loyalty.
Some of the great benefits to your credit union include:
- The chance to cross-sell IRAs, credit cards, loan products, and home equity lending on your cross-branded TurboTax microsite.
- Enhance membership value through the $15 savings on America’s number one best selling and most trusted online tax product.
- The exclusive credit union member discount aids in building tax strategy.
- Credit union members get a chance to win one of 12 $1,000 cash prizes, or a grand prize of $25,000 in the TurboTax $25,000 Sweepstakes when they start their taxes using the TurboTax link on your website.
Enroll your credit union today and get a head start on building your marketing strategy for next year's tax season. Visit the Partner Center for more information on the TurboTax credit union member discount program or to enroll for the next tax season.
At Love My Credit Union Rewards, we’re here for you—just like you’re there for your members—when it comes to providing value and enhancing relationships. For us, this means delivering substantial discounts that your members want and deserve.
To keep the program relevant to credit union members, we are adding several new LMCUR partners and exclusive offers and saying farewell to the ADT and Love to Shop programs. Full program schedules will be communicated and in place to ensure that you and your members have ample time to make all necessary adjustments.

This Month's CU Spotlight - IH Mississippi Valley CU
For May’s CU Spotlight, we turn to IH Mississippi Valley CU in Moline, IL. Founded in 1936, they are Illinois’ fifth-largest credit union, so they know how to get the most out of their marketing and member outreach.
We talked with them about the Sprint Credit Union Member Cash Rewards program, and the new Melvin mascot, as well as their recent experiences promoting the Sprint program.
IHMVCU reports that along with completing the required quarterly marketing, they get the most “bang for their buck” when promoting Sprint on their Member Advantage (member discounts) page on their website.
The latest Sprint Melvin ad was also extremely well received. IHMVCU ran this ad in their April member E-Newsletter and report it had the “third highest click-thru” after two of their popular blogs.
When asked if they had anything else to share, IHMVCU was all smiles. “We absolutely love working with the Love My Credit Union Rewards team. They turn around our requests in a heartbeat and are always willing to work with us.”
What Works For You?
At LMCUR, we love working with our partner credit unions and crafting special solutions to fit their unique needs.
