Renewed Partnership to Help NWTF Conservation Outreach Efforts

EDGEFIELD, S.C.— The National Wild Turkey Federation's recently renewed agreement with Bank of America will help more than 500,000 NWTF volunteers and staff to continue to improve wildlife habitat and preserve our nation's hunting traditions.

Through the agreement, the NWTF WorldPoints® Platinum Plus® Visa® card program will return a portion of each purchase to support NWTF's conservation and outreach programs.

"This is the only credit card program that helps support wild turkey conservation and the protection of our hunting heritage every time cardholders make a purchase," said Danny Young, NWTF's vice president for sales and marketing. "Friends and supporters of the NWTF can enjoy a competitive rate with this credit card while helping wildlife -- that's something everyone can get behind."

Bank of America also supports many of the NWTF's national events. Each March, golfers hit the links at Mount Vintage Plantation in North Augusta, S.C., for the Bank of America® Conservation Cup, a four-man, captain's choice golf tournament that raises money for wild turkey conservation.

Bank of America also sponsors the Federation's Turkey Shoot national sporting clays event, held annually in Forsyth, Ga. Proceeds from the Turkey Shoot support the NWTF's Wheelin' Sportsmen program. Wheelin' Sportsmen NWTF provides all people with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors through local chapter events nationwide.

Currently, those who apply for an NWTF WorldPoints® Platinum Plus® Visa® card through www.nwtf.org, and make a qualifying transaction totaling at least $75 within the first 90 days, will receive a $50 Bass Pro Shops gift card.

Additionally, each cardholder earns one point for every $1 in net retail purchases. Cardholders can redeem points for rewards such as cash, airline travel, gift cards and merchandise.

Cardholders also will enjoy the benefits of no annual fee, absolute fraud protection, online access and 24-hour service, access to the MyConcierge™ service, a unique personal assistance service, and low introductory APR offer†.
