Benefits for AFGE Members

When you join the union, you have access to these AFGE benefits. These benefits are backed by the collective strength of over 10-million members of AFL-CIO unions. By using one or two of the programs, many members save as much as their annual dues.

These Money-Saving Benefits are Available Only to AFGE Members:

Bond Rewards

The BondRewards Federation®

BondRewards helps individuals and families save money. Once you are enrolled, you can earn BondRewards immediately when you shop through the BondRewards seller links. Best of all, enrollment in BondRewards is free.

Founded in 2000, BondRewards is a unique rewards program that truly pays you back as you spend. It's simple: when you make purchases on websites affiliated with BondRewards, a percentage of your purchases are given back to you in your BondRewards account. You can redeem your "rewards" for U.S. Savings Bonds or you can convert your BondRewards into cash deposited directly to your bank account.

The inspiration for BondRewards comes from the fact that Americans are not saving money. In many cases, families spend more than they earn. Americans currently have a negative savings rate for the first time since the Great Depression.
BondRewards we turned that problem on its head. Now you can spend what you need to and save. Spending boosts the nation's economy, as does the purchase of U.S. Savings Bonds. As you spend, you save!

How It Works:

1. Log On

We need to know that you're ready to shop before you start so you need to sign in at the BondRewards web site. Enter your email address and password and you're on your way! If you're already signed in, you're name will appear at the top of the page.

2. Click Around

Click the Shopping tab and you'll see an expansive list of shopping partners in the BondRewards community. You can browse through the list alphabetically or shop by category. If you're looking for a specific item, use the search tool to quickly find the retailer you need. You'll also find great rewards opportunities from our merchants as you move around the site. Be sure to check out the payback.

3. Buy Stuff

Once you link to a retailer through BondRewards.com, the BondTicker* will appear at the top of your screen. Check that your name appears on the ticker to ensure your BondRewards are properly credited. Shop for your items and check out as usual and BondRewards will do the rest.

4. Cash In

Once you've earned at least 50 BondRewards, you can redeem them for cash today or even more cash later. Just click the Redeem tab to select either US Savings Bonds or a direct deposit to your bank account. You can choose any combination of bonds and cash with your available BondRewards, allowing you to save your way.
