You may select your travel accommodations, transportation, vacation package, etc. from the list of participating travel suppliers on this website. You will make your reservations by calling the supplier directly and referencing your card account number for payment. Note: When a supplier requests a credit card to hold your reservation, use another means of payment. Using your card to place a reservation puts a hold on the funds in your card account. Instead, we recommend only using your Performance One^® Prepaid Mastercard to pay for actual services rendered.

Please Note: Your Performance One^® Prepaid Mastercard may not be used at a travel agency to purchase travel, nor may the travel agent call in your card to participating travel suppliers as payment.

The billing address on your order must match the billing address associated with your card.  You can verify your address on file by calling the number printed on the back of your card.  Additional decline reasons may be an invalid expiration date or insufficient funds.  Please verify both prior to making a purchase.

Almost all of the participating merchants and travel suppliers will allow you to use your Performance One^® Prepaid Mastercard to purchase items on sale. Suppliers will not allow the purchase of gift cards with your Performance One^® Prepaid Mastercard unless indicated in merchant-specific terms. We suggest you check the specific merchant descriptions and the Terms & Conditions for restrictions before making a purchase.

You can always return an item you’ve purchased to the merchant and have the purchase amount credited back to your card account (less any cancellation penalties that may apply to most travel services). Please allow several days for the credit to appear in your card account. Sorry, but refunds cannot be made in cash.

Card companies have recently imposed a rule to help merchants better process transactions for their customers. The new rule requires that for a transaction using an award or stored-value card, the available balance must be returned as part of the authorization of that transaction. Furthermore, the merchant, at their sole discretion and if their point of sale system allows, may print that balance on the customer’s receipt.

You can view your current statement and funds available anytime on this website by clicking on the Online Statement link at the top and login to the card account. You can also check the balance of your card account by calling the toll-free number listed on the back of your Performance One^® Prepaid Mastercard. These services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for your convenience. When checking your card account balance via the toll-free number, you will be given your current available balance to spend.

If you want to purchase an item or travel option that costs more than the award dollars deposited in your card account, you can supplement the balance of your card account with a major credit card, personal check or cash. You can request that the merchant or travel supplier deduct a specific amount from your Performance One^® Prepaid Mastercard and then pay the remainder of the balance with other accepted forms of payment. Please note: Some merchants may not accept two forms of payment.  Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash.  If you attempt to purchase something that requires more funds than the balance in your card account and you do not have supplementary funds, the transaction may be denied at point of purchase.
