Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How does opening a credit card with UMB benefit Corgi Rescue?

Q. Is there an annual fee?
A. No, there is no annual fee.

Q. What is the interest rate on the card?
A. 0% for the first six month introductory period on purchases and balance transfers. After the six month introductory period, the interest rate will be the federal prime rate (no lower than 5.25%) + 5.90%.

Q. Can I apply over the phone?
A. Unfortunately, not at this time.

Q. How can I get an application by mail?
A. Paper applications will be available at certain Corgi Rescue events or by contacting mycorgi.com@gmail.com. We encourage you to apply securely online to help us reduce marketing and processing costs.

Q. When I apply for the card, will my transaction be secure?
A. Yes. Your application will be transmitted to UMB through an encrypted security page.

Q. Do I have to activate and use the card within a certain time period for the Corgi Rescue to receive the $50?
A. Yes. But you only need to use the card once within the first 90 days for us to receive the $50 donation. Of course, we encourage you to make it your primary card because Corgi Rescue receives a percentage of every retail purchase at no additional cost to you.

Hi Christiana Abo Brayka! We are working on something for non-US and people who do not qualify for a credit card as well, so stay tune, tell all your friends about it, spread the word for us!

Hi Nicole, I'm so sorry to hear that, yes, feel free to tell your friends and family about it, even if they only use it one time, the bank will donate $50 to the rescues. Actually we will add a tri color and a wheel corgi design in the future :) Stay tuned!

Comment by Jerrypoperry on May 3, 2009 at 7:17am: Hey, great Job Sam, cool idea!!
but it this just for the USA or can I apply in Germany, too?? I Because I tried to more things (like ordering the my corgi.com calender) that doesn`t work...???

Comment by Wynne Phillips on May 3, 2009 at 6:30am: Great idea! I am going to apply, and maybe get my daughter to, as well.

Comment by Christin Bayer on May 3, 2009 at 4:53am: Its a pity that its only available in the us! I wish I could also apply for it! :(

Comment by Nicole on May 2, 2009 at 11:55pm: One more comment - have you considered adding a 5th option to represent the tri-colored corgis?

Comment by Nicole on May 2, 2009 at 11:53pm: I filed for bankruptcy last summer, and I just found a new job after being unemployed for 8 months, so somehow I don't think I'd be approved. It's a fabulous idea, though, and I told my fiance about it so that he would consider signing up for one.

Comment by Geri & Sidney on May 2, 2009 at 6:34pm: Even though I don't need one, I think I'll get one anyway, use it for vacations and special dinners. It will make me so happy to see that smiling face!
