ST. PAUL, MN - Quail Forever (QF) announces a new affinity credit card partnership with U.S. Bank. Through the partnership, U.S. Bank will be making a donation to QF each time a new card is activated, and again each and every time that card is used. This builds upon the successful partnership between Pheasants Forever (PF) and U.S. Bank created in 2004.
"U.S. Bank has been an outstanding Pheasants Forever partner. The financial support generated through our credit card program allows us to put thousands of acres of wildlife habitat in the ground each year. We are eager to generate similar funds for our quail habitat efforts through this new Quail Forever credit card program," reported Howard Vincent, PF/QF's president and CEO.
To date, the Pheasants Forever credit card program has generated over $200,000 for PF's habitat conservation and youth education efforts U.S. Bank will be offering QF members and quail enthusiasts a variety of new credit card products. One of these new products will be a credit card that earns reward points, which can be redeemed for gift certificates, merchandise, cash, and travel rewards.
Another card will offer a cash-back option. To sign up for your new Quail Forever Visa card today, go to https://appcenter.usbank.com/customizedPricing/home.do?locationId=9581, www.quailforever.org or call toll free (866)457-8245 and request an application.
"Our partnership with Quail Forever will extend the great relationship we already have with this great partner and offer quail enthusiasts an easy way to generate the financial assistance that is critical to the preservation of quail habitat," said Lynn Heitman, senior vice president of retail payments at U.S. Bank.
"There is no doubt that our partnership with U.S. Bank has improved our ability to deliver pheasant habitat across the pheasant range. This new Quail Forever program will also improve our ability to deliver our quail habitat and youth education missions as well," added Vincent.
"U.S. Bank believes in our mission, our localized model, and they have again stepped up in a big way to support us. In return, I ask all Quail Forever members and quail hunters across the country to consider U.S. Bank's new line of Quail Forever credit cards as their new card option - quail and quail hunters will benefit."
Pheasants Forever created QF in August of 2005 to address the massive losses of quail habitat experienced over the last 25 years. Those habitat losses have led to a 60 to 90 percent decline in bobwhite quail populations across their U.S. range.
Quail Forever utilizes the unique and successful PF model of empowering local chapters with 100 percent control of their fundraising dollars. In just the first year of existence, 69 QF chapters have formed in 23 different states.
Together, PF and QF have 670 chapters across the continent and account for over 115,000 members. Those chapters have completed 4 million acres of habitat work since the organization's inception in 1982.
Quail Forever is a non-profit conservation organization dedicated to the protection and enhancement of quail and other wildlife populations in North America through habitat improvement, land management, public awareness, and education. Such efforts benefit landowners and wildlife alike.
