Impact Summary

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person
Medium Negative for users
Affected users
All users Users with active promotional offers

Mercury revised its promotional offers section to clarify that third-party partners may change or discontinue perks at any time, even after eligibility requirements are met, and that Mercury will not be responsible for honoring or fulfilling perks that partners modify or discontinue. The updated terms also specify that expired perks cannot be reinstated and direct users to contact third-party partners directly if a perk is discontinued or not honored. This shifts responsibility for perk fulfillment from Mercury to the third-party partner.

What this means for you

Generated by a model from the captured document; not read by a person

The updated terms establish that third-party promotional partners may change or discontinue perks at any time, including after you have met a perk's eligibility or redemption requirements. Mercury states it will not be responsible for honoring, fulfilling, or subsidizing a perk that a partner modifies or discontinues, and directs you to contact the partner directly if a perk is discontinued or not honored. This means a promotional offer you qualified for could be withdrawn or modified by the partner without Mercury's involvement or recourse through Mercury.

What you can do

→ If a promotional perk you qualified for is discontinued or not honored, contact the third-party partner directly rather than Mercury customer service.
