AIM has yet another Shazam! winner—congrats Carol! Shazam! randomly selected Carol because she uses her AIM debit card regularly…yet another way it pays to be an AIM member. Thank you, Carol, for your membership and helping to make AIM such a strong credit union and benefit to all members.
We are excited to announce that Tim S. has been randomly selected as a $50 gift card winner from Shazam! What did Tim do to earn such a prize? He just used his AIM debit card, like he always does. Congratulations, Tim, and thank you for being a great AIM member!
