Redeeming Subsidies via Norcalgo.org and PayPal
Complete your norcalgo.org Trip Calendar for the month. To redeem SNTMA subsidies, on the left side of your profile dashboard, select “Rewards” then “Featured” and scroll to the subsidy program that you participate in. You will need ten round trips or twenty one-way trips of the alternative commute mode that you use to redeem the subsidy, for the redeem button to appear in your dashboard.
The redeem buttons are only available during the window to request subsidies, which is the first two business days of the next month. For March, the window to redeem subsidies will be the first two business days of April, 12AM Tuesday 4/1 and Wednesday 4/2 11:59PM.
If all the subsidies have already been claimed, the button to redeem will say “Sorry, there is no more inventory left for this reward.” You must be registered with your work email address to participate in SNTMA programs and add your work email address to your PayPal account to receive PayPal payments from the SNTMA. PayPal payments are typically made mid-month, and you will receive a notification from PayPal once the payment has been made. PayPal accounts accommodate up to 8 email addresses. SNTMA subsidy participants have 30 days to retrieve subsidy payments. No exceptions. We post on our Facebook page once all subsidy payments have been sent. If you have questions, contact Stephanie@sntma.org.
