Pheasants Forever Visa Card Program Passes $600,000 in Funds Generated for Habitat
Pheasants Forever 11.22.13
Pheasants Forever’s (PF) affinity card partnership with U.S. Bank has generated more than $600,000 for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever’s (QF) habitat mission through its unique credit card program. Through the partnership, U.S. Bank – one of “The Habitat Organization’s” longest-tenured corporate supporters – donates to PF’s habitat mission each time a new credit card is activated, and again each and every time that card is used.
“It’s pretty amazing that our PF members carrying the Pheasants Forever Visa Card can create $600,000 in revenue for our habitat mission. My plea to members is simple – sign up for a Pheasants Forever Visa Card and use it for your gas, groceries, and everything in between. Every purchase with a PF Visa card will help us create the habitat necessary to fill your game vest this fall and next,” said Bob St. Pierre, vice-president of marketing and public relations for Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever.
U.S. Bank’s Pheasants Forever Visa Signature® Card earns cardholders reward points, which can be redeemed for cash back, travel, gift certificates, and merchandise. Not only has this partnership improved Pheasants Forever’s ability to offer members high-quality affinity credit products, but has shown U.S. Bank to be dedicated to the enhancement of habitat for pheasants, quail and other wildlife throughout the country. In addition to the consumer credit cards, Pheasants Forever and U.S. Bank also offer the PF Visa Business Rewards Card, ideal for small business owners.
“I’m a pheasant hunter and Pheasants Forever member,” added Chris Clawson, manager of the Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever partnership for U.S. Bank. “I also carry the Pheasants Forever Visa card and use it for all my hunting and outdoor purchases, let alone my other purchases too. I challenge all my fellow PF and QF members to use this card for purchases big and small to help us all create better habitat for future days afield.”
In addition to their corporate donations, U.S. Bank representatives annually attend a multitude of Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever banquets to assist local chapters to sign up cardholders and raise funds. U.S. Bank also supports and exhibits at National Pheasant Fest, Pheasants Forever’s largest annual event, and sponsors Pheasants Forever’s Rooster Road Trip.

Pheasants Forever launched Quail Forever in August of 2005 to address the continuing loss of habitat suitable for quail and the subsequent quail population decline. Bobwhite population losses over the last 25 years range from 60 to 90 percent across the country. The reason for the quail population plunge is simple - massive losses of habitat suitable for quail. There are five major factors leading to the losses of quail habitat; intensified farming and forestry practices, succession of grassland ecosystems to forests, overwhelming presence of exotic grasses like fescue that choke out wildlife, and urban sprawl.
