A

offers. Listen and read.
Agent:
Good morning. Parkdale Bank. How may I help you?
Customer:
Hi. I want to apply for a credit card, and I have a question.
Agent:
Certainly. I can help you with that.
Customer:
I read that the Premium Rewards Card gives you 1% cash back.
What does that mean, exactly?
Agent:
It means that you get one dollar for every hundred dollars you spend.
Customer:
You mean, the bank gives me money?
Agent:
That’s right. You can use your rewards points to get cash back.
Or you can use your points to get store gift cards.
Customer:
OK. I see. Thanks.
