One of the perks of Rotary membership is the Global Rewards Program. I was thumbing thru the March Rotarian magazine and found an interesting article about a program that I was not aware of that Rotary offers to its members. Through the Global Rewards program, Rotary and Rotaract members can take advantage of discounts on car rentals, hotels, dining, entertainment, and a wide variety of other products and services. (Amazon .com, Marriott, Office Depot, Hertz, and Macy's are a few of the businesses that participate) Many of the participants also donate a percentage back to Rotary. Rotarians can help build this program by adding offers from their own businesses or from other business in their communities. There are three components to the Global Rewards. 1. The value received by Rotary members in the form of discounts etc. because of their membership in Rotary. 2. When you purchase something through the Global Rewards, very often there is a give back to Rotary. This is usually 1-5% of the transaction which you were going o buy anyway. You get a discount and Rotary gets a benefit. 3. Rotarians using Global Rewards to advertise or offer their businesses and services to other Rotarians. It works almost like a directory for Rotary. This is kind of like it was when Rotary first started. Club members would rotate through businesses of members to understand what each person did and get to know them better and support their members . A new smartphone app and Chrome extension make it easier to find the offers you are looking for. Find the Rotary Global rewards app on the Apple App Store or Google Play. find out more information at rotary.org/globalrewards. This is just one more of the rewards when we put "Service Above Self". |
