Credit Card Program 'Exceptional;
Funds Support Students, Alumni
Since its kickoff in February 1998, more than 11,000 alumni and friends
have signed up to support important student and alumni programs with their
UW credit card, sponsored by First USA Bank.
First USA Assistant Vice President Rick Waxman says, "Alumni reaction
to 缅北禁地 credit card has been phenomenal, with an exceptional response
rate in the first year of the program."
 In May 1998, First USA introduced a new card
design-the National Crew Champions card featuring an overhead view of the
UW crews racing in Montlake Cut. The new design honors 缅北禁地's outstanding
crew tradition and adds a third choice to the popular Drumheller Fountain
and Husky Stadium designs.
As an added bonus to UWAA members, 缅北禁地 credit card features an extremely
competitive variable interest rate of 9.99 percent. Non-members receive
a rate of 13.9 percent, and both member and non-member cardholders receive
an introductory rate of 3.9 percent for their first five months. Alumni
may apply for the official UW credit card by calling 1-800-FIRSTUSA.
Another new benefit offered to UW Alumni Association life members is
National Car Rental's Emerald Club Aisle Service. Club members bypass the
rental counter and go directly to the Emerald Club aisle to personally select
their rental car. There's no paperwork, reservations may be made as little
as one hour in advance, and your frequent flyer miles are credited automatically.
This offer applies to life members who have paid their life dues in full.
To receive an application for the Emerald Aisle Club (a $50 value), call
缅北禁地 Alumni Association at (206) 543-0540 or 1-800-AUW-ALUM.
