OT: 50% Off Alumni Association Membership on Groupon
http://www.groupon.com/deals/university-of-michigan-alumni-association-3
Not something I expected to see on Groupon but thought I would pass it along if anyone was interested.
Happy Tuesday.
One wonders if their CEO's connections to Michigan played a role here. It strikes me as a bit tacky, but I might have to buy in anyway.
Thanks for posting!
Tacky was my first impression as well.
"that guy" who points out this has already been the subject of a discussion on MGoBoard (less than 3 weeks ago).
oh noes.....alumni....oh noes....tradition......oh noes......groupon......
it think i covered it.
GROUPON....that's The Michigan Difference™
So is it a deal? Or marked up to knock 50% off to make the allusion of a deal?
The regular price is 1 year for $69. This is two years for $69. The regular membership is tax deductible and this is not, so this is a better deal for those that don't itemize deductions. Recent grads, however, can get a better discount straight from the alumni association.
Regular annual membership is $69 for individual, $79 for joint membership. This offer is for a two-year membership at the one-year price.
Research also shows that if you're over 60 you can get a lifetime membership for half-price directly from the association! Makes sense, considering how long half your expected lifetime would be at that point.
EDIT: Redundancy effect from too much research.
What else can you say?
I paid $300 for a Lifetime Membership. I have to say, that worked out very well....still have the gold-plated card.
