CANADA’S UU YOUNG ADULT community had a request for all UUs in November — for individuals to print out and use their Airmiles and Aeroplan rewards cards to accumulate points that can help bring young adults to national events without breaking the bank.
So far only a handful of people have being using these cards sporadically, but organizer Chris Mishra reports that they’ve already accumulated 377 Airmiles and 482 Aeroplan points. “Imagine how quickly these will accumulate if 20, 50, 100, or even 500 UUs across Canada use the cards from time to time,” she says. “Before long we’ll have enough points to offset travel costs for our volunteer staff for events, and for others who need financial assistance.
Using the cards is easy — just download and print out the PDF versions below, and use them when you shop. Hard copies of the cards will also be available at the 2012 Symposium in Ottawa this month.
The young adults are not asking you to give up collecting your own reward miles if you use them; but if you’re like most of us, and only have one account or the other, or never seem to collect enough miles to be useful — then why not help out the young adults? It’s such an easy way to support our next generation of leaders.
