Up The Value of Membership.

How it works Merchant Partners

Rewards Let’s Get Started

Champions

Make Membership Indispensable.

Benefits That Add Up.AchieveLinks® maximizes the value your members receive from

their membership and increases their engagement with your

association. Rather than provide a discount on just one product,

AchieveLinks rewards your members for business and personal

purchases they make every day. The AchieveLinks rewards points

can really add up—and be redeemed for a wide array of

motivational rewards. The catch? They have to be members to

earn, making membership in your association indispensable.

Enjoy Benefits Unlike Any Other Association Program

With AchieveLinks,® you can Offer a unique, new member benefit that’s free to you.

Increase member engagement: Retain existing members, and draw in new members, too!

Share in the revenue. Earn a royalty on every purchase. As your members spend more, your association earns more.

Be top of mind every time members purchase with the co-branded AchieveLinks Rewards Platinum VISA® Card.

Enjoy Benefits Unlike Any Other Association Program

With AchieveLinks,® you can Get up and running quickly.

Our Fast Track start-up program provides marketing tools to get your members enrolled and the AchieveLinks program going right away.

Let us do the heavy lifting. ACI handles all set up and ongoing management, requiring minimal effort on your part.

Become a Hero! Provide new benefits, new value to your members and demonstrate to your members that you are always thinking about them.

Your Member Lists Help Ensure the Program’s Success

For AchieveLinks® to be successful, a consistent, cumulative and ongoing communications effort directed towards potential members is absolutely necessary.

Without the lists and the ability to promote directly to members, the program will not be as successful for the association or the members. Member engagement and communication drives the success of the program.

ACI will use the provided lists with care and with the interest of doing only what is right for your members and your association.

• Engage your members.• Gets members active in the AchieveLinks program.• Allow members to experience the value of participating and earning rewards.

ACI has a policy specific to use of association member lists that we share with every AchieveLinks customer. ACI does not sell or give your lists to anyone.
