R Fund - package arrived in the mail

[CornerTavern]

OK, so yesterday a nice package arrived in the mail from Rutgers athletics.

It has a nice glossy full-color fold out with pictures of student athletes from many sports, A message thanking us for our support from Julie, a nice calendar, a magnet with the football schedule, and some car stickers. Nice stuff. However, there is also this card in here, an R fund "membership card" with a code and my name on the back .

For as nice as this package is, they really failed to explain what in the world this card is for and what they expect me to do with it. If I'm supposed to be able to use it at some store or something, could've been a little more clear.

Anyone else have the same questions?

I got mine a while back, but I think I remember there was information that said the card was good for discounts on merchandise bought through scarletknights.com.

I was curious about the expensively-printed calendar. (The Rutgers Alumni Association sends one out every year, too.) I'm about as low-tech as they come, but even I don't use a print calendar anymore for anything.

But, all that said, it was a classy package.

The list of R Fund membership benefits can be found here: http://rutgers.uberflip.com/i/349994-r-fund-donor-benefits

One of the benefits is that you get a membership card. The card really isn't good for anything; you never have to show it to anyone to get access to anything. But now you can say you are a card-carrying member of R Fund.

There is a discount code printed on the card. You can use this code to get your 10% discount on on-line purchases through the ScarletKnights.com team shop (http://www.rutgersshop.com/).

If you dont mind my asking...ballpark how much did you donate?

I think i donated a decent amount for someone on the left coast who doesn't have a chance to come to games and all I got were some stickers and another card asking for more money. No magnet, No calendar. I would think $600 would at least get me a magnet. LOL

You may not have received this mailing yet. It is a fairly sizable full-color fold-out package with the membership card, magnetic schedule, calendar, etc, glued onto each flap.

"The card really isn't good for anything; you never have to show it to anyone to get access to anything. But now you can say you are a card-carrying member of R Fund."

that's what I suspected...

seems like a waste, but it was also fun to get this in the mail. i might have preferred an extra R magnet, honestly!

I donate significantly more than that and only got mine Monday. Could be they are going out in batches,

I didn't notice the stickers but love the calendar.
