Q: What is the purpose of this program?
A: Leaders deserve the best, and that’s exactly what Go Blue Rewards offers Alumni Association members.

Q: Who is eligible?
A: Go Blue Rewards is open to anyone who is a member of the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan. If you’re not already a member, take a minute and join here.

Q: Does it cost anything to the members to use the offers and discounts?
A: No. Go Blue Rewards offers and discounts are complimentary to members.

Q: How do members redeem the offers?
A: Each partner is unique, and the redemption is unique to that partner. Some partners simply ask that you show your Alumni Association membership card at the time of purchase, while others may require you to visit their site and enter a username, coupon code, or promotion code. Some partners may also provide an 800-number they’ll ask you to call.
