Who is eligible to participate in this program?
All current members and valid permit holders (CLAC Local 63 industrial construction) are eligible for the program; one card will be issued for each eligible member. The immediate family of a member or permit holder is also permitted to participate in the program through the eligible member.
After signing a CLAC membership application or receiving a permit, how long will I have to wait before receiving an Advantage Program card?
Once your membership application or permit has been processed, you should expect to receive your customized Advantage Program card, with your name and an expiry date printed on it, within approximately two weeks. Some other conditions may apply.
What if I sign a membership application card but have not received my Advantage Program card. Can I still access vendor discounts?
Yes. If you have received your membership card but are still waiting to receive your Advantage Program card, CLAC staff can direct you to the Advantage Program web page to retrieve the discount information. In some cases, a vendor may want to verify the membership status of a worker, which can be provided by your regional CLAC office.
How do I get more information about the program?
Along with your card, you will receive a brochure that provides short descriptions of vendor services and products and the applicable discount. Each issue of CLAC’s magazine, Guide, will also include a listing of vendors as a reminder to members of the savings they can enjoy with the Advantage Program. CLAC staff in each regional office can also answer your questions regarding the program.
When does the card expire?
The 2010 Advantage Program cards will expire February 28, 2011. A new card will be issued with a new expiry date at that time to all eligible participants. If you are an eligible participant with an expired card and have not received a new one, you should contact your regional CLAC office and ensure that your status and address information is up to date.
Who do I call if I have questions about the program?
If you have additional questions about the program, contact your steward, CLAC representative, or regional CLAC office.
