NTUC has introduced a new programme to reward loyal members who are aged 65 and above.
Recently launched at the U Summit 2012, and to be rolled out on 1 January 2013, the loyalty programme U65+ scheme will see members enjoy up to six months worth of membership fee rebates every year.
Currently, over 10 unions have pledged their support for the U65+ scheme, with more unions expected to do so in the coming months before the scheme goes live.
Members aged 65 years and above with a membership tenure of 10 to 19 years will enjoy two months worth of membership fee rebates yearly, while those with membership tenures of 20 to 29 years will enjoy four months worth of membership fee rebates every year.
Those who have been members for 30 years or more will enjoy six months worth of membership fee rebates annually.
On top of existing discounts for seniors at selected NTUC Social Enterprises, medical and healthcare benefits and travel privileges, members under the U65+ programme will also receive extended life insurance coverage up till the age of 75 under the NTUC Gift insurance plan.
"This is a special gift that we want to present to our members," said NTUC Secretary-General Lim Swee Say.
