PIAA Announces Launch of Alumni Visa Rewards Program

New Affinity Rewards Credit Card from the Polytechnic Institute Alumni Association To Fund Projects that Support Alumni and Student Engagement


There’s a new, convenient and rewarding way for people who support the Polytechnic Institute Alumni Association to help fund the association's work.  And it fits in a wallet.

The Polytechnic Institute Alumni Association and CardPartner, Inc. have joined forces to launch the Polytechnic Alumni Visa affinity Platinum® Rewards credit card. When a cardholder activates the card, the PIAA receives $50. Then once a month for the life of the program, the PIAA receives a check for a portion of every dollar that every cardholder charges.

“Using the PIAA Visa affinity Platinum® Rewards credit card for everyday purchases is an easy way for alumni to give back to their alma mater and support the work the alumni association is doing to promote alumni and student engagement" said Anthony Kapp, Director of Alumni Relations.

  • No annual fee
  • $50 donation by the bank when you first use the card
  • Ongoing contributions made when you continue using your card
