2018 DRIFT Dollars Program.
The Diving Rebels Scuba Club’s Board of Directors has decided to simplify the Diving Rebels Invite Frequent Togetherness (DRIFT) Points program by making members responsible for tracking their own points and by turning it into a “DRIFT Dollars” program, as described below.
Diving Rebels Scuba Club members can earn DRIFT Dollars by organizing, coordinating, and participating in club activities as defined below. Each member of the club will receive a DRIFT Card that he/she is responsible for and should treat like cash. Members will present their cards at meetings and outings to be stamped for the appropriate number of points as outlined below. DRIFT cards will not expire at the end of each year but will carry over until they are filled up or until the member wishes to redeem them. Also, as the card fills up with stamps, the member may request an additional card. Each DRIFT point’s trading power is $0.50. When the member wishes to do so, he/she can use DRIFT Dollars to “purchase” at the cash discount price a variety of items, such as membership renewals or Diving Rebels’ Rebel Wear merchandise.
