Mastercard

The UBC Alumni MasterCard® credit card is available exclusively to University of British Columbia students, alumni and staff, and offers you the opportunity to enjoy a reduced introductory interest rate on balance transfers, access cheques and deposits. Support your alma mater and receive highly competitive rates and other advantages.

For 2011 the funds went toward UBC Alumni’s The Next Step event series and the UBC Athletics Varsity Rings Program.

Thunderbird Rings

For the past three years the UBC Alumni Association has presented a Thunderbird Ring to every graduating varsity athlete. While the UBC Alumni Association is not able to provide a ring to every Thunderbird alum, UBC Athletics has made rings available to alums who want to be part of the club. The rings are hand carved by First Nations artist Rick Johnson and symbolize your connection to the UBC Thunderbirds. Rings are distributed through UBC Athletics for a donation of $100. For details or to obtain your ring, contact Steve Tuckwood (steve.tuckwood@ubc.ca or 604 822-1972).

Order your UBC MasterCard credit card, by visiting www.applyonlinenow.com/canada/aalochc6 or by phone at 1-877-428-6060, Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET and Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET. Please mention priority code CHC6.
