加入ACS的感受

maplefire.

最近申请了AUSTRALIA COMPUTER SOCIETY member,一年会费320,申请费110.
昨天参加了第一次seminar,Young IT: salary packaging and performance Review tips,感觉还不错。
现在知道的benefits：
ACS有不少会员免费的discussion，seminar, Special Interest Group,
对于我刚来一年多的人来说，多了很多networking的机会，了解ICT行业的趋势。
和CPA一样，可以申请Amex的金卡；homeloan, personal loan discount;
买Coles,或者worlworth的gift card,95折。（这个我最喜欢，可以用来加油，加上4c的coupon，还是省了不少的）。
还有一点就是可以在名片和简历上附上MACS的title，呵呵，现在还用不着。。。
坛上有没有其他的ACS的筒子啊？

黑黑.

谢谢分享, 顶!

ACS会员自动加入了Ambassador network:
The Ambassador Card is a national lifestyle and leisure benefits program providing guaranteed savings. Participating establishments are spread throughout metropolitan and country areas of Australia and primarily include those offering Dining, Entertainment and Accommodation. The current retail value for an individual to purchase The Ambassador Card is $220.00, but ACS members will now have access to this program as part of their ACS Membership.
Active members can average savings in excess of $400.00 per year on dining and entertaining - and even more when they go on holidays. The Ambassador Card also fully guarantees the benefits and will refund any discount not received when using the card (on presentation of a relevant receipt to The Ambassador Card).
Major benefits include;
The second main meal at selected restaurants free
A 5% rebate off the value of a pre-purchased gift card at Coles Supermarkets. This means that a $100 card can be purchased for $95.00 (call The Ambassador Card on 1300 724 477 to pre-purchase Coles gift cards).
A 5% rebate on the WISH Gift Card, which you can use to purchase goods or services at Woolworths and Safeway supermarkets, BIG W, Dick Smith Electronics, Dick Smith PowerHouse, Tandy, BWS, First Estate and Dan Murphy's stores.  You can also use your WISH Card to purchase fuel only (except LPG) from participating Caltex Woolworths/Safeway fuel outlets (call The Ambassador Card on 1300 724 477 to pre-purchase discounted WISH gift cards -you will need to supply mailing address and your ACS Membership details). More details about the WISH Card can be found at http://www.wishgiftcard.com.au/home/ Discounts off quality hotels and motels offering up to 50% off rack rates
Discounts to tourist attractions and activities such as: Captain Cook Sightseeing Cruises, Melbourne Aquarium, Adelaide Zoo, Ned Kelly’s Last Stand, Jenolan Caves , Queensland Theme Parks
and much more
The Ambassador Card is in continual negotiations with suppliers to extend the benefits associated with the card in areas ranging from insurance, gymnasiums and cinemas to computers and office equipment, travel, dry cleaning, clothing and home wares. The Ambassador Card will work very closely with the ACS to develop additional savings and benefits to suit our members’ needs and locations.
As the list of benefits and services are continually growing, make sure you regularly check the list of current available products and services.
The initiative will be phased in over the next 12 months, commencing with those members who have a July 2005 expiry date. Existing cards will be replaced with a new Membership Card incorporating The Ambassador Card as each membership comes to renewal.
