Member savings total record-breaking $7 million in 2019
OMA Advantages is celebrating 10 years of bringing value to OMA members. To date, more than 500,000 member purchases have been completed, resulting in over $29 million in total savings!
In 2019, the program featured 30 offerings in several categories. Member savings for last year alone reached a record-breaking $7 million. Fitness & Health, Travel & Leisure, Auto, and Home & Office were the most popular categories (a complete listing of current Advantages offerings appears opposite).
New discount offerings were introduced including UpToDate, with savings from 15% to 54%; 50% off golf memberships with Clublink; and the expansion of American Express card offerings, which now features the Cobalt card.
Also new to OMA Advantages last year was the introduction of Venngo’s Memberperks for OMA. With 3,000-plus discount offerings across North America, members can now save more on everyday purchases such as clothing and food. Venngo’s location-based technology allows you to find discounts wherever you are. Purchases can be completed online, in store, or by phone – and this program is available to your entire household!
To celebrate our 10th year, Advantages will be featuring a number of contests throughout 2020 where members can enter to win lots of great prizes. Be sure to check the OMA Updates weekly eNewsletter and oma.org for more information! Our most recent contest winners are Dr. Latifa Yeung and Dr. Julie Shatz, who each received two free one-day passes to Mont Tremblant.
