Help with ACBL Membership Fees |
There is a company called Groupon, that has linked up with various insurance companies that provide Medicare Supplemental insurance and Medicare Advantage insurance, to pay for dues for participating in various social activities. The American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) has partnered with Groupon to get this benefit for bridge players that have either of the above types of plans if the insurer is participating. Each individual will have to check with Groupon to see if they are eligible. See the two attachments for details.
