AchieveLinks Joins NHPCO’s Affinity Program

NHPCO Members Can Now Receive Redeemable Points Through Everyday Purchases

(Alexandria, Va) – The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization is pleased to announce that it has added a new partner, AchieveLinks, to its Affinity Program. Through the Affinity Program, NHPCO members receive services and products at a reduced or no cost as a benefit of their membership.

AchieveLinks is a free loyalty program developed to reward association members for the business and personal purchases they make every day from the nearly 1,000 AchieveLinks merchant partners. These partners include major retailers such as Walmart, Home Depot and Marriott. Members of AchieveLinks can redeem their points or “Links” for an array of useful merchandise, association membership dues, gift cards or even vacations.

“In addition to providing professional, educational and regulatory support, NHPCO also pursues opportunities to offer additional benefits to its members, including linking them with businesses that may be useful to them in their work. We are so pleased with the continued growth of our Affinity Program and welcome AchieveLinks as our latest member,” said Sarah Meltzer, director of Annual and Corporate Giving.

"The Achievelinks program is designed to enhance the value of membership in associations such as NHPCO.   It's a fun, unique, and free way to reward members for everyday business and consumer purchases.  Our program is a valuable resource for those who shop online, and what's unique is that any credit card in a member's wallet can be used to earn rewards.  AchieveLinks is a win-win all the way around. We're proud to have NHPCO on board," said David Carrithers, president of Affinity Center International.

The National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization is the nation’s largest non-profit membership organization representing hospice and palliative care organizations and professionals. The organization is committed to improving end-of-life care and expanding access to hospice care with the goal of profoundly enhancing quality of life for people dying in America and their loved ones.
