Member Benefits
In addition to supporting the work of the organization, your UWRA membership unlocks access and discounts with select community partners.
University Book Store Pack Rewards
UWRA members are automatically enrolled in University Book Store’s Pack Rewards program. No need to sign up separately — just show your membership card and get access to special discounts, including 20% off your entire purchase on the first Tuesday of every month, monthly deals, and exclusive member-only shopping nights. And every purchase benefits UW students!
University House
UWRA members and their parents receive priority on waiting lists and a partial waiver of community fees at move-in at University House Wallingford and University House Issaquah. These senior living residences operated by Era Living offer academically- and culturally-oriented programs with deep connections to the University of Washington.
Weekly eDigest
Every week, members receive a quick, curated email digest of upcoming UWRA programs, legislative updates, and important news on issues relevant to UW retirees. It’s the easiest way to ensure you never miss out, and it’s exclusively for our members. Enrollment is automatic when you join, and you can opt-out anytime with a simple email or call to us.
