So I just signed up for the natty club on bayou traditions——but it says that my card wasn’t charged. It also said that I was supposed to receive a $20 voucher, but I don’t see anything about that either. The only thing I see after I sign up really are the cash back options. Can anyone offer any clarity? How do I get my voucher to the store?

Whoever that’s in charge really lacks imagination on the benefits of donating. How about a credit for concessions at athletic events? How about including swag instead of credits to a store? Who fricking cares about the cash back when you don’t live in LA?

So you think a $20 donation should be treated like a $20 gift card?

The $20 isn't supposed to be something you see come back directly to you. How do you think the Collective would actually be able to spend that money if you're asking for a credit back to something that would cost them.

Because Bayou Traditions has no affiliation with TAF & concessions. I still don’t understand how it’s so confusing to some of you.

They are the official NIL collective of LSU Athletics, but LSU does not run it.

You’re paying $20 to sign up & receive a $20 voucher. Seems like a good deal to me.

I don’t see any “swag” in their shop cheaper than $20. What do you want? A couple stickers & a headband?

Looks like it’s a program for Cashback at national brands so it has nothing to do with living in Louisiana.

Maybe you should just use your brain a little more

Who said I was talking about $20 donation and who said anything about $20 back? My gosh you’re a fricking idiot

No shite Sherlock. That means frickall when it comes to the collective working in tandem with other organizations or businesses.

Again, I said nothing about $20. I donate a hell of a lot more than that but continue with your dumb comments

I did it a few weeks ago too, card still hasn’t been charged, I don’t know if they do it at end of month or what. Pretty frustrating, just take my money and give me some free LSU merch. I don’t want discount shopping

What tf were you talking about when you said “How about including swag instead of credits to a store?”

OP said they just signed up for the natty club, which is $20/month & you receive a $20 voucher to their store. Are you not referring to that voucher when you’re talking about credits to a store?

That’s kind of my point. If you want the general fan base to participate, most don’t give a rats arse about cash back. There needs to be a higher tier as well.

I was talking about the collective in general for all levels. I said nothing in regards to his $20 donation.

The Bayou Traditions MINIMUM donation amount is $20. Safe to say OP donated $20 and will donation $20/month until they stop. You say the Collective is not working because they aren't giving back something of equal or greater value to a $20 monthly donation.

Extremely low margins already so you're asking LSU to give away food for free to already cheap events.

There is a "$20 Voucher to store or Swag Bag" which at most will pay for stickers. Everything else will cost extra. Again, WHY would LSU just give away shite at a cost?

You're fully misunderstanding the purpose of these collectives. They are encouraging fans to spend directly on the athletes so that they can have the satisfaction of seeing the team win football games. Why do you think boosters actually existed?

Their FAQ section is pretty self explanatory. LINK

Scroll to the bottom.
Did you link your credit card?

Website says you receive a $25 voucher after being a member for 3 months.

You’d probably have better luck contacting customer support.

If you don’t understand their monthly membership, why not just make a one time donation?

I said they lack imagination, and they do. If I donate 20 for 3 months and I get a 5 credit at a sporting event, I’m clearly going to spend well above any credit.

The collective should be more innovative is all I’m suggesting, but of course that’s met with confrontation instead of a healthy discussion on what would attract the most amount of money.

I never received voucher either but just read you don’t get unless member for 3 months. I’m probably going to cancel unless they improve perks. Every other SEC school gives you real benefits

Their website clearly says you receive the voucher after being a member of 3 months.

I agree they could improve their member benefits, but it does say there are also monthly giveaways for memorabilia & exclusive experiences. Anyone ever win something from one of those?

Maybe the whole point of donating to a collective is to benefit the NIL for the athletes & not the people who donate.

Look at the grove collective and look at the amount of tiers and the benefits of each. That’s all I’m trying to say. I don’t understand why our collective caps out at 100
