West Texas A&M Buffalo Club Loyalty Points System

The Buffalo Club Loyalty Point System was created to reward and protect our Buffalo Club members by creating criteria that honors support of West Texas A&M Athletics.

Loyalty points are allocated based on three main categories:

  • Giving
  • Loyalty
  • Affinity

Each of these categories have areas with a specific point value. The point total from each of the categories will be combined to create your point total. This total will be used to rank all current Buffalo Club members.

Loyalty points will be used in the future to determine who qualifies for items that are in low supply and high demand, including:

  • Club & Suite Access
  • Parking
  • Season Ticket Seat Selection
  • Invitations to Special Events
