Long Island University, Brooklyn Campus Students:

As an LIU Student you are entitled to the benefits of the MetroTech BID ValueCard Program!  

The MetroTech BID ValueCard Program, a free program to MetroTech BID area employees and university students, is a joint venture between the BID and its merchants.  The program is intended to provide the community of the MetroTech area with shopping discounts not available to the general public. The Brooklyn Campus of LIU is part of the MetroTech BID community.    

Applebee’s, just next door, continues in the ValueCard Program offering a discount.  The restaurant, which is located at the corner of Flatbush Ave. Ext. and DeKalb Ave., offers a 10% discount on all food and soft drink orders, but not alcoholic beverages.  That is a great deal! 

Similar discounts exist throughout the MetroTech area with businesses offering dry cleaning, ladies wear, jewelry, wigs, carwash, hair salons, hardware, flowers, and even auto driving lessons. The current 60 participating ValueCard merchants are mostly located on Willoughby Street and its side streets (Duffield, Bridge, Lawrence and Jay) on the other side of Flatbush Ave.  The attached updated list will help locate participating merchants and what discounts each offers.  Future updates are available in the MetroTech BID office at 4 MetroTech Center, or by FAX by calling 718-488-8200, or for any questions or comments.

Whether you are a Full-time or Part-time student of LIU’s Brooklyn Campus, you are eligible to use your Student ID Card as a ValueCard for discounts at participating merchants.

The ValueCard Program is coordinated by Manny Cabrero, Director, Retail/Commercial Development, MetroTech BID.  He can also be reached by e-mail at: mcabrero@metrotechbid.org.  We invite you to also visit our website to learn more about the MetroTech BID at www.metrotechbid.org.

This announcement is being coordinated with Nanette Fuentes, Community Relations Coordinator, and Kim A. Williams, Esq., Director, Office of Institutional Advancement.
