Could I please ask for someone's help to get into the KEMBA? I'm don't live in Ohio, but I really want to become a member because one of their credit card gives free airport lounge access.

Which Kemba? Aren't there two in the Columbus area? One is bigger with like a dozen or so branches and the other is small I think with one maybe two offices. Maybe I'm wrong.

Edit: I just used this amazing thing called Google and there are in fact two Kemba's in Ohio, one in Columbus and one in Cincinnati. Weird that they would both use the same name.

Edit 2: ok, I'm an idiot. Kroger Employees Mutual Benefits Association. Were these two CUs originaly together?
