First Vinyard
The First Vineyard is a prepaid credit card that has a true multi-level referal plan that will appeal to those looking to get involved network marketing with a credit card product. Let us look at its compensation plan.
With the First Vineyard, you will earn referal fees from the referals you make and also from the dollars they spend on their card. When you first refer a friend and he or she becomes a cardholder, you get $25.00 as a referal fee. You will also earn fees from the dollars they spend on their card. Aside your referrees, you will also earn fees from those above your "compensation tree" . First Vineyard also adds new cardholders into your "compensation tree" so you can earn more.
To qualify for compensation, you first need to get three new cardholders to activate their account. Secondly, you need to achieve a personal group spending volume (PGSV) of $1000. This PGSV includes yourself and two other personal referals who do not yet qualify for compensation. The more personal active referrals you have, the more members of your compensation tree you'll be qualified to receive compensation on. Below are the levels :
3 - 4 personal active referrals = compensation up to level 4 (780 people).5 - 9 personal active referrals = compensation up to level 5 (3,905 people).10 - 29 personal active referrals = compensation up to level 6 (19,530 people).30 - 69 personal active referrals = compensation on levels 2 Ð 7 (97,650 people).70 - 100 personal active referrals = compensation on levels 3 Ð 8 (488,275 people)
For each level you qualify to receive compensation on, you get 7 basis points (or .0007) times the total spending on that level.
Furthermore, First Vineyard has an online store called the First Vineyard Marketplace. When you use your card for purchases here, you will earn cash rebates as well. When you shop online at the FV MarketPlace, a portion of each sale is not only returned to the members, but a portion is placed in the First Vineyard MarketPlace Pool. Each month, the sum is divided evenly among qualifying First Vineyard members.
