  4. What happens if I choose to become an Independent Representative when I sign up as a Member?

    If you elect to become an Independent Representative (by checking the box on the sign-up form), when you are signing up as a Member, you will automatically get to participate in the business opportunity to sponsor new Members. Also, the Independent Representative fee of $99 is waived. This means that you will be a Member (which allows you to purchase discount gasoline cards), and an Independent Representative (which allows you to sponsor new Members) for the price of $159.99.

  5. Does an Independent Representative (IR) count as a paid-membership?

    No. Individuals who signup as a IR do not count as a paid-member. The member will be placed in the downline they signup in, but will not be counted as a sale. IR memberships will not be counted towards the 9 sales required to cycle. This means the total people in your downline will increase by 1 when a new Independent Representative (IR) signs up, but your total current sales will not.
