Compression | Does compression apply for this Incentive? |
See the Plexus Compensation Plan for details on Compression. |
VIP Enrollment | If I enrolled a new VIP Customer before I upgraded from VIP to Brand Ambassador, will they count? | Plexus is allowing 7 days prior to conversion date for VIP referrals to count towards their Fast Start bonus. The referrals will count if they are within 7 days before the Brand Ambassador converts and 30-Days after the Brand Ambassador converted. |
Cancellation | If my Personally Sponsored Brand Ambassador or VIP Customer cancels their account, or returns their 100PV order, does that disqualify me for achieving my 30-Day Silver Fast Start Bonus? |
If you've enrolled the required 3 new personally sponsored qualified (Level 1) Brand Ambassadors and/or VIP Customers, the bonus will be paid out in the weekly commission payout. If any of the 3 return their 100PV order before that payout occurs, you must get another new qualified enrollment to achieve the Fast Start Bonus. |
