How To Earn – Retention Credits
| Topic: | Question: | Answer: |
| Retention Credits | If a Brand Ambassador signs up a new qualifying Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer before July 1, 2024, are they still eligible to earn Retention Credits from their second or subsequent monthly subscription or discretionary orders of 50-99 PV, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+ order starting September 1, 2024? | No. If a Brand Ambassador signs up a new qualifying Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer prior to July 1, 2024, 12am US ET, they will not earn Retention Credits from their Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer’s second or subsequent monthly subscription or discretionary orders of 50-99 PV, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+. |
| Retention Credits | Will a Brand Ambassador earn Retention Credits from their Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer’s first discretionary or subscription order if they enrolled in July or August of 2024 and placed the retention order between September 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024? | Yes, a Brand Ambassador may earn Retention Credits from a Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer’s non-enrollment discretionary or subscription order if they enrolled in July or August 2024. They will only earn Retention Credits from the Retail or VIP Customer’s second or subsequent monthly discretionary or subscription orders between September 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024. |
| Retention Credits | Can I earn Retention Credits from a second or subsequent monthly subscription or discretionary order of 50-99 PV, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+ placed by a Retail or VIP Customer on my Levels 3 and beyond? | No, you will not earn Retention Credits from a Retail or VIP Customer on your Levels 3 or beyond or their second or subsequent monthly subscription or discretionary order of 50-99 PV, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+ during the contest. The only situation where you may earn beyond your Level 2 is if compression applies after month’s end and moves a member to your Levels 1 or 2. |
| Retention Credits | Will a Brand Ambassador only earn Retention Credits if their Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer who enrolled between July 1, 2024 and November 30, 2024 places a discretionary or subscription order of 50-99 PV+, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+ each consecutive month of the contest? | No, a Brand Ambassador’s Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer who enrolled between July 1, 2024 and November 30, 2024 is not required to place a consecutive discretionary or subscription order of 50-99 PV, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+ every month from September through December for the Brand Ambassador to earn Retention Credits from them. However, the Brand Ambassador will only earn Retention Credits for the months in which the Retail or VIP Customer places their qualifying discretionary or subscription orders. Ex: Lindsay signs up Susan as a Level 1 VIP Customer in July. Susan places her first 50 PV discretionary order in July, then places her second 50 PV discretionary order in September. She places her third 50 PV discretionary order in November but does not order anything in December. Lindsay will earn 20 total Retention Credits from Susan for the months of September and November because Susan does not place a qualifying subsequent discretionary order during the months of October and December. |
| Retention Credits | Will a Brand Ambassador only earn Retention Credits if their Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer who enrolled between July 1, 2024 and November 30, 2024 places a discretionary or subscription order of 50-99 PV+, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+ each consecutive month of the contest? | No, a Brand Ambassador’s Level 1 or Level 2 Retail or VIP Customer who enrolled between July 1, 2024 and November 30, 2024 is not required to place a consecutive discretionary or subscription order of 50-99 PV, 100-149 PV, or 150 PV+ every month from September through December for the Brand Ambassador to earn Retention Credits from them. However, the Brand Ambassador will only earn Retention Credits for the months in which the Retail or VIP Customer places their qualifying discretionary or subscription orders. Ex: Lindsay signs up Susan as a Level 1 VIP Customer in July. Susan places her first 50 PV discretionary order in July, then places her second 50 PV discretionary order in September. She places her third 50 PV discretionary order in November but does not order anything in December. Lindsay will earn 20 total Retention Credits from Susan for the months of September and November because Susan does not place a qualifying subsequent discretionary order during the months of October and December. |
| Plexus Leads Program | Can leads assignments from the Plexus Leads Program earn me any Retention Credits? | Yes, leads assignments from the Plexus Leads Program can earn you Retention Credits. |

How To Earn – Rank Advancement Credits
| Topic: | Question: | Answer: |
| Rank Advancement Credits | Will a Brand Ambassador earn Rank Advancement Credits for Brand Ambassadors on their Levels 3 and beyond who advance past their “benchmark rank,” which is their highest paid rank, between May 1, 2024 and August 31, 2024? | No, Brand Ambassadors will not earn Rank Advancement Credits for anyone on their Levels 3 and beyond who advance past their highest paid rank established during this time period. |
| Rank Advancement Credits | Are Rank Advancement Credits based on highest paid rank or highest all-time achieved rank? | You will earn Rank Advancement Credits based on your “benchmark rank”, which is your highest paid rank between May 1, 2024 and August 31, 2024. Your all-time highest achieved rank is not a factor in earning Rank Advancement Credits. Ex: Shane’s all-time highest achieved rank as a Brand Ambassador was Ruby in December 2023. His highest paid rank (“benchmark rank”) between May 1, 2024 and August 31, 2024 is Gold. His paid rank in September is Senior Gold. Therefore, he will earn 100 Rank Advancement Credits in September for advancing beyond his highest paid rank of Gold during the timeframe of May 1, 2024 – August 31, 2024. |
| Rank Advancement Credits | Are Brand Ambassadors able to earn Rank Advancement Credits if they rank up to a rank for the second time during the contest? | No, you will only earn Rank Advancement Credits for ranking up to a specific rank once during the contest. Ex: Alyssa’s highest paid rank (“benchmark rank”) is Senior Silver from May 1-August 31, 2024. Her highest paid rank is Gold in September, so she would earn 80 Rank Advancement Credits for that month. In October, her highest paid rank is Senior Silver, and in November, her highest paid rank is Gold. However, she will not earn additional Rank Advancement Credits for ranking back up to Gold again in November because she already earned 80 Rank Advancement Credits for ranking up to Gold for the first time in September. |
| Plexus Leads Program | Can leads assignments from the Plexus Leads Program earn me any Rank Advancement Credits? | Yes, leads assignments from the Plexus Leads Program can earn you Rank Advancement Credits. |
How To Earn - General
| Topic: | Question: | Answer: |
| Upgrades | Will Brand Ambassador upgrades be eligible to earn credits in this contest? | If someone upgrades to a Brand Ambassador sometime between September 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, signs up a minimum of 3 new Level 1 VIP Customers with an initial 100 PV+ order during the contest period and is commission qualified, they will be eligible to earn credits during the Rising Leaders Retreat Contest within the months they are a commission qualified Brand Ambassador. However, new Brand Ambassadors in this situation do not need to have the 3 new Level 1 VIP Customers to begin accruing credits but will need to complete these requirements before the end of the contest on December 31, 2024. |
| Upgrades | If I become a VIP Customer in September and enroll people under me, then upgrade to a Brand Ambassador later that same month, would those people I signed up as a VIP Customer qualify towards earning Enrollment and/or Retention Credits during the Rising Leaders Retreat Contest? | Any qualified enrollments you make as a VIP Customer or a Brand Ambassador in a calendar month during the contest period could potentially earn you Enrollment and/or Retention Credits throughout the contest as long as you upgrade to a Brand Ambassador during same the month in which you enrolled those Retail or VIP Customers. |
| Reentry Accounts or Spouse Accounts | Can the 3 new Level 1 VIP enrollments required to participate in this contest come from our reentry accounts or spouse accounts? | Brand Ambassadors with reentry accounts can have their original accounts and reentry account’s enrollments combined to meet this personal qualification requirement to participate in this contest. Enrollments from spouse accounts cannot be combined with enrollments from original accounts. |
| Reentry Accounts or Spouse Accounts | Can a Diamond Brand Ambassador link their reentry or spouse accounts for the 3 new Level 1 VIP Customer enrollments required? | A Diamond Brand Ambassador can only link their reentry accounts for their required 3 new Level 1 VIP Customer enrollments. However, they must be linked by the end of the contest. If you would like to link your accounts and are a Diamond Brand Ambassador, please contact the Jewel line and they will assist you with the process. |
| Multiple Accounts | Am I able to combine Enrollment, Rank Advancement, and Retention Credits from multiple accounts to earn the Rising Leaders Retreat prize tiers? | No, you cannot combine credits earned on multiple accounts to earn the Rising Leaders Retreat prize tiers. However, you can earn the prize tiers independently on each of your accounts. |
| Reentry Accounts | Will reentry accounts be eligible to earn Enrollment, Rank Advancement, or Retention Credits during the 2025 Rising Leaders Retreat Contest? | Yes, reentry accounts will be eligible to earn credits in this contest. However, credits earned on reentry accounts cannot be combined with credits earned on other accounts towards earning the prize tiers. Each account earns credits independently of one another. |
| Spouse Accounts | Will spouse accounts be eligible to earn Enrollment, Rank Advancement, or Retention Credits during the Rising Leaders Retreat Contest? | Yes, spouse accounts will be eligible to earn credits in this contest. However, the credits earned on spouse accounts cannot be combined with credits earned on other accounts toward earning the prize tiers. |
| Prize Tier | Do Brand Ambassadors have to accrue each of the 3 types of credits to qualify to earn prize tiers in this contest? | No, Brand Ambassadors do not have to earn all 3 types of credits throughout the contest to qualify to earn the prize tiers. |
| Compression | Does compression apply for this contest? | Yes, compression does apply for this contest. However, due to compression, the credits you earn in each month may fluctuate. |
| International Sign Up | If a US Brand Ambassador signs up someone in Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, or Canada, would that person count towards earning credits in the contest? | Yes, as long as the person living in any of these countries places an order of at least 100 PV or more. This person could potentially earn the Brand Ambassador Enrollment Credits and/or Retention Credits depending on when they enroll during the contest period. |
| Commission Qualified | Am I still eligible to accrue credits for the Rising Leaders Retreat Contest if I am not commission qualified? | Brand Ambassadors will only be able to accumulate credits during the months in which they are currently commission qualified. Ex: During the contest, Rachel is commission qualified in September, October, and November, but she is not commission qualified in December. Therefore, she will not accrue any credits in December. |
| Commission Qualified | Will I lose credits if I am not commission qualified in any given month? | If a Brand Ambassador is not commission qualified in a particular month, they will not earn any credits during that month. No credits will be lost from your existing credit amount, but no new credits will be earned during that month. |
| Returns | Will any credits be subtracted from my account if a Retail/VIP Customer or Brand Ambassador in my downline makes a return? | Yes. If a Retail/VIP Customer or Brand Ambassador in your downline returns their order and the order drops below the qualifying order requirement during the contest period, you will experience a credit deduction. Ex: Lindsay is a Brand Ambassador who signed up Ashley as a new Level 1 VIP Customer with a 100 PV purchase. Lindsay received 20 Enrollment Credits from Ashley. Shortly after Ashley became a VIP Customer, she decided to return her entire order. As a result, 20 Enrollment Credits were deducted from Lindsay’s account because Ashley did not meet the necessary qualifying order requirement as a new VIP Customer. |
| Physical and Paid Levels | Do I earn credits on my physical or paid levels? | Credits are earned based on your paid levels during this contest. |
| Credits | Is there a limit to the number of credits we can earn? | There is no limit to the number of credits you can earn during the Rising Leaders Retreat Contest. |
| Credits | Is there a certain number of Enrollment, Rank Advancement, or Retention Credits that I must earn each month of the contest in order to qualify for the contest prize tiers? | No, there is no specific number of credits that a Brand Ambassador must earn each month of the contest to earn the prize tiers. |
| Plexus Leads Program | What if there is a sponsor change during the Rising Leaders Retreat Contest? | With the exception of Plexus Leads Program assignments, all activity and credits earned as a result of a sponsor change during the contest will be transferred to the new sponsor. |
| Plexus Leads Program | Does the Plexus Leads Program count toward this contest? | The Plexus Leads Program will only count towards earning Retention Credits and Rank Advancement Credits during the contest. |
| Double Credits Earned in September |
If I earn double credits in September, when will I receive them? |
