Referral Rewards Plan (and Affiliate Program)
By participating in this program, User agrees to abide by these Terms and Privacy Policy. The program rewards Users for referring new Annual Users to the company. Referrals that initially elect a trial period will rewarded at a rate of 30% of the current referral reward amount for an annual membership (special incentives for annual membership referrals do not apply to trial membership referrals rewards).. For example, if the annual membership referral is $5.00, then if a referral elects a trial membership, then the referral fee would be $1.50. Money is earned after the "new"/referred User is an active member for 7 days. PremierShoppers.com offers an annual bonus program for Shopper Users based on the base annual referral reward dollars earned. Special referral incentive awards (I.e. double reward dollars, computers, trips, and other incentives) do not count towards the bonus criteria. The top 5 referring Shopper Users who have earned at least $75 of base referral rewards qualify for the plan. The referral rankings are based on the calendar year with the exception of the inaugural year which will be based on the timeframe equal to Launch date of the site (anticipated to be September 15, 2008) through December 2009. Thereafter, the year will run January – December of each respective year.
  • Money earned will be paid in full at each month’s end.
  • User may not refer yourself, existing members
  • Renewal memberships are not subject to the program
  • If a referred customer is referred by more than one member, the member with the earlier referral will earn the referral reward
  • PremierShoppers.com will not credit more than 1 User for the referral
  • Each referring Shopper member must have a unique credit card number and email address (User may not use their credit card for a referral)
  • To qualify as a referred customer, such referral must purchase the annual membership. Should a trial membership be elected initially, the referral will not be credited to the referring member until such time as the referred customer becomes a paid annual member.

PremierShoppers.com reserves the right to change, modify, or cancel this program at anytime, with or without notice to you. PremierShoppers.com also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to impose certain features or restrictions without notice and PremierShoppers.com will not be liable to User or any third party for any claim or cause of action arising out of this program or the site.

User may not abuse the program in any way. PremierShoppers.com, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate the User's participation in the plan and withdraw any rewards earned and unpaid. All warranties and representations made throughout these Terms apply to this program.

We also offer a referral reward calculator within the site to illustrate the rewards you can earn. The referral calculator is for illustrative purposes only based on user hypothetical inputs and where those inputs (if accurate at the time of inputting) would rank you nationally.

Monthly Surveys & Contests
Periodically, PremierShoppers.com will conduct proprietary surveys and/or referral (or other) contests for its Users. Any rewards and/or compensation earned from these programs is separate and apart from the referral program except in the fact that all referrals made will always earn the current referral reward and be counted towards the annual bonus program. In all cases, a referral must still meet the requirements noted herein (i.e. 7 days, unique credit card, etc.).
