Why are FDI and Youngevity partnering this way?

PHARMACY CARDS
What are the Pharmaceutical Discount Cards?
These are cards that you purchase at a minimal price. You then give them away (FREE) to others. They in turn use them at no cost or obligation when they purchase prescription pharmaceuticals. They will receive a discount from 10-85%, depending on the medication they’re purchasing.
Give a FREE gift to someone and they SAVE money! What a concept! The customers can share the card you’ve given them with their friends and family. You’ll receive a commission every time they use the card or refill a prescription.
But we at Youngevity encourage people to use preventative nutritional support versus pharmaceuticals and medications. Why would we offer these cards?
We DO believe in preventative health care, but the reality is that many people are using prescription medications either on a short term basis (such pain killers) or long term until their health improves. The bottom line is that if they’re going to use the medications anyway, let’s save them money! THEN share a Best of Dead Doctor’s Don’t Lie CD with them and let Doc educate them about alternatives! So think of it this way, the front side of the Pharmacy Card saves them money on their prescriptions and the back side gives them information on how to get off their prescriptions!
Do these cards work if I have insurance?
Yes. And often times, it may save you or your customers more money!
Are the Pharmaceutical Discount cards available now to order?
Yes.
Where can I order the Pharmaceutical Discount Cards I keep hearing about?
Go to and place your order there. Alternately, you can go to and click the link to order.
When I register on this page () and buy the cards, is the rep# they're asking for the same as my Youngevity ID#?
Yes! If you have letters in front of your ID#, be sure to use them.
What is 'usage commission'?
Usage commission is the commission made when a customer uses their Pharmaceutical Discount Card. If you are a Managing Associate / Regional Marketing Director or above, your 'usage commission' is 50 centsper customer use. If your rank is below Managing Associate / RMD, then your usage commission will be 25 cents per customer use.
Is the 'usage commission' on these Pharmacy Discount cards going directly through to my Youngevity Commission account?
Yes, you will be paid on a monthly basis. Because the commission is paid 60 days in retro, you won’t see it in your September or October checks but you can expect to begin seeing it in your November commission check.
Will I be paid monthly on the Pharmaceutical Discount cards?
Yes. Your 'usage commission' will be tallied and your commission will be based on those numbers.
Do I receive 'usage commission' from my downline's card customers as well as mine?
Yes! The Pharmacy cards have a 7-level usage commission of 10 cents per customer use for levels 2-7.
CEO PACKS
What is a CEO PACK?
CEO Packs are enrollment packs that will qualify new enrollees for bonuses and incentives. These packs consist of a combination of business training materials and products. A $100 Fast Start is paid to the Enroller for every CEO Pack purchased. There will be additional bonuses and incentives for existing Youngevity distributors in the future.
Where can I find out more information about CEO Packs?
and view the flyer.
If I am an existing Youngevity Distributor, do I need to purchase a CEO Pack?
No, you don’t need to purchase a CEO Pack if you are already an existing Youngevity distributor. You will still earn Unilevel Commissions as long as you maintain your qualification requirements. However, if you would like to participate in future CEO bonus programs and stock options, you will need to be “CEO Qualified”. We’ve made this very simple for you by offering a CEO Upgrade Kit for existing distributors ONLY. This CEO Upgrade Kit consists of business training materials and product samples that can be used to build your business.
COMPENSATION PLAN
Has the Youngevity Compensation Plan changed?
No. The FDI merger has brought many benefits to the Youngevity community. We have taken the best aspects of the FDI Compensation Plan and added them to the existing Youngevity plan.
But, why am I hearing people talk about ranks that I have not heard before?
After consulting with industry experts and the leaders of our company, we collectively decided that people closely relate to titles that are empowering and reflective of their role as leaders.
As an example, one of our leaders spoke of being at a BBQ and chatting with his neighbors who asked about his business. He stated that he was a Kona Double Diamond with Youngevity and they asked what that was. On the other hand, another leader was in a similar situation and said he was a Vice-Presidential Marketing Director, which is the same rank but clearly, a more powerful and relatable title. We’ve adopted these titles and will be using them moving forward. In the meantime, you will be hearing us use the titles interchangeably.
I’m hearing people talk about “Coding” - What is Coding?
Coding is a leadership bonus program that allows you to receive bonuses on everyone you enroll with a CEO Product Pack and everyone they enroll with a CEO Product Pack, through unlimited depth. The amount of the bonus depends on your title and the title of your downline enrollees at any given time. Complete details of this program will be outlined in future documentation and trainings.
