How do we get the most from the MRP (Member Rewards Points) we earn?
This question has only just been asked and already there have been a lot of answers from SFI affiliates. What they all say is quite valid. BUT I have a different way of thinking about Member Rewards Points. (Note too, it is member rewards points not member reward points – the word “rewards” is plural.)
Most answers to this question support the idea of using MRP to obtain and/or retain one’s rank in SFI, and usually by suggesting that you buy 1 TCredit for 126 MRP so you can receive 102 VersaPoints (VP) for the purchase and hence become an Executive Affiliate (EA) again.
Yes, that is one use of MRP, but REALLY, is it the best use of them?
Shouldn’t we consider what MRP are?
SFI give them to us as a “reward” for all our hard work in SFI.
Do we do anything in SFI just to get the MRP? No we don’t.
MRP are a bonus - a lovely bonus – that we get every time we purchase a product or service from TripleClicks, play a Game, bid in a Pricebusters Auction, download a song, and for being a W3 member.
Initially as I saw my MRP total growing I thought I would save up and buy TCredits with them. I worked out that the best value I could get from my MRP was if I bought 200 TCredits. That would cost me 11,960 MRP or 59.8 MRP per TCredit. And I nearly did that too.
Then I thought that a better way of using MRP would be to use them to PROMOTE MY SFI BUSINESS. Actually this is an extension of what SFI say about us having a TripleClicks Prepaid Mastercard from Payoneer
(refer to https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/CashCard)
“Your TripleClicks MasterCard from Payoneer is a powerful recruiting tool, too. Pull out your card and explain how your friends can become SFI affiliates, too, and get money from their own card 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from sales all over the world!”
Using MRP internally within SFI to buy TCredits is a bit like a big corporation shuffling paper between departments – does it actually create wealth? And it doesn’t produce anything that you can see.
And, REALLY, where is your “AIM HIGH! – DREAM BIG!” motto in this approach? Will you ever grow a profitable business by thinking this small?
ARE YOU SERIOUS?
May I suggest that you should be trying to SAVE income from your current budget and to TRANSFER BUY to invest in your SFI business. Perhaps you think you can’t do that. Maybe you can’t –but have your REALLY tried?
Please, I am not being negative. I just think that to succeed in SFI you have to have the right attitude.
WHEREAS, if you use MRP to REWARD yourself by buying something EXTRA from TripleClicks – something you don’t have already. Then you have both a product that ENHANCES your lifestyle in some way AND you have something that is PHYSICAL proof that SFI is a real business – you have something you can show to your family and friends and tell them, “I got this FOR FREE from my SFI business”.
And this is what I have done. I have used my MRP to buy two things from SFI so far: -
1. An Italian leather wallet. The one I had been using for many years was worn out and had holes in it. Now I have a very smart new leather wallet that I use everyday. It contains my bank cards, including my PAYONEER MasterCard, my loyalty cards, business cards and some receipts. It didn’t cost me one cent AND I got FREE shipping too.
2. A set of bathroom scales. Something I didn’t have but had wanted for some time. This one has about 6 functions. It’s a great aid to me leading a healthier lifestyle – something I strive to do (and am still working on). AND again I got it with FREE shipping.
And my MRP wish list includes such things as: - backpack, swim wear, camping gear, bike gear. (Actually it’s a pretty long list.)
And GUESS WHAT? Those two purchases used up all the MRP I had earned BUT as of today I have already earned another 4,826 MRP – so it’s almost time for me to GO MRP SHOPPING again. (I just LOVE SFI!!!)
So, you can think small, if you want too, and use MRP to buy single TCredits. OR you can AIM HIGH and DREAM BIG and use MRP to ENHANCE your life and REWARD yourself. May I suggest you choose the latter.
NOTE: I wish to add ”a big thank you” to all the ECAs that provide FREE SHIPPING too. That is almost an essential criteria I use when I am choosing which ECA to buy from.
