Frequently Asked Questions
When is the qualifying period for the Fast Start Program?
Starting, January 1, 2021 at 12:00 a.m. ET Ambassadors have the opportunity to Rank Up for the first time and earn cash bonuses for their achievements. Please see the chart below for eligibility and Rank achievement deadlines in order to earn Fast Start Bonuses with the Fast Start Program. If a qualification is achieved earlier than noted in the chart, the Ambassador will earn the Fast Start Bonus.
Example: If an Ambassador enrolled April 20th and Ranks up to Sr. Silver in May and Gold in June, they are not eligible for a Fast Start 30-day Silver or Senior Silver Bonus because they already achieved these ranks and received the one-time achievement and incentive bonus for each. They will receive the Fast Start bonus for achieving Gold and are still eligible for the Sr. Gold through Sr. Ruby Fast Start bonuses.
Example: If an Ambassador enrolled on May 31st, they are not eligible for the 30-Day Silver Fast Start Bonus. However, they are eligible to earn Sr. Silver through Sr. Ruby Fast Start Bonuses.
Example: If an Ambassador enrolls on June 5th, they will be eligible for all Fast Start bonuses, including the 30-Day Silver
