Pools & PoolPoints

For Standard, Premium and Premium Elite Members

All our memberships are made up of individuals (not companies) who participate in the profits generated by the Expansion Pool; which is, a common financial fund intended to be shared among the participants.

All participants of the City Director Program (CDP), i.e. Executive Directors and City Directors, worldwide, purchase products from different Business Units. The co-operative allocates 25% of all these purchases to the Expansion Pool.

Each Membership receives a share of that 25%: 2.5% for Standard, 7.5% for Premium and 15% for Premium Elite, percentages which are evenly distributed among the members.

The main requirement to access the Standard and Premium memberships Expansion Pool is to add a certain number of points, which are obtained by carrying out activities aimed at strengthening the co-operative and stimulating its expansion.

Another requirement is to present new free members (10 for Standard membership and 2 for Premium) within 90 days of registration. These requirements do not apply to Premium Elite Membership.
