TWO NEW X-CARDS DEBUT!

NOW AVAILABLE! Two new X-Cards you can use to spread the word about TripleClicks, gain new TC Members, and boost your commissions!

USA Football X-Cards (pack of 50): Designed exclusively to tap into football fever and promote our TD Tally and Pick Or Punt Eager Zebra games, the business-card-sized USA Football X-Card sports a glossy, full-color front-side and is printed on heavy card stock. The card features an invitation to all fantasy football fans to join the fun and play our Eager Zebra football games: TD Tally and Pick or Punt. Click the link below for full X-Card details and to order.

https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=375474

TripleClicks X-Cards (pack of 50): Redesigned to reflect all the exciting, recent additions and enhancements to TripleClicks.com, these X-Cards are designed to promote the TripleClicks Website, including Pricebenders, Eager Zebra games, TC Music, our grand selection of products from all over the world, and the ability to sell your stuff at TripleClicks. Click the link below for full X-Card details:

https://www.tripleclicks.com/detail.php?item=375448

At just $0.08 apiece, These new X-Cards are a great, easy, and inexpensive way to promote your TripleClicks store. After printing your SFI ID number in the gray box located on side two of the X-Card, you just distribute them per the suggestions outlined in the Affiliate Center Marketing Methods page. Your recipients enter your SFI ID in the URL referenced on the X-Card and sign up for free as a TC Member (with you as their referrer). You'll receive an e-mail notification each time one of your cards generates a new member sign-up and earn commissions on any purchases they make...SIMPLE!

TIP: Because these cards (and the landing page it links to) is "generic," you can use them to promote ANY aspect of TripleClicks. Example: You could give one to someone you know who likes to play online games. Or, if you've just won a great deal at Pricebenders auctions, you could show a prospect what you won (and for how much) and give them a card to go check it out. Know someone who's having a garage sale? Give 'em a card and mention the "sell your stuff" component. And so on. Whatever you want to promote at TripleClicks, you can use this card for it.

APPLE iPAD AIR 2 AND iPAD MINI 3 NOW AT THE MRP STORE!

Stop by the MRP Store for the latest and greatest versions of Apple's iPad Air and iPad Mini!

Both offer immensely powerful capabilities in a thin and light case. Both come with brilliant Retina display, iOS 8, advanced wireless technologies, Touch ID, and lots of other extras and updates. Both are available in popular space gray or gold. But while the iPad Air 2 boasts a new A8X chip that delivers substantially better CPU and graphics performance than its predecessor, the small, fast and incredibly capable iPad Mini 3 packs a punch without getting in your way.

Check them both out and choose the one right for you at the MRP Store:

http://www.tripleclicks.com/member_rewards.php

ABOUT THE MRP STORE: The MRP store contains a variety of hot products available for purchase with Member Rewards Points only. You can earn MRP each time you make a monetary purchase at TripleClicks, bid on a Pricebenders auction (5 MRP/bid), play an Eager Zebra game (5 MRP/TCredit spent), or participate in our free WAVE3 program (50 free MRP/month). To redeem your MRP, just add an item to your shopping cart and choose MRP as your payment method during checkout.

ALL TripleClicks products can be purchased with your MRP. Just browse our tens of thousands of other products at TripleClicks and look for the MRP value displayed next to the item's price.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PAYPAL-PAID STANDING ORDERS!!

Due to our recently updated TripleClicks billing system, all Standing Orders paid via PayPal MUST be processed through a new billing agreement. As a result, SFI Affiliates who have a Standing Order created PRIOR to October 7, 2014, AND paid through their PayPal accounts will no longer receive their 100 Bonus VP benefit for 1,500+ VP Standing Orders.

To continue to receive Standing Orders, including Bonus VP, Affiliates with pre-October 7th SOs MUST cancel their existing standing order from their own PayPal account THEN set up a new TripleClicks Standing Order (must be at least 1,500 VP to continue to receive the 100 Bonus VP).

<><><><><><><><><><><>

SURVEY VP CLARIFICATION

We've recently been getting a lot of support tickets regarding the daily action to earn 1 VP for answering survey questions. As you may recall, in our July 24th SFI News Blog post where we introduced this daily action, we noted that there was a limited number of surveys and, hence, a limited number of VersaPoints that could be earned (at least 100-150 VP). Although most affiliates have not yet exhausted all questions, some who started submitting answers early on have indeed reached the limit of available surveys and are no longer seeing the survey option on their To-Do Lists (https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=to-do_list). There may be more survey questions forthcoming, however. So these affiliates should be on the watch for the option re-appearing on their To-Do Lists at that time.

YOUR WEEKLY TIP

Find your affiliates online!

How can you find and communicate with your team members who are currently online at the SFI Affiliate Center? Just look for the "yellow SFIM bubbles”--on your Genealogy report (https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/Genealogy), on the Movers tab on your Affiliate Center homepage, on Affiliate Manager pages, and on your Upline Team page. Just click the yellow bubble to initiate an online conversation with that affiliate.

A few tips:

* If you're chatting with a person who's primary language is different than your own, keep Google Translate open in another browser window so you can cut and paste text as needed to translate your conversation.

* When initiating contact with downline members, focus on how you can help them. Support and assist your downline, and you will build a stronger, more profitable group.

NOTE: If the bubble icon is gray, it means the individual is not online, or he/she has not entered IM information, or has not given your permission to contact him or her via IM.
