Expand Your Reach with the Refer a Friend Program
Expanding your network and growing your business is now a win-win for everyone! With our new Refer a Friend program, Preferred Customers (PCs) will earn USANA product credit as they introduce USANA to their family and friends.

The Refer a Friend program rewards PCs for simply sharing what they love. Each time a new customer shops USANA using a personal share link, your PC earns 10 per cent of the total order price in USANA product credits to use on future purchases. It’s really that easy. And a great way to inspire your network to share and shop their favourite USANA products.

As your circle of customers expands, your business grows, too.

Make Friends and Earn More
Sharing products you use and love with friends is a chance to talk about a healthy lifestyle. Encourage your PCs to start a conversation about the products they can’t live without. As new customers shop USANA products through a unique PC share link, your PC will earn product credits to use immediately. It’s a simple, easy, and fun way to connect.

The Refer a Friend program is a boost to your business:

• Receive 70 per cent of SVP from new customers generated by PCs—you’re automatically linked to every order, so simply sit back and enjoy the benefits.
• Expand your network. This incentive rewards each new connection—you earn more when they share USANA.
• Retain your USANA community. PCs are motivated to be involved, share their favourite USANA products, earn rewards, and place additional orders themselves—it’s a win-win.
• Build relationships beyond your immediate circle of influence—more connections mean more opportunities to grow your business.

Example
Sarah, your Preferred Customer, copies a product link from the referral management page and sends it to her cousin Jenny. Using the link, Jenny places a product order for $125 USD and signs up for Auto Order, generating 90 SVP. Sarah will receive $12.50 in product credits in her account to use on a future USANA order. And 63 SVP will roll up to you. And now, every time Jenny’s Auto Order is processed, or she places another order, both you and Sarah win.

Rules

Earning Credits

• Credits are earned based on the total price of the order placed using a PC personal share link, excluding shipping and taxes.
• Credits can be earned on both PC and Retail orders through a PC’s personal share link.
• If a referred customer decides to become a PC, they will be tied to the sponsoring PC, and the sponsoring PC will earn 10 per cent of every order they place, including Auto Orders.
• Retail purchases will only be tied to the sponsoring PC if purchases are made through their personal share link (or if the retail customer hasn’t cleared their cookies or opened a link from another PC or Associate).
• 1 credit = 1 USD, or the equivalent of market currency based on the standard commission exchange rate at time of order.
• Credits are converted to local currency at the time of generation and will stay at this rate until used.
• Credits will be issued to the sponsoring PC’s account when the order is completed (this happens every Friday).
• Credits can be earned across borders in participating markets (excluding Europe).
• Credits will expire after one year. All credits will be grouped by the month they are earned and will expire at the end of the same month the following year.

Impacts for Associates

• Orders placed through a referral link, as well as any PCs who enrol through that link, will be tied to the sponsoring PC and their Associate sponsor.
