USANA Chairman’s Club

/0 Comments/in /by

Launched in 2023, the Chairman’s Club brings together top USANA leaders who are committed to more than business success—they’re also passionate about making a meaningful difference in their communities and beyond.

What the Chairman’s Club Stands For

At its core, the Chairman’s Club empowers its members to benefit their communities through impactful service projects. From local fundraisers to global initiatives like the USANA Foundation’s Garden Tower project, Chairman’s Club members lead the charge in creating sustainable, long-term solutions to urgent, life-threatening issues like hunger and limited access to nutritious food. These leaders are business achievers and ambassadors of change who use their platforms to uplift others.

Vision

The Chairman’s Club unites members of the USANA family who have chosen to become pillars of change in support of USANA’s vision to create the healthiest family on earth. This network of successful and passionate individuals is united in its mission to end hunger in communities around the world while empowering each member to achieve their entrepreneurial and philanthropic goals.

Experience

The Chairman’s Club is your opportunity to build a philanthropic legacy you can be proud of. Throughout the year, you’ll receive personalized updates highlighting the communities you support. You’ll also be invited to join the USANA Foundation and members of the executive team on exclusive service trips to visit these communities in person.

Goals

The USANA Foundation is dedicated to eliminating hunger in communities through its innovative programs and initiatives. These efforts unite communities by providing access to healthy foods and creating a network of like-minded families and local leaders who offer guidance and support.

By donating $10,000 annually, each Chairman’s Club member has the opportunity to directly impact their own community, or numerous other communities around the world. Your contribution has the potential to provide over 500,000 meals in a single year!

The collective strength of the Chairman’s Club enables thousands of families to receive support annually. This means that approximately 31,250 people will consume 11,000,000 meals each year, thanks to the focused efforts and generosity of USANA’s elite, philanthropic leaders.

Qualifications
Set your goal now! Qualify for this incentive when you complete one of the options below:

Option 1: Achieve 30,000 CVP growth within two consecutive years of your selected regional qualification periods.
Year 1

  • The base period (31 December 2022–29 December 2023) and
  • The current period (30 December 2023–27 December 2024)

Year 2

  • The base period (30 December 2022–27 December 2024) and
  • The current period (28 December 2024–26 December 2025)

Option 2: Achieve all Executive Diamond Summit qualifications, along with CVP growth during the incentive qualification (19 October 2024–17 October 2025).

Requirements
Distributor must have advanced at least one rank after 1 July 2014 to a Diamond or a Star Diamond Director.
Distributor must not have attended an Executive Diamond Summit at the same rank.
Distributor must have CVP growth during the qualification period.
Distributor must earn rank-level CVP requirement for a period of any consecutive 13 weeks, after rank advancement and within the 52-week annual qualification period:

Executive Diamond Director:                       52,000 total CVP
Executive 1-Star Diamond Director:           65,000 total CVP
Executive 2-Star Diamond Director:           78,000 total CVP
Executive 3-Star Diamond Director:           91,000 total CVP
Executive 4-Star Diamond Director:           104,000 total CVP
Executive 5-Star Diamond Director:           117,000 total CVP
Executive 6-Star Diamond Director:           130,000 total CVP
Executive 7-Star Diamond Director:           143,000 total CVP
Executive 8-Star Diamond Director:           156,000 total CVP
Executive 9-Star Diamond Director:           169,000 total CVP
Executive 10-Star Diamond Director:         182,000 total CVP
Executive 11-Star Diamond Director:         195,000 total CVP
Executive 12-Star Diamond Director:         208,000 total CVP
Executive 13-Star Diamond Director:         221,000 total CVP
Executive 14-Star Diamond Director:         234,000 total CVP
Executive 15-Star Diamond Director:         247,000 total CVP
Executive 16-Star Diamond Director:         260,000 total CVP
Executive 17-Star Diamond Director:         273,000 total CVP
Executive 18-Star Diamond Director:         286,000 total CVP
Executive 19-Star Diamond Director:         299,000 total CVP
Executive 20-Star Diamond Director:         312,000 total CVP

The 13 consecutive weeks start after a new rank is advanced. Therefore, if a Distributor advances to a new Diamond rank and proceeds to qualify for the Summit without a break, the CVP from the four weeks that qualifies him or her for the rank advancement does not count towards the 13-week requirement.

There is no time limit for the achievement of the 13-week rank-level CVP. A Distributor can qualify for the Summit several years after the actual rank advancement, as long as the rank remains at the start of a qualification period.

The 13 consecutive weeks must fall entirely within a qualification period. Therefore, if a Distributor achieves four weeks after the cut-off day, they will not qualify for the Summit even though the entire 13-week CVP met rank-level requirement.

Multiple Rank Advancements Within a Qualifying Period

When a Distributor advances multiple Diamond ranks in a year, the following applies:

  • They can qualify in the current period using the lowest eligible Diamond rank for the period.
  • For example: John attended the EDS in the previous year as an Executive 1-Star Diamond. In the current period, he advances first to 2-Star, then to 3-Star and 4-Star Diamond. He can qualify in the current period by achieving the CVP of a 2-Star Diamond (and not necessarily 3 or 4-Star) in any 13 consecutive weeks.
  • In the same example, had John also achieved the CVP of a 3 or 4-Star Diamond in the current period, he will not receive additional trips as rewards. Instead, the local market can add an appropriate reward (such as a dinner held in his honour prior to departure or return from the Executive Diamond Summit.)
  • He qualifies for the next Summit by earning CVP at his current rank and the start of the following period.
  • Extending the example above, since John starts the next qualifying period as a 4-Star Diamond, he must achieve CVP at 4-Star rank to go to the next Summit.
  • He can no longer use his 3-Star rank achieved, even though he has not attended a trip at this rank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: If I earn 32,000 CVP growth qualification year 1 and 30,000 CVP growth qualification year 2 will I earn the Global Elite Growth incentive?
A: Yes, you earned the required 30,000 CVP in both year 1 and year 2 qualification periods.

Q: If I earn 80,000 CVP growth qualification year 1 and 10,000 CVP growth qualification year 2 will I earn the Global Elite Growth incentive?
A: No. The required 30,000 CVP growth was achieved in year 1, but in year 2 the minimum 30,000 CVP growth was not achieved.

Q: If I cannot attend the 2026 Global Elite Growth trip, can I attend the 2027 Global Elite Growth trip instead?
A: No, your incentive trip cannot be deferred.

The following questions apply to an Distributor who starts a qualification period as a 1-Star Diamond:

Q: Can I qualify for the Executive Leadership Summit if I achieve 1-Star CVP for 13 consecutive weeks during the qualification period?
A: Yes, except in the following situations:

  • If you advanced to 1-Star Diamond before July 1, 2014 you do not qualify. (The Executive Leadership Summit started on this date.)
  • If you have previously participated in a Leadership Summit at the 1-Star rank, you do not qualify.

In either situation above, you will need to advance to 2-Star Diamond and then achieve 2-Star CVP for 13 consecutive weeks to qualify.

Q: I achieved my 1-Star Diamond rank more than a year ago. Can I still qualify for the Summit by earning 1-Star CVP for 13 weeks this qualifying period?
A: Yes. Once you have achieved a new Diamond rank, you may qualify for the Summit in any year thereafter if you are still at that rank at the start of a qualification period (see exceptions in the question above).

Q: In the previous qualifying period, I advanced from Emerald Director to Diamond Director and then to 1-Star Diamond. Since I haven’t attended a Summit at the Diamond level, can I qualify this period by achieving 13 weeks at the lower Diamond CVP?
A: No. Your rank at the start of a qualification period determines your minimum qualification. Since you are a 1-Star Diamond at the start of this qualification period, you’ll need to achieve 13 weeks of 1-Star CVP to qualify.

Q: In the situation above, I would be better off waiting until after the qualification period starts before advancing to 1-Star Diamond. Doesn’t this discourage me from building my business quickly?
A: The Summit is a reward for leaders who build their businesses in a stable manner. So we assume you have a solid, Diamond+-level income before advancing to 1-Star.

Q: In the last four weeks of accumulating my 1-Star CVP for Summit qualification, I also advanced to 2-Star Diamond. Do I still qualify for the Summit?
A: Yes. The 13-week CVP requirement depends on your rank at the start of this qualification period. It’s not affected by a new rank achieved during the period.

Q: What if I achieve my 13-week 1-Star CVP, advance to 2-Star CVP, and achieve 13 weeks of 2-Star CVP all in the same qualification period? Does that qualify me for two Summits—this and the next year?
A: No, you may not “bank” Summit trips this way. To qualify for the next Summit, you’ll need to repeat your 13 weeks of 2-Star CVP sometime during the next qualification period.

Sustainability is important to us, and we know it’s important to you. That’s why we’re working hard to invest in our people, products, and the planet. Together, we can create a healthier world and a brighter future.

To commit to this vision, we have examined the ways we package products to find solutions that reduce waste while keeping the authenticity and quality you expect from USANA.

After much consideration, plastic shrink wrap will no longer be used on product bottles. Timing will vary by market and product, but you can expect to see this new sustainable packaging soon.

All product bottles will still have a safety inner seal for your protection—continuing USANA’s commitment to manufacture with world-class excellence.

Our core values—health, excellence, integrity, and community—drive every decision we make. Thank you for your support as we make sustainable changes across the globe. Please contact your local customer service team if you have any questions.

FAQs

Q. Why is USANA removing shrink wrap from its product packaging?
A. We’ve examined the ways we package products and have determined the shrink wrap creates unnecessary plastic waste. Because sustainability and environmental responsibility are important to us, we’re making this decision to better invest in our people, products, and the planet.

Q. Is this change affecting all product packaging, or just some products?
A. This change will eventually affect all products currently using shrink wrap.

Q. When will this change be implemented?
A. Timing will vary by market and product, but you can expect to see this change occur in 2022.

Q. Will removing the shrink wrap affect product potency, quality, or safety?
A. No. This change only affects product packaging, not the products themselves. All our product bottles have inner seals for your protection—this inner seal will remain.

BIR Official Receipt FAQs

Q: Why do I have to submit an Official Receipt?

A: Section 237 of the Tax Code states all persons subject to an internal revenue tax shall, at the point of sale of goods or service valued at One Hundred Pesos (P100) or more, issue duly registered receipts or sales or commercial invoices showing date of transaction, quantity, unit cost, and description of merchandise or nature of service.

Q: How do I secure an Official Receipt?

A: The BIR has issued Revenue Regulations No. 7-2012 to consolidate revenue procedures for primary registration, updates, and cancellation. To secure Official Receipts, a taxpayer must undergo primary and secondary registration with the BIR:

  • Primary Registration
    • Secure Tax Identification Number (TIN)
    • Register Business and obtain Certificate of Registration (COR) or BIR Form 2303
  • Secondary Registration
    • Secure Authority to Print Receipts (ATP) and register commercial documents used to conduct business, including but not limited to an Official Receipt.
    • Register and maintain books of accounts—manual or loose-leaf books of accounts or a computerized accounting system may be used.

Q: Can I submit a sales invoice instead of an Official Receipt? What is the difference between an Official Receipt and sales invoice?

A: No. An Associate who earns commissions is required to submit a valid Official Receipt. Official Receipts must be issued for all sales of service, including commissions.Sales invoices are required to be issued for sales of goods. A sales invoice provides evidence the sale of goods has occurred and payment has come due for goods purchased.

Q: Where can I submit an Official Receipt?

A: Official Receipts may be submitted to any of the following:

Q: If I completed my BIR registration and submitted an Official Receipt in April 2021, should I submit receipts for all commissions earned since last year?A: No. Official Receipts registered in 2021 may be issued for commissions earned within the same year. If and when the Official Receipt was registered and printed after the start of the year, the Associate may issue just one Official Receipt for the aggregate currency amount of commissions earned during the same year, up to the printing of this valid Official Receipt.

Q: Why do I have a deduction from my commissions?

A: Failure to issue a valid Official Receipt on all commission income could expose USANA (“the Company”) to potential income tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) liabilities. As such, 30% and 12% (as applicable) will be deducted from your commission payout to be put in escrow. This amount will be released within three (3) business days upon your issuance of the required valid Official Receipt and Commission Release Acknowledgment Form to the Company.

Q: Is this also the case with any withholding tax and VAT?

A: No, the 30% and 12% (as applicable) deductions are different from withholding tax and VAT (refer to question 6).Withholding Tax—The Company is required by law to withhold applicable taxes from all commission payments to resident Associates, based on latest Revenue Regulations issued by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR).VAT—The company pays Value Added Tax-Associates an additional 12% of their commissions. This amount should be remitted by the Associate to the BIR.

Q: How do I determine the 30% deduction?

A: The deduction is calculated based on your total gross earnings as an Associate.

Q: When will USANA be implementing the BIR Official Receipt policy and provisions?

A: The 30% and 12% (as applicable) deduction will take effect during our commission week ending February 19, 2021. This will be reflected on the payout received the following week.

Q: When will I receive the 30% back?

A: The 30% deduction will be released within three (3) business days of your issuance of the required valid Official Receipt and Commission Release Acknowledgment Form to the Company.

Q: What is the process to release the 30% deduction?

A: An Associate must comply with the following to release the 30% and 12% (as applicable) deductions:

Submit an original copy of duly accomplished valid Official Receipt to the Company. Refer to question 4 for submission options.

Submit digital Commission Release Acknowledgment Form located here on The Hub.

Q: Where can I access the Commission Release Acknowledgment Form?

A: The Commission Release Acknowledgment Form (also called a CRA) can be found here on The Hub. You will be sent Hub notifications confirming the Company has received your Official Receipt, as well as notifications if you need to digitally sign a Commission Release Acknowledgment.

Below are the kinds of notifications you may receive through The Hub. Here, you can monitor your Official Receipt status and see whether you have digitally signed a Commission Release Acknowledgment.

Q: Can I print, sign, and submit a blank Commission Release Acknowledgment Form?

A: No. The system is not able to capture a manually signed hard copy of a Commission Release Acknowledgement Form. The Commission Release Acknowledgment Form should be signed digitally to facilitate processing for release of the 30% and 12% (as applicable) deductions.

Q: When is the deadline to submit an Official Receipt to release withheld commissions?

A: Associates are encouraged to issue a valid Official Receipt as soon as the commission amount earned for the past week is known.An Associate has until the second commission week following the end of the fiscal year to submit a valid Official Receipt, after which the 30% deduction will be automatically forfeited.A VAT Associate has until the second commission week following the end of the fiscal quarter to submit a VAT Official Receipt, after which the 12% deduction will be automatically forfeited.

Associates will receive a notification on the first day of the two-week grace period following the end of the fiscal year, along with notifications every two days thereafter, for the remainder of the grace period.

Q: If forfeited, can I include the 30% deduction in my annual tax computation?

A: As an Associate, it may be possible to treat your forfeited 30% deduction as an expense. Consult your tax accountant for further details.

Q: Are deductions applicable to all commission earners?

A: The 30% and 12% (as applicable) deductions would apply to those earning USD $200 or more until our April 23, 2021 commission week. Beginning the commission week of April 30, 2021, the 30% and 12% (as applicable) deductions would apply to those earning USD $100 or more.

Q: Why is a 30% deduction required for all commission earners?

A: As mentioned in question 1, Official Receipts are required to be issued for transactions valued at P100 or more. As mentioned in question 6, if an Associate fails to issue an Official Receipt, they are exposing the Company to possible tax and VAT liabilities, hence the 30% and 12% deductions. These deductions are retained by the Company until such time the Associate complies with the Official Receipt and Commission Release Acknowledgment Form requirement. The amount retained does not reduce any earnings of the Associate and is merely held in escrow.The tax exemption is dependent on the aggregate annual income of an Associate.

Q: If I earn less than USD $200 per week, the company won’t deduct 30% from my commissions. Is this true for the whole year? Am I not required to submit an Official Receipt?

A: The 30% and 12% (as applicable) deductions would apply to those earning USD $200 or more, only until the commission week of April 23, 2021. Associates earning less than USD $200 will not be required to issue an Official Receipt until this time but are still encouraged to do so. An Associate should be ready to comply if and when their earnings exceed the threshold.Beginning the commission week of April 30, 2021, all Associates earning USD $100 or more will be subject to the same deductions.

Q: Say I earned USD $300 last week and USD $100 this week. Will 30% of my commissions be deducted from my income?

A: The 30% and 12% (as applicable) deductions apply only to earnings of USD $200 or more (until the commission week of April 23, 2021—see question 17). If an Associate earns, for example, USD $300 in a particular week, then the deduction would apply for that week, and each week moving forward.

To illustrate:

Week 1 USD $100 Not subject to deduction and not required to issue an Official Receipt
Week 2 USD $200 Subject to deduction and required to issue an Official Receipt
Week 3 USD $100 Subject to deduction and required to issue an Official Receipt

If at any point in time an Associate reaches the threshold requiring the issuance of an Official Receipt, they will be required to do so for any subsequent earnings, regardless of the amount.

Beginning the commission week of April 30, 2021, all Associates earning USD $100 or more will be subject to the same deductions.

To illustrate:

Week 1 USD $99 Not subject to deduction and not required to issue an Official Receipt
Week 2 USD $100 Subject to deduction and required to issue an Official Receipt
Week 3 USD $99 Subject to deduction and required to issue an Official Receipt

Q: Aside from the 30% deduction, what will happen to my account if I don’t comply with these requirements?

A: If an Associate fails to comply with the Official Receipt and Commission Release Acknowledgment Form requirements within the prescribed period set forth, the amount deducted will automatically be forfeited in favor of the company without further demand.

Online Credit Card Protection Services

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Protecting your personal information is a top priority. And to help maintain the highest levels of financial security, USANA launched Proofpoint.

Proofpoint is a highly sophisticated system designed to protect your credit card information. It scans every email to ensure sensitive information is not being transmitted. If Proofpoint detects a 15/16-digit credit card number in an email sent to USANA, the email is rejected. USANA will then send a notification email to inform the sender of further instructions to complete their transaction.

We strongly encourage any business involving financial information to be done on The Hub or by contacting Customer Service.
