Upgrades, Add-ons & ReinstatementsHow are upgrades and add-onsdone?In order to upgrade or add on to an existingplan, members must fill out a new member-ship application. The bank draft or creditcard information must show the newmonthly bank draft amount. “Upgrade” or“Add-on” must be written across the top ofthe membership application.

Important:Member must authorize total newamount to be withdrawn in the bankdraft,not just the amount of the upgrade or add-on.

ExampleIf, for example, a member wishes to upgradeto the $25.00 plan or add the Legal Shieldbenefit to an existing family plan, a newmembership application must be filled outwith the new bank draft informationcompleted and the application must besubmitted to the Home Office.

NotePPLSI reserves the right to disqualify anyadd-on ($16.00 to $25.00, for example) fromcounting toward Executive Director Qualifi-

cation, Level promotions, or contests.Counters will not be given for upgrades oradd-ons written by the same Associate ororganization within 90 days of the originalapplication’s processing date.

How are reinstatements done?When an Associate reinstates a member-ship that has been cancelled over 90 days, anew writing Associate can be assigned. Ifyou were the original writing agent, nocounter will be issued, but you will receiveas-earned commissions. The new Associatewill receive a $40 reinstatement commissionand a counter ($30 if the member wasoriginally paying less than $10 a month) aswell as be able to earn on the membershipthrough future years.

When an Associate reinstates a member-ship that has not been cancelled over 90days, the original writing Associate willremain as the Associate and continue toearn on the membership.

If the membership has been cancelled forfive (5) years or longer, the new writingagent will be paid advance commissions onthe sale as a new membership.
