AMERICAN EXPRESS GIFT CARDS!
Make commissions for EVERYDAY purchases - including
Groceries
Gas
Utility Bills
Car Maintenance
Toiletries
Entertainment
Travel
Okay, MPM members... the time has finally come to realize the power of earning commissions on every single thing you buy! After more than a year of researching different options and then running into various roadblocks, I believe we have found an answer that is fabulous NOW and will get even better in the future as we develop our relationship with American Express. I believe they're going to be blown away by the power of My Power Mall members but I have to tell you - if nothing changed from what it is RIGHT NOW, I would be thrilled - anything else will just be icing on top of a very rich chocolate cake. :)
It's very simple. You buy American Express Gift Cards and then use them exactly like an American Express credit card - anywhere they are accepted. When you purchase your card in your My Power Mall, you will earn a commission (from its purchase). Then you'll just be able to use your card, knowing when you need to purchase another American Express Gift Card, you will put more money back into the MPM PayPlan!
I've been using American Express for several years and find that more than 99% of the places I frequent accept them. What I'm most excited about is, by purchasing an AMEX Gift Card in my MPM Mall and receiving a commission on it, I can then use it to shop at Costco for groceries and gas. Before, I made no money when paying my bills – now I can, because of the commissions earned when purchasing the AMEX Gift Card. It's going to be so much fun to pay for groceries, go online to pay my Verizon bill, fill up my gas tank, and pay for my meals out - knowing that I'm putting money into the MPM PayPlan and building yet another amazing stream of income with my business! (Please understand that it is the purchasing of the AMEX Gift Card that generates the commissions -- not purchasing items with it.)
Think about it... Your My Power Mall business pays you in 3 ways now:
- Commissions from shopping in your Online My Power Mall!
- Team Pay from other World Changers!
- Commissions from EVERY purchase of an American Express Gift Card for your everyday items!
There are so many reasons I'm excited about these Gift Cards but let's just look at a few:
Benefits of Gift Cards**:
- No annual credit card fees
- You can buy the Amercian Express Gift Cards with a credit card that offers rewards if you have one, and increase your benefits. For instance, I will buy them with my American Express card and get Airline miles AND commissions.
- You can use them to purchase on the Mall & “double dip” into the commission pool.
- You can use them to purchase gift certificates through GiftCertificate.com, and then use them either on the MPM Mall or locally (keeping in mind you will not earn commissions from a purchase made outside of your My Power Mall). This allows you to “double OR triple dip” into the commission pool.
- They can be used to purchase anything you can use an American Express card for: Groceries, Gas, Utilities, Entertainment, Travel, etc.

Remember - you will make your commission when you purchase your AMEX Gift Card card. Then you'll just use it everywhere you spend money. When you've spent the value on that card, you'll buy more gift cards and put more money into the MPM PayPlan! So what does it pay back?

- The Classic and Specialty Gift Cards are commissionable; however, Gift Checks, Personalized, and Customizable Cards are not commissionable.
- The maximum payout per order is $250.
- There are maximum order limits (differing per consumer and business) that can be made within a 14-day period.
- The highest denomination that gift cards can be purchased in is $500 so you have to buy multiple cards to reach a higher amount.
And, I'm sorry for those of you living in these states. Hopefully this will change in the future!
Costs:
- $7.95 shipping per order (no matter how many cards)
- $3.95 per card fee. (NO Fee as long as you use the code you'll find on your Mall on the Featured Store site!)
Here are just a few things to realize:
- If you want to buy Gift Cards for Christmas (at even $25 increments) now you can because you'll only pay one Shipping Charge to have them sent to you!
- There is now no reason why people shouldn't be excited about the cards since they aren't going to have the per-card charge! Wow!
- If you decide to get an Award Credit Card to gain even more benefit from these cards, make sure you purchase it through one of the stores on your MPM Mall and put even more money into the MPM PayPlan! Click on Financial Services in the Directory, and then click on Credit Cards to find the one that will work best for you.
To say I'm excited about this would be putting it mildly. :)

It will change from time to time so make sure you check it each time!
As you explore this exciting new development, I want you to realize the power of these Gift Cards is released as you build a TEAM of people using them. There are costs involved, yes, but the return as your team grows is astounding - as you will soon see. You can't look at the ability to earn commissions through just your purchase of these AMEX Gift Cards - it will come as you build and your team members purchase them, too. If you have no intention of building a team, you need to just have a Personal Shopping Mall and then you'll make some money from the purchase of the cards. If you want to use them to develop huge income, you'll need to have a Long Range View. Let me show you...
__________________________________________
Now, let's take a look at how these cards pay out and what it will mean to you as your Team grows... The commission % isn't high, until you factor in just how much the average family spends on EVERYDAY items and then factor that into the PayPlan. That's when my eyes bugged out and I knew we had a winner!
Remember - BUYING the card generates the commissions (not the purchases made with it, unless the purchases are made in your MPM Mall)!
Commission Examples:
$500.00 $4.38 into PayPlan .882 % commission rate
$1100 $13.13 into PayPlan 1.31% commission rate
$1525 $18.18 ino PayPlan 1.575% commission rate
$2100 $36.75 into PayPlan 1.75% commission rate
You may need to start out with smaller amounts, but as EVERY person on your team begins to use these cards to make their purchases, your increased income will allow you to buy higher amounts at a time, pouring more into your business - with the people below you doing the same thing!
As I was exploring this option, I did "market research" with hundreds of MPM members. Overwhelmingly, they told me they spend at least $1100 a month on groceries, gas, utilities, etc. So let’s go with $1100 (3 cards) to get the highest commission rate:
*** Another thought... if you're in the position to buy $5000 worth of cards, it will be smart to buy 2 sets of $2500 in order to double your commissions. The $36.75 is the same whether its $2100 or $5000, so you can help increase the commission by buying them separately. :)
Return:
STEP # 1 - Be a MPM member and purchase at least $1100 in Amex Gift Cards.
$13.31 x 7% = $.91
______________________
STEP # 2 - Sign up 10 people who also purchase at least $1100 in Amex Gift Cards.
$13.31 X 14% = $1.86
10 X $.1.86 = $18.60
______________________
STEP # 3 - Though I believe your new members will also get 10 new members, for this example we'll say they only get 5 each who purchase at least $1100 in Amex Gift Cards on their MPM Malls.
$13.31 x 29% = $3.85
10 X 5 = 50
50 X $3.85 = $192.50
_______________________
STEP # 4 - And though I believe these 50 people will also want to get 10 team members, for this example we'll say they only get 5 each who purchase at least $1100 in Amex Gift Cards.
$13.31 X 4.65
50 X 5 = 250
250 X $4.65= $1162.50
________________________
TOTAL?? $1,374.51 monthly income
And then of course it will grow from there, combined with World Changer Team Pay
and your team's online purchases, that will now create even more income because they’ll be combining it with the Gift Card %.
Cost:
$1100 (cash value of the card)
$7.95 (shipping cost)
Hey, personally, I'll absorb the $7.95 cost any day when it is working toward nearly $1400 a month in additional income just on 3 levels below me - even with a small team. Running the numbers was what made me realize how powerful the American Express Card is, and what it will mean to your business.
If you can afford to buy more cards at a time, your value will only increase because of the additional money poured into the MPM PayPlan.
The American Express Gift Card returns incredible VALUE to you as you build your business and achieve the Financial Freedom you are working for.
- They are so much better than Debit Cards because they don't have the monthly charges and per use fees.
- They are so much better than Credit Cards because you don't have to qualify for them.
Sure, you have to use a Credit Card to purchase them so you want to be wise. Don't have a credit card? Find someone who does, offer them cash and ask them to purchase the cards for you. They'll be happy to, especially if they have a REWARD card that pays them cash or airline miles. They'll benefit and it will open this exciting new stream of income to you!
I bought my Gift Cards with my regular American Express credit card that pays me Airline miles - a great thing for me because I travel so much for business and pleasure. What an awesome thing to know I racked up air miles, will make a % every time I purchase a Gift Card, and that when I use it on the Mall itself I will make even more. And if I go to Gift Certificate.com, I will first make a commission from buying the AMEX card. Then I'll make a commission from GiftCertificate.com. Then, if I use the gift certificate on my Mall I will generate even MORE money. That's what I call SMART POWER SHOPPING! :)
Now, are there people who can't benefit from this right now? Unfortunately, yes. Because of prohibitive state costs, American Express does not sell cards to people in Hawaii, CT, VT or NH. Of course, if you live in one of these states, there is nothing to stop you from giving cash to someone in another state and have them buy cards for you on your mall and then mail them to you. :)
It's also not open to International members.... YET. We're already talking about it. My single biggest piece of advice to International members is join the World Changer Infomercial and bring in big numbers of U.S. members who CAN utilize all the income avenues with My Power Mall. And continue building in your own country utilizing the UNIVERSAL power of the World Changer program!

More Information About Your AmEx Gift Card:
- Some members have experienced the gift card checkout has a 5 minute limit. If exceeded, the order does not process. If this happens, try again.
- If your purchase is a big dollar amount ($200 or more) and the gift card order will not process with the credit card you are using; call your bank and see if they put a stop payment on your account for this order. The bank does this to protect your account from theft. Once you call your bank, this will be rectified and you can finish your gift card order.
If you will be purchasing less than $500 in cards,
you may want to compare fees and commissions
with the VISA Gift Cards.
