Quick answer: Whenever a member you personally referred makes an eligible purchase with a partner, you earn 10% of that purchase on ClubAffili. There is no qualification and no cap. Other programmes on the platform set their own Direct rate.
Who earns it
The sponsor — the member whose referral link or code the buyer registered with. Only the direct sponsor earns Direct; it does not pass further up.
What counts
Purchases that the partner reports as settled (paid and completed).
Purchases made by your personal referrals — members who registered with your link.
The reward is a percentage of the commissionable value the partner reports (the purchase amount, or the partner's commissionable margin where the partner defines one).
What doesn't count
Cancelled or refunded purchases (unpaid rewards are cancelled).
Purchases by members you didn't personally refer (those create Binary points for you instead, if they're in your legs).
Example
Maria registers with your link and books a $1,000 trip with a travel partner. Once the booking is settled, you earn up to $50 Direct reward. The $1,000 also becomes points in the leg Maria sits in for you and your upline.
When it's paid
Direct rewards are calculated when the partner transaction settles and credited to your reward balance in the weekly cycle. You can then request a payout.
Related questions
Why is my Direct reward less than I expected? The Direct rate is configured per programme, so it differs between ClubAffili programmes — your dashboard shows the rate that applies to you. Partners may report a commissionable margin rather than the full price, and your program's configured rate may be lower for some partners. Your Rewards page shows the exact basis for each transaction.
Does my own purchase earn me Direct? No — Direct is paid to your sponsor on your purchase. Your own purchase does create points in your sponsor's leg.
