# Direct reward: 10% on your personal referrals

How the Direct reward works on ClubAffili: 10% of what your personal referrals buy, who earns it, and when it is paid.

**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.
