Q4. How do I know who has joined as an affiliate and their purchases?
A4. Each month, you will receive a statement with your personal purchases and those of your affiliates. 
   
Q5. When do I get paid?
A5. Monthly commission checks for 5% of referred affiliate purchases are mailed with your monthly statement on the 5th of each month for the prior month.  The year-end 2% cash back bonus is paid the 3rd week of January for the prior year. 
   
Q6. What purchases qualify for the 5% referral commission and 2% year end cash back bonus?
A6. Only purchases made directly through the Golf Rewards Network qualify for commissions and year end cash back bonus.  Members must login and purchase directly through the www.golfrewardsnetwork.com website.  Any sales outside the network do not qualify (eg. purchasing additional products/ services on site).  Due to the low margins in the travel industry, travel purchases qualify for the 2% year end cash back bonus and a 2% affiliate commission.
   
Q7. What courses and businesses offer tee times, products and services through the GRN?
Q7. For a current list of participating businesses, click here.  More are joining everyday, though, and members have direct access to all current businesses and pricing.
   
Q8. How much can I save?
Q8. Your savings is directly proportional to how much you are currently spending on golf-related expenditures.  Products and services range anywhere from 10% off to FREE!  To learn how small business owners save thousands of dollars a year through the tax advantages of owning your own business, consult with a local tax accountant.
   
Q9. What is the minimal commitment if I join?
A9. We are so confident that you will enjoy the member benefits and the savings you receive through the cash back bonus, affiliate commissions, and tax advantages that there is no minimal commitment.  You may discontinue at any time.
   
Q10. How is my website set up?
A10. Once you join, we design a unique web page with your personalized information and work with you to determine a personal URL.  Visit www.JQgolf.com for a sample affiliate website.  Referring friends and potential affiliates is easy and you also receive a personalized matching email (eg. jim@jqgolf.com) to use for your business purposes.
   
Q11. Is this MLM or a pyramid scheme?
A11. No.  MLM companies have complicated multi-level compensation payout structures and pyramid schemes only involve the transaction of money (no products or services).  GRN is modeled after a "Buyers Club" concept like a food Co-op or Sam's Club.  GRN offers the opportunity for golfers to join an Affiliate program where simple commissions are paid on those that are directly referred and commissions are always paid on product or services sold, not for recruiting new affiliates.  Our affiliate program is similar to those offered by major companies like Amazon.com.  Most MLM companies sell off-brand items at expensive prices.  GRN deals only with quality, name brands and fulfills product and travel services through strategic partnerships with well-established companies at prices competitive or better than what is available to the general public.
   
Q12. How do I find out about more about the tax advantages of owning my own business?
A12. Consult with a local accountant who can also help you with all the details of formally establishing your business entity.
   
Q13. How do I get items to help me promote my business?
A14. Upon joining, you will be able to purchase business cards and GRN logo'd merchandise including shirts, golf bag, and other novelty items that have proven to be effective in helping spread the word.  GRN also offers regular seminars that give affiliates business building ideas and support.
   
Q14. Do I have to purchase any items?
A14. Outside the $19.95 monthly fee for your personalized website and customized email, you have no mandatory purchase requirements.
