CSA Rewards Program

What is the CSA Rewards program?

05/02/2016 The CSA Rewards program gives all affiliates the opportunity to earn 10, 20, 30 or more new, income-boosting CSAs every month!

Here’s how it works:

Everyone is familiar with our program that awards 2 CSAs each month for going EA.  The CSA Rewards program takes that same concept and drastically expands it so that you can earn CSAs for dozens of actions!

One of the easiest ways to several new CSAs every month is by becoming Booster Club Qualified (BCQ), which includes 10 CSAs.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg…

BCQ status is just the top layer of the CSA Rewards program. Here are the lots of other ways to earn monthly CSAs:

Tip: To view the qualifications for all the SFI badges, see the BADGES GALLERY.

IMPORTANT! Each time you qualify for one or more CSAs from the CSA Rewards program, you'll receive an alert on your Alerts Tab.  You'll then need to visit the CSA Rewards Ledger to claim your CSA(s). To claim CSA(s), simply click the "CLAIM" button. Your request will immediately be queued and your CSA(s) will be added to your Genealogy as soon as new CSAs are available. This will normally be within 24 hours. CSAs unclaimed after 30 days are forfeited.

There is one exception: For the two CSAs that brand new affiliates receive upon initially achieving the rank of EA, claiming is not required.  Rather, for first-time EAs, the two CSAs will be awarded automatically.

We are also looking at adding some fun CONTESTS in which you’ll be able to win even more CSAs from the CSA Rewards program monthly, so stay tuned!

IMPORTANT NOTES: 

1. Some restrictions apply. See CSA Rewards Ledger for details.
2. There is a FINITE supply of CSAs available each month.  Though we do not anticipate having a month where there are not enough new CSAs available to fulfill delivery of every CSA earned from the CSA Rewards program, it IS possible.  Should this occur, fulfillment will be prioritized, first-come, first-served, with BCQ CSAs being awarded first, those with Team Leader ranks next, then EAs with the longest seniority.  For any actual shortage, TCredits, on a one-to-one basis (one TCredit per CSA), will be substituted for CSAs.  Again, however, this is a contingency plan ONLY.

FAQs

Q: Do I have to maintain my EA status to keep the CSAs I acquire?Yes!  It’s VITAL that you maintain your EA status.  Otherwise, ALL of your CSAs will be forfeited, no matter how you’ve acquired them.

Q: What’s the best way to make sure I maintain my EA status?The best and easiest way is to attain and keep BCQ status. It will also earn you 10 fresh, new CSAs each month (120/year).  

Q: I already sport some of the badges on the CSA Rewards list.  Does that mean I’ll now start automatically receiving the CSAs associated with these badges each month?Yes, just claim them from the CSA Rewards Ledger.  Add even more CSAs by meeting the qualifications for other badges.

Q: When during the month will the CSAs I’ve earned be awarded to me?
Each time you qualify for one or more CSAs from the CSA Rewards program, you'll receive an alert on your Alerts Tab.  You'll then need to visit the CSA Rewards Ledger to claim your CSA(s). To claim CSA(s), simply click the "CLAIM" button. Your request will immediately be queued and your CSA(s) will be added to your Genealogy as soon as new CSAs are available. This will normally be within 24 hours. CSAs unclaimed after 30 days are forfeited. The one exception is for the two CSAs that brand new affiliates receive upon initially achieving the rank of EA; those two CSAs will be awarded automatically.

Q: What is the age of the CSAs I’ll be receiving?We currently have a backlog of never-been-assigned CSAs going back as far as a several weeks, some of which will be used for the Bonus CSAs. Otherwise, the CSAs you receive going forward each month should typically be fresh, with the sign-up dates within days, and can even include brand new/today’s signups.  Some exceptions to this general rule may be seen occasionally, however, if supply outpaces demand appreciably.

Q: Will I be notified of CSAs that I have received?
Yes. Each time you qualify for one or more CSAs from the CSA Rewards program, you'll receive an alert on your Alerts Tab.  You'll then need to visit the CSA Rewards Ledger to claim your CSA(s). Therefore, you will always know when new CSAs have been awarded to you. And, of course, you can use the various filters in the Genealogy to always identify any group of CSAs you’ve received for any date, etc.

Q: I'm currently BCQ.  Do I get the Bonus CSAs?Yes.

Q: When will I receive the CSAs each month for being BCQ?After your BCQ status has been successfully processed and verified. Note that all CSAs earned from the CSA Rewards program must be claimed at the CSA Rewards Ledger. That is, a “Claim” button will be provided next to each action.  Click the “Claim” button to receive delivery of the CSAs earned.

Q: Why am I required to manually claim the CSAs I’ve earned?  Why not just automatically provide them to me?This nominal requirement is necessary to ensure that no CSAs are “wasted” on affiliates who are no longer actively working their SFI business and/or who can no longer fulfill (or are no longer willing to fulfill) the responsibilities of being a Co-Sponsor.

Q: What if I receive CSAs that are not active?  Can I get replacements?Sorry, replacing inactive affiliates isn’t feasible. And always remember that it will be a numbers game. The majority of people who join SFI will never commit to do the work required to be successful (success comes before work ONLY in the dictionary). This is just a reality that must be accepted. However, just as YOU “get’ SFI (as do tens of thousands of other affiliates), you will of course acquire smart and active CSAs too. They may not show up right away, but if you continue working your business and working with your team members, you’ll receive your share of active CSAs, some that may go on to be amongst SFI’s highest-achieving affiliates!

Q: Is it possible there will be other actions added to the list or the number of CSAs for some actions increased?Yes, but first we have to see exactly how many CSAs are being earned and how fast the program is growing.  Remember, there is a FINITE supply of CSAs each month; we can’t award more CSAs than we have CSAs to give out.  We need to be a bit conservative to start and see how the program develops during the initial months before we can expand it.

Q: Do actions “stack?”  If I advance from EA, to BTL, to STL, in one month, do I earn CSAs for each action?
Some actions do, yes.  In this example, you’d earn 2 + 1 (total 3) + 1 (total 4) for a total of 4 CSAs for that month if you advanced from EA to STL. However, you couldn’t earn 1 CSA for having a silver-trimmed badge and two more CSAs for having the gold-trimmed version of the SAME badge.
