Power Bite # 26 – The most IMPORTANT Gift Cards!
Hello MPM Member,
Make commissions for EVERYDAY purchases – including:
Groceries
Gas
Utility Bills
Car Maintenance
Toiletries
Entertainment
Travel
It's very simple. You buy either VISA or American Express Gift Cards and then use them exactly like a 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!
Quite frankly, you will make more money with the American Express Card so if you live in an area that accepts them, make that your choice. Many of us have been using American Express for several years and find that more than 99% of the places we frequent accept them. If you live in a more rural area that primarily accepts VISA cards, make that your choice. You will still make money and you will identify yourself as a POWER SHOPPER!
What we’re most excited about is, by purchasing a Gift Card in your MPM Mall and receiving a commission on it, you can then use it to shop at any store you want to for groceries and gas. Before, you made no money when paying your bills – now you can, because of the commissions earned when purchasing a Gift Card. It's going to be so much fun to pay for groceries, go online to pay your phone bill, fill up your gas tank, and pay for your meals out - knowing that you’re putting money into the MPM PayPlan and building yet another amazing stream of income with your business!
Please understand that it is the purchasing of the Gift Card that generates the commissions -- not buying items with it.
Think about it... Your My Power Mall business pays you in 3 ways:
1 - Commissions from shopping in your Online My Power Mall!
2 - Team Pay from other World Changers!
3 - Commissions from EVERY purchase of a 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:
- No annual credit card fees
- You can buy Gift Cards with a credit card that offers rewards if you have one, and increase your benefits. For instance, you can buy them with your 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 a Credit Card card for: Groceries, Gas, Utilities, Entertainment, Travel, etc.
Remember - you will make your commission when you purchase your AMEX Gift 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!

Be a Wise Shopper
We want to encourage all of you to become wise consumers. You may be used to buying from K-Mart, but they only pay 1.4% on your Power Mall. There is very little (if anything) they have that you can’t buy from another store on the Mall and receive a much higher percentage rebate. We’re doing all we can to point you toward the great deals in our stores that pay the highest percentage, but become a detective yourself and make the most for yourselves in the process!
Taxes & Shipping
You will find many stores that don’t make you pay taxes on your online purchases but that is not always the case and will probably change in time as the IRS figures out how to do it. You will also find many stores that offer FREE shipping – though not all do.
We help you by listing stores that offer free shipping for limited periods so you can take advantage of it. Look under Specialty Stores on your Mall and click on Free Shipping Stores. With the price of gas being what it is, very often the price of shipping (if they charge it) is less than what you would spend driving to the store – especially once you factor in the value of your time!
Happy shopping and business building.
We believe in you!

Shopping Tip: Remember NOT to bookmark a store in your Mall for later use. This bypasses the tracking information that must be included when making purchases. And it will result in you not earning commissions from your purchase.
Business Building Tip: Make a purchase (it can be a 99 cent Apple iTune!) and get your copy of 101 Ways to Promote My Power Mall which is a compilation of 106 ideas submitted by MPM leaders who have given away a minimum of 10 malls. These are all ideas they are using to build their own business! You will need the Order # from your purchase.
Change the World Tip: Help sort and fold clothing. Your local emergency shelters always need help. Find out if you can donate some time once per month sorting and folding clothing or food. And if you have older children who can help, bring them along. It's good for them to learn about helping and giving to others while they're still young. (From our 101 Ways Women Can Change the World ebook)
"The person with a fixed goal, a clear picture of his desire, or an ideal always before
him, causes it, through repetition, to be buried deeply in his subconscious mind and is
thus enabled, thanks to its generative and sustaining power, to realize his goal in a
minimum of time and with a minimum of physical effort. Just pursue the thought
unceasingly. Step by step you will achieve realization, for all your faculties and powers
become directed to that end." ~Claude M. Bristol
