Products & Services

At your VIP Control Center are a series of link buttons to the left that are your "gateway " to savings. As the DHS Club continues to grow, two things happen to help all of our Members save even more money:

  1. As a VIP you are able to sign up offline ClubBucks Merchant Affiliates ( local stores and businesses to accept the ClubBucks Rewards Card) and get paid for every purchase made with them by a DHS Club Member! So as we gain more VIPs from around the world, we gain more Merchants to be able to shop and do business with and gain Pay Points and Reward Points.


  2. As we gain more Members globally and in a given locality, our Group Buying Power increases and provides prospective Merchants with a greater motivation to participate as an approved Merchant Affiliate. It also provides approved Merchant Affiliates with a greater motivation to increase the commission to the DHS Club on purchases made by our Members, which in turn is passed on to you as increases in Reward Points, Referral Fees and Pay Points.
Become Your First and Your Best Customer

Whenever you use your DHS Club Membership and ClubBucks Rewards card to shop, you earn Reward Points and Pay Points on your purchases. But as you can see, you also help to increase our Group Buying Power, which also helps your business! So it only makes sense to shop with and support our participating Merchants.

Look at all the ways you can save money as a VIP:

Our ClubBucks Rewards card program was launched in 2003 to enable our Members to shop offline with participating Merchants and earn Reward Points.

You have two assignments to complete for this part of the lesson:

Lesson Assignment
  1. Click on the ClubBucks logo and view the Merchant Directory to see if you have any participating Merchants close to where you live. If you do, make sure to do business with these Merchants to earn Reward Points and Pay Points on your purchases. If you have very few or no Merchants listed where you live, get excited! This means that you have an incredible ground floor opportunity to sign up stores and businesses where you live to accept the ClubBucks Rewards card and earn Pay Points from any Member purchases made with the Merchants you sign up. Marketing Courses are available to you as a ClubAdvantage subscriber to teach you how to market the ClubBucks Rewards program where you live.


  2. Go back to your VIP Control Center and click on the ClubBucks link to the right and select the "Quick Print" option and print out a temporary ClubBucks card for yourself.

Do not proceed until you have completed these two assignments.

Online shopping is increasing every year as more and more people see the benefits of not having to take the time and pay for the gas to shop offline. Many online Merchants offer free shipping and specials and when you factor in your Reward Points and Pay Points earnings and the time and money you can save, shopping online with participating Merchants makes a lot of sense.

You have three assignments to complete for this part of the lesson:
Lesson Assignment
  1. Click on the ClubShop Mall logo and browse the 200+ U.S. store list and 100+ international store list in our ClubShop Mall, and familiarize yourself with the wide variety of products and services that are offered through the Mall.


  2. Return to the Mall Home Page and click on the Help Desk link and read the Shopping Instructions and FAQ's.


  3. While there, click on the Business Marketing Tools link to the left on the VIP Control Center Page and check out the great deal on Business Cards from Vista Print. A 250 card order is free, except for the shipping and you earn Reward Points and Pay Points on your order! Make sure to follow the Shopping Instructions to ensure that you get the credit for your order.
