How does HOHY Club generate income to support all its activities?
HOHY Club generates income from the $30 membership fees and applicable re-entry fees paid by GMs and FMs.
When a GM refers a new GM or FM, the GM receives 50% of the applicable $30 membership fee, or $15, as a referral commission. The remaining 50% is allocated as follows: 40% to GM Award, Benefit, and Community Programs, and 10% to HOHY Club operations and staff expenses.
When an FM refers a new GM or FM, the FM receives 75% of the applicable $30 membership fee, or $22.50, as a referral commission. The remaining 25% is allocated as follows: 15% to FM Award, Benefit, and Community Programs, and 10% to HOHY Club operations and staff expenses.

❓ FAQ: Membership Types
What are the different membership types?
Priority Member (PM): Eligible individuals may apply without an upfront membership fee. A PM is automatically upgraded to GM after earning $30 in qualifying referral commissions, or may become a GM by paying the one-time $30 membership fee.
Gold Member (GM): Earn referral income and qualify for GM Award, Benefit, and Community Programs.
1-Star to 9-Star Gold Member (Star GM): Eligible GMs who place in the Top 10 of qualifying GM Award, Benefit, Community, or Voting Programs may receive a GM Star, subject to the applicable program rules. Each GM Star adds 100 re-entries, up to a maximum of 1,000 re-entries for a 9-Star GM.
Fundraiser Member (FM-): A Fundraiser Member (FM-) is an organization that has enrolled but has not yet accumulated sufficient referral commissions for the initial $30 membership fee to be deducted. Once sufficient referral commissions are available, the $30 membership fee is automatically deducted and the account is upgraded from FM- to FM. No additional action is required from the organization.
Fundraiser Member (FM): Raise funds for your approved organization, earn 75% commissions from qualified direct referrals, and qualify for FM Awards, Benefits, and Community Programs.

How does the referral system work?
How does the re-entry system work?
An eligible GM completes a membership cycle when 10 qualified new or re-entry GM/FM memberships are credited to the cycle. The GM earns $150, from which the $30 re-entry fee is deducted when the next membership cycle begins. The GM may repeat the process according to the applicable re-entry limit. A GM may have up to 100 re-entries, while a qualifying 9-Star GM and FM may have up to 1,000 re-entries.
An FM earns $225 for completing a 10-member re-entry cycle, from which the $30 re-entry fee is deducted when the next cycle begins.

How does HOHY Club prevent members from using invalid PM accounts to unfairly increase Achievement Points?
HOHY Club employs several measures to prevent members from using fraudulent or invalid PM accounts to gain Achievement Points, including:
- PM cell phone or email authentication is required for new PM sign-ups.
- If a PM signs up and remains inactive for 30 days, HOHY Club will cancel the membership and debit the referring GM 1 Achievement Point.
- HOHY Club software includes methods for detecting potentially fraudulent PM accounts.
- HOHY Club staff will monitor for abnormal activities among the top leaders.
- Any GM proven to use fraudulent PM accounts to gain Achievement Points may face suspension or termination of membership.
What is the difference between an Award Program and a Benefit Program?
GM Award Programs are open to eligible GMs and do not require enrollment. Winners are determined according to the applicable Award Program rules.
GM Benefit Programs have limited participation and require eligible members to enroll. For example, if a Benefit Program offers 100 prizes, HOHY Club may allow up to 300 qualified members to enroll, subject to the applicable program rules.
How do I indicate that I qualify for a GM Benefit Program?
The member indicates the applicable qualification status through the designated HOHY Club enrollment or dashboard process.
HOHY Club generally does not require or verify supporting documents at the time of enrollment.
For example, when enrolling in the Baby Care Benefit Program, you must provide the required information about your eligible child, including the child's name and date of birth. If the information you provide meets the program requirements, you may receive an enrollment number.
Does HOHY Club verify my qualification before I enroll in a GM Benefit Program?
Generally, no. HOHY Club normally permits members to declare their qualification under the honor system, subject to the applicable program rules.
However, certain programs require supporting documentation before a benefit can be issued. If you become a potential winner of one of these programs, HOHY Club may require documentation to verify your eligibility.
For example, a potential winner of the Baby Care Benefit Program may be required to provide a copy of the child's birth certificate to verify the child's age and eligibility before the benefit is issued.
Programs that do not require eligibility documentation will follow their applicable program rules.
When may HOHY Club require verification documents?
HOHY Club may require supporting documentation when eligibility or a benefit amount depends on a particular qualification and may verify qualification before issuing a benefit. Scholarship Programs require the applicable academic documentation.
