Yes, for now. The movement and free MVP are free. Later, after the membership drive is live, upgrades are $10 a month or $100 a year. We set it up this way because we want consumers to become members and begin inviting their friends, so that when we do go live and each member becomes active and paying a membership fee, he or she will also be able to receive $20 credits for each of the members that he or she invited who have transitioned to active status as well.
Better D2C pricing with no middlemen, or when you buy from your favorite retailer, send proof of purchase and get an instant rebate, also get $20 a year for each and every friend you invite once membership is live, get paid directly from vendors for responding to short surveys and focus groups, and receive a share of net revenue for purchasing and other valued activities — all of these are paid as credits you can spend inside the club.
No. Credits are for use inside the club on products and services. Membership dues are paid in dollars, not with credits.
The Freedom Buying Club is led by its Founder and CEO, Eugene A. Fusz. Shortly after the launch of the Membership Drive we plan to set up an Advisory Group of qualified Members.
Big Tech social media collected our personal information to enrich itself and then used that power to censor free speech of those that didn't agree with the Liberal Left. That caused a backlash among patriotic Americans who then began creating a Parallel Economy of free-speech platforms. The Freedom Buying Club is the first online buying site within that movement that was specifically designed to attract vendors to a site offering Free Advertising to Millions of Opt-in Consumers who have their Personal Information protected by Anonymous Profiling Data Sets. This privacy-first approach to advertising will not only serve as a powerful influence on the entire eCommerce Industry, but hopefully also to the broader American culture in the coming years.
The movement is launching now. The free MVP comes next and it will allow you to join, build your anonymous profile, and invite many of your friends before paid membership goes live.This is important because it will make it possible for enthusiastic early adopters to have more credits coming than the cost of their Membership. When new Members see that they can have a lot more money coming in than it costs them, and the word gets out, it will help get the Membership Drive off to an incredible fast start while helping to build something that could revolutionize eCommerce for all Americans.
It's free for now. Interestingly, we expect many new members to stay on the free status while Inviting dozens of their Friends. Then when they decide to activate to a paid membership of $10 a month or $100 a year, they may have 5, 10, or more Referral Fees available as soon as they activate.
Tips and Credits are used interchangeably within the Club. They can be used within the Club just like Cash when Purchasing Products or Services from Vendors or even Alliance Partner Subscription Fees. Your Club Membership Dues are always paid in dollars.
Founding Member Bonuses will be announced to Active Members who have shown extraordinary success in Referring New Members.
Prospective Members must join by invitation. You can use a Referral Link from an Alliance Partner or an existing Member. Create your account with first name, last name, and email, verify email, then create and submit your anonymous profile to the Marketplace and you will receive a Personalized Link so you can begin Inviting Friends, Family, Neighbors, Co-workers and Associates. Referring New Members can be very Rewarding.
A few minutes. First name, last name, email, verify email, then a minute or two of multiple-choice questions for the anonymous profile.
No. No phone number. No name or address on the anonymous profile. Email is for signup and verify only.
When you sign up, you get a personal invite link. Friends who join through it are yours. After paid membership is live, you earn $20 per year for up to 10 years for each invited friend who has an activated paid Membership.
The Freedom Buying Club is by Invitation ONLY. We are encouraging Conservative entrepreneurs and consumers who want to build something revolutionary to Join — We are looking for a few good men and women who care about free speech, privacy, and sovereignty to spur the Club with rapid adoption.
Yes. That is the point of the free MVP. Invite friends now so when membership goes live you may already have referral fees waiting when you activate.
The free MVP is the first step after the movement launch. You join by invitation, verify email, build your anonymous profile, and invite friends. This allows you to invite as many friends as you want and you can see how many of your friends and associates have joined and how many of their friends have joined. All of this community building happens before the Membership Drive is launched and before anyone starts paying dues.
That is when paid membership goes live at $10 a month or $100 a year. We are not announcing a public launch date at this time.
When the Membership Drive is Launched, you will be asked to complete your Personal Account to enable Purchasing, and Receiving Credits including: First name, last name, address, cell number, cell verified, and related account details before receiving Referral Credits for friends you invited and/or purchasing.
After you verify email and submit the anonymous profile. That is when you get your Personal Referral Link in your Member Dashboard.
You start with a simple signup, then create an anonymous profile — age range, sex, education, income range, marital status, zip. Your anonymous profile does not include your name, address, or phone number.Zip code field: 5 numeric digits only.
No. Vendors only see your anonymous profile attributes and NOT your personal info including name, address, or phone. After you have a relationship with a vendor (purchase or instant-rebate request), he or she can send notes to your anonymous profile inbox. You can turn a vendor off.
No. The club is built around anonymous profiles. Marketing stays privacy-first. We did not build this by selling your personal information.
Certainly NOT! You will not receive any unsolicited ads. You are able to set up your Category or Brand preferences for advertising you might want to see, but they do not automatically go into your anonymous inbox. Marketers may not demand to do anything their way. Club rules plus your preferences hold the line.
It lets vendors reach members that might be good prospects — age range, sex, education, income range, marital status, zip — without getting your name, address, or phone. It is also your inbox for only occasional vendor notes after a relationship exists, but even then, the Member can close that down.
In just a minute or two, you can answer a few Multiple Choice Questions: Age range, sex, education, income range, married/single/divorced, and enter your zip code. It is not possible to enter your name, address, phone number or email.Zip code: 5 numeric digits only.
Yes. After a purchase or instant-rebate relationship, a vendor may send notes to your anonymous profile inbox. You can close that down.
The club uses it to create your account and verify it. Vendors do not get your email. They write to your anonymous profile inbox only after a relationship exists.
Yes. Age range, sex, education, income range, marital status, and five-digit zip. You still cannot enter your name, address, phone, or email on that profile.
Yes. Your first line of protection is that there is no personally identifiable data in your Anonymous Profile — vendors get profile attributes, never Personally Identifiable Information. In addition to that, there are two other forms of protection. First, we use standard industry encryption for your Anonymous Profile Data. Second, we provide vendors Zero Knowledge (ZK) Proofs that your Anonymous Profile is not only a real person, but also a Club Member.
You buy the product through the club, or at a favorite retailer, upload your receipt as proof of purchase, and the rebate lands as credits in your club account. The manufacturer pre-funds that rebate.
No. Credits are for use inside the club on products and services. Membership dues are paid in dollars, not with credits.
Tips and Credits are used interchangeably within the Club. They can be used within the Club just like Cash when Purchasing Products or Services from Vendors or even Alliance Partner Subscription Fees. Your Club Membership Dues are always paid in dollars.
Yes. Once Credits land in your club account, you can spend them at any vendor in the club once paid membership allows spending. During the free MVP you can earn credits; spending waits until paid membership.
The vendor pays the instant rebate Credit right into your credit account with your agreement to answer a brief survey in 120 days. That also opens a relationship so the vendor may send a thank-you note or referral incentive note to your anonymous profile inbox — not your personal email.
The club pays the vendor the full price. Example: $50 in credits plus $150 cash, the vendor receives $200.
No. $20 referral amounts land as Credits/Tips you spend inside the club. Members do not cash out to a bank. Alliance partners may ACH after a threshold.
The purchase is between the Vendor and your Anonymous Profile and will be assigned a FBCtrx#abcdefghijklmnop. The vendor selects the Logistics Provider, UPS, FedEx, other TBD. FBC then gives the Logistics Provider the Delivery Instructions.
Returns follow that vendor’s return policy on the product. Read the terms before you buy.
Where the law requires it in your Zip Code as on a normal purchase.
When a vendor offers an out-of-club Instant Rebate on a product, you can upload the receipt as proof of purchase, agree to a brief survey in 90 days or so, and claim it. The Instant Rebate is paid as Tips — in-club purchasing credits you can use on future in-Club purchases. Members cannot cash Tips out to a bank.
Yes. Both during and after the referral period, you can use credits you have earned in The Freedom Buying Club to pay monthly fees or to upgrade to a premium account on a Marketing Alliance Partner’s site. A Marketing Alliance Partner may also offer a slight discount when you use credits to purchase a premium upgrade.
Yes. Ads on The Freedom Buying Club are free for vendors. The club’s primary source of revenue is membership dues, not selling your data or charging for ads. The Freedom Buying Club plans to incentivise Members for viewing a few ads every month in the form of points good for a small share of Net Revenue.
An Alliance Partner is an approved platform, or organization or conservative influencer that refers their followers or their audience to join The Freedom Buying Club. They can earn Referrals Credits of $20/yr for up to 5 years for those members who stay active. New Club Members can use a Referral Link from an Alliance Partner or an existing Member, not both.
