Aside your referees, you will also earn fees from those above your "compensation tree" . First Vineyard also adds new cardholders into your "compensation tree" so you can earn more.

To qualify for compensation, you first need to get three new cardholders to activate their account. Secondly, you need to achieve a personal group spending volume (PGSV) of $1000. This PGSV includes yourself and two other personal referrals who do not yet qualify for compensation. The more personal active referrals you have, the more members of your compensation tree you'll be qualified to receive compensation on. Below are the levels :
 

• 3 - 4 personal active referrals = compensation up to level 4 (780 people).
• 5 - 9 personal active referrals = compensation up to level 5 (3,905 people).
