What is the AUTOship™ program?
AUTOship™ is a unique consumer program that can help you own your dream car at a great savings. Through the program, you register as a product consumer. Then, you buy featured products (the types of products that you are already using) and help "spread the word" about the program. Through your participation as a consumer, you can get valuable points to pay for the car of your choice.
A major U.S. manufacturer is dying to spread the word about their line of high-quality home and personal care products. They feel that word of mouth is the best form of advertising. So they are offering you the opportunity to get a new car as a reward for your participation. In a nutshell, you use some of their branded products, spread the word about the program, and they reward you.
How much does it cost to participate?
In most cases, the AUTOship™ program really costs you very little or nothing. Most households are already buying the kinds of products featured in the program. Some of these product categories include facial and skin care, body and spa, hair care, teas and gourmet foods, weight management, dietary supplements, high energy beverages and bars, vitamins, protein and fiber drinks, healthy juices, herbal concentrates, and even pet and animal nutrition. Most consumers are already spending $200-$400 a month on these types of products. When you register as an AUTOship™ consumer, you simply replace some of the products that you are already buying with the featured brand. You simply "re-direct" about $150 that you are already spending each month. This opens the door to getting your new car.
Can I really choose any car I want?
As a qualified participant, there is no limit on the kind of car you choose. You can select virtually any make or model, including both new and used cars. You can arrange for your purchase through a local dealer of your choice, through an Internet car dealer, or even through a private party.
How long does it take to get my new car?
The time required to get your new car depends on two things: (a) The make and model of car that you choose. You'll want to have enough Auto-Points to cover your monthly car payment. If the payment is small, this can happen quite fast. If you choose an expensive car, then it may take a few more weeks to get enough Auto-Points. (b) It also depends on how fast you spread the word about AUTOship™. The product manufacturer rewards you for helping to spread the word about the program. The more people you tell, the faster your "pool" can grow. You can begin to get Auto-Points within a week. As you and others in your pool spread the word, your benefits can steadily grow until you have your dream car.
Does the AUTOship™ program really work?
Absolutely! Today, over 4,500 drivers get enough cash benefits from the program to cover all (or, in some case, most) of their car payment every month. Some participants actually earn enough Auto-Points to cover two and three cars. The AUTOship™ program works for every popular make and model, as well as virtually all luxury, high-performance, and off-road vehicles.
Through the AUTOship™ program, you earn Auto-Points that are converted to cash. Each point is worth $1.00. At least once each month, your Auto-Points are converted to cash. A check is sent directly to you. Your Auto-Points are based on the amount of products ordered by drivers who are in your pool (linked, either directly or indirectly, to you). The more you "spread the word," the more your pool can grow.
How do I get a car for $147 a month?
As a qualified AUTOship™ participant, you can actually have your car payment fully covered. The figure $147 is the average amount of featured consumer products that most participants consume each month. So, if you car payment is fully covered, your only out-of-pocket cost is for your products. However, keep in mind that as your Auto-Point benefits grow, the cost of product can also be fully covered. This means that you can actually have both your car and the products at no cost. You could even make a profit (see Auto Tycoon™).
Are the consumer products good quality?
All products featured in connection with the AUTOship™ program are of extremely high quality. The major manufacturer of these products has millions of satisfied customers around the world. Many of the personal products are "high end" items, similar to those featured in upscale department stores. You will not find any "junk" of any kind in this program.
IPC stands for Independent Product Consumer. When you participate in the AUTOship™ program, you register as an IPC and get an account number. This registration makes you eligible as a consumer to participate in the program and to receive the described benefits. As an IPC, you can also be an "authorized dealership liaison." This simply means that you act as a "go-between" or assistant with your contacts by going with them to visit a dealership. In other words, you encourage and support them as they begin the fun activity of finding their own dream car.
Do I have to sell cars or products?
No. There is no selling of any kind involved with the AUTOship™ program. You don't have to be an expert about cars (or, for that matter, know anything at all about them). You order products to consume in your own home. When you help spread the word about the program, you are simply an informal advocate of a great program that you love. Everyone likes to talk about cars. And everyone loves to get a good deal. What could be more exciting than going shopping for a new car?
Choose your dream car! Don't buy yet. You don't need to make any commitment to purchase a car. Just find the car you want. Test drive it. Get a good idea in your mind of the vehicle you plan to own. If possible, invite the person who introduced you to the program to go with you to see your dream car. If you already own a car that you're happy with, you can also earn Auto-Points to cover your existing car payment.
How do I register for the AUTOship™ program?
Once you have a good idea of the car you want, simply call our special toll-free number and register as an IPC. When you call, just say, "I want to register as an IPC on AUTOship!" It's that easy. A customer service agent will guide you through the process and can even help you choose products. You can get the toll-free telephone number from your contact person, or you can request it by clicking the "Email" button (lower left of your screen).
What is the best way to be successful?
Have fun! What could be more exciting that getting a new car? Go to a dealership and look at cars. Sit in them. Test drive them. Let your imagination go wild as you make plans to own the vehicle of your dreams. Tell everyone you know about the program. Use the ready resources under Downloads on this web site to help spread the word. Use the Road Rally game sheet. Get your own free AUTOship™ web site and order a "demo" web site for your contacts. Go with your friends and other contacts to a dealership to see their dream car and share in the excitement.
Can I get a free personalized version of this web site?
Yes. As a qualified AUTOship™ participant, you can order a free personalized version of this web site. This costs you nothing and can be a great way to spread the word. Just complete the short online form (found under Downloads). You need a working email address so that inquiries generated from your web site can be sent directly to you. For a very small fee (to help cover setup costs), you can also order a personalized "demo" web site that features the name of your friend or contact before they have registered as an IPC. This is also a great way to spread the word and get them excited.
The Road Rally game sheet (found under Downloads) is a valuable one-page form that helps you track the growth of your "pool" of participants. You simply write in the names of your contacts when they register as an IPC. When you complete the sheet, you can send in the information for a free gift! The Road Rally game sheet can be an important help in getting your new car. It helps you clearly see your progress.
Can my friend and I be partners in the program?
If you and another person want to share product orders and benefits, you can register with a "co-applicant" in the program. One of you will need to act as the main IPC. How you share product orders and Auto-Points is a private deal between you and your partner.
Do I have to use my cash benefits for a car?
The AUTOship™ program is designed to help you earn Auto-Points so that you can drive your dream car at a huge saving, but you are not limited to using your cash benefits for car expenses. In fact, as you spread the word and your pool of participants grows, you may find that your cash benefits far exceed your car payment. This "extra money" is yours to keep, and you can use it for anything you want. See the Auto Tycoon™ page.
