Herbalife has two different kinds of Members: Preferred Members use the products for personal consumption and purchase at a discount, while Herbalife Independent Distributors not only use the products for personal consumption, but also have the opportunity to sell products to customers, and work the Herbalife business opportunity. Until December 31, 2016, current Members may select to become a Charter Preferred Member (CPM).
Charter Preferred Members solely want to purchase Herbalife® products for their own personal consumption and are able to purchase at a discount. A Charter Preferred Member cannot sell the products, sponsor anyone into the business or receive multi-level marketing compensation under the Herbalife Sales & Marketing Plan. For a limited time only, an existing Member can become a Charter Preferred Member as long as he/she takes action before December 31, 2016.
Benefits include:
• New product previews, special promotions to support your product results, special product-focused communications, education and support• Product purchases subject to sales tax on your actual purchase price after discount instead of the product’s Suggested Retail Price• Exclusive access to the Herbalife Advantage Program (HAP), which allows you to set up an order to automatically receive products each month• No required training or meetings• Access to MyHerbalife.com to order products
A Charter Preferred Member will maintain his/her Charter Preferred Member status as long as he/she purchases 500 Volume Points (VP) of products for consumption annually. Charter Preferred Members who maintain their status do not need to requalify to maintain his/her discount level and will not be required to pay an Annual Membership Services Fee.

Members who convert to become a Charter Preferred Member will keep their current discount, but can achieve higher discount levels as outlined below:• Members at 50% remain at 50%• Members at 42% may acquire a maximum 50% discount by accumulating personal product purchases of 4,000 Volume Points in a consecutive 12-month period• Members at 25% and 35% may acquire a maximum 42% discount by their personal product purchases as set forth below:1.

Conversion to Distributor
If, in the future, you decide to pursue the Herbalife business opportunity and wish to sell the products and sponsor others, you may convert back to Distributor status at any time at no cost. If you moved up to a higher discount as a Charter Preferred Member, you will maintain thatdiscount only for personal consumption purchases.
Purchases for retail sales will be at the same discount level you had when you originally converted from Distributor to Charter Preferred Member.
