We've just added some powerful new tools to your Genealogy.

You can now:

1. Combine up to six filters to select just about any group of affiliates you can think of.

2. Use our new QuickFilters pulldown menu to select popular groupings. These include:

My Movers (the movers currently listed on your My Movers tab at the SFI homepage)
New PSAs Today
New PSAs in last 10 days
New PSAs in last 30 days
New CSAs Today
New CSAs in last 10 days
New CSAs in last 30 days
EA last month, not yet EA this month
New EAs this month
New Team Leaders this month
Team Leaders
Logins Yesterday
Logins in last 10 days
Inactive > 30 days
Inactive > 60 days
Inactive > 90 days
Inactive 320-365 days (removal soon)

3. Create and save your own custom filters (which you'll be able to add to the pulldown menu soon too).

And there's more to come! We'll be adding additional popular filters to the pulldown menu soon (use the Suggestion Box to suggest ones you'd like to see us add). We're also developing a custom message feature that you can use with any of the filters. For example, let's say that every week you want to send out to your newest EAs a special offer to join your co-op or participate in a contest. You can write up your message, save it, and then associate it with your desired filter(s). So all you'll have to do is select the filter and then click the "Send custom message" button. Done!

Today marks the start of a new era in SFI. Effective immediately, all TripleClicks products and services can now be purchased via our new LocalPay program!

Here's how it works: You can now buy TripleClicks TCurrency from various ECAs around the world. You can then spend your TCurrency on any product or service you want at TripleClicks. When you redeem your TCurrency, you'll earn your VersaPoints and MRP (Member Rewards Points) the same as if you were purchasing with cash or credit card.

Directions:

1. Go to our LocalPay Directory at: http://www.tripleclicks.com/ECA/LocalPay/Directory.php

2. Choose a TCurrency provider in your area.

3. Click on the ECA's name to go to their TConnect page.

4. From the TCurrency tab on their TConnect page, choose a TCurrency amount that you wish to purchase and click the "Buy Now" button.

5. You will immediately receive an email confirmation of your order. Follow the directions in this email to consummate your order with your chosen ECA.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What if there are no LocalPay TCurrency providers in my country?
A: Don't panic. New applications for the LocalPay program are coming in every day. Keep checking the directory daily to see if an ECA in your country has been approved.

Can I patronize a LocalPay ECA from a different country other than my own?
A: Yes, so long as you have a way to pay the ECA, and the ECA is willing to process your order.

Why are there no LocalPay providers in my country?
A: Someone in your country must apply for a license first. You may wish to encourage your local ECAs to apply (apply at: http://www.tripleclicks.com/ECA/LocalPay/ ).

How long will it take to process my order?
A: That depends on you and your chosen ECA. If you get in contact quickly and pay the ECA quickly, you can see an order turned around in an hour or less.

What about Basic LocalPay and SFI Outlet LocalPay?
They're coming next. We hope to have one or both operational by the end of June. Note: You can buy all SFI products (TCredits, IAHBE, etc.) now using TCurrency.

]]> http://news.sfimg.com/index.php?entry=entry130528-121317 2013-05-28T00:00:00Z 2013-05-28T00:00:00Z

On Tuesday, May 28th, we'll be going live with LocalPay orders for TCurrency. That is, starting on Tuesday, so long as there is a funded and licensed TCurrency provider in your country or region, you'll be able to place orders for TripleClicks TCurrency--which you can immediately redeem on any product or service at TripleClicks.

Turnaround time on fulfillment of your TCurrency order will depend on you and your chosen ECA, but if you both act promptly, you should be able to get your TCurrency, VersaPoints, etc. before the end of the month.

Note: If necessary, we can backdate orders for May on request. That is, if your TCurrency transaction doesn't get completed by the end of the month, we can backdate the order for you on request (through the first week of June).

Over the coming days, we will continue the roll-out of the LocalPay program, hopefully making available both "Basic LocalPay" and also the SFI Outlet part of the program by the end of June.]]> http://news.sfimg.com/index.php?entry=entry130524-121511 2013-05-24T00:00:00Z 2013-05-24T00:00:00Z

Check out our new directory of approved LocalPay merchants (so far):

http://www.tripleclicks.com/ECA/LocalPay/Directory.php

You'll also notice we've also added a new little LocalPay info panel to the Growth tab: https://www.sfimg.com/Home?tab=growth

IMPORTANT: Ordering is not operational yet, you cannot make any LocalPay purchases yet.

When CAN you start buying from your LocalPay merchant(s)? Programming for the TCurrency portion of LocalPay is being finished up now and we hope to have it live by May 25th. Be watching for the formal announcement.

Is your country not in the directory? This means we haven't yet received a qualified application. Once we do, upon approval, you'll be able to start patronizing that ECA and earning VersaPoints locally.

See http://news.sfimg.com/index.php?entry=e ... 502-103918 for more information and detailed FAQs on LocalPay.
