WHEN IS THE DREAMWORK INCENTIVE QUALIFICATION PERIOD?

The incentive qualification period starts Dec. 1, 2024, at 12 am MT and ends March 31, 2025, at 11:59 pm MT.

WHAT CAN I EARN DURING THE DREAMWORK INCENTIVE?

We have some amazing prizes lined up! Check out the Dream graphic at the top of this page to determine what prizes are connected to each Dream.

Please note that prizes listed for each Dream are the exact prizes that will be given. For example, Dream 5 earners will receive a $350 Product Pack, but Dream 6 earners will not because they earn the stay in Costa Rica (or a $600 Product Pack if they opt out or cannot make the trip).

WHO CAN EARN A DREAM TIER?

Brand Ambassadors 18 years and older can earn a Dream prize.

IS THE DREAMWORK INCENTIVE PERIOD CUMULATIVE?

Yes, the period is cumulative, meaning that you get to keep a running total of your points throughout the period. For example, let’s say you earn 100 Personal Volume (PV) in December, 800 PV in January, and 100 PV in February. That means you'll have 1,000 PV total.

The same is true for your Personal Enrollments (PE). If you sponsor someone in December, their total PV during the period counts toward their PV requirement. 

LET’S TALK ABOUT PERSONAL VOLUME (PV) AS IT RELATES TO POINTS. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

  • 1 point (500 PV) must come from PV for Dreams 1-3.
  • 3 points (1,500 PV) must come from PV for Dreams 4-5.
  • 6 points (3,000 PV) must come from PV for Dreams 6 and above.
  • You may only earn a maximum of 100 points through PV.

LET’S TALK ABOUT QUALIFIED DOWNLINE VOLUME (DV) AS IT RELATES TO POINTS. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

  • Qualified Downline Volume (DV) does not kick into place until you have an active leg on your team.
  • No more than 50% of your DV can come from any one individual or one leg of your team (including yourself).
  • You may only earn a maximum of 50 points through DV.

LET’S TALK ABOUT PERSONAL ENROLLMENTS (PE) AS IT RELATES TO POINTS. WHAT DO I NEED TO KNOW?

Great question! Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • The PE must be a first-time enrollee. Reinstatements of any kind do not count, regardless of if they are reinstating on your team, or are reinstating and were previously on another team.
  • The PE must be enrolled during the qualification period AND earn the required PV during this same time period.
  • Affiliate upgrades count toward PE qualifications as long as they upgrade during the qualification period AND hit the required PV benchmarks AFTER they upgrade their account. PV earned as an affiliate prior to upgrading does NOT count toward PV requirements.
  • There is no maximum on PE points.

HOW CAN I TRACK MY INCENTIVE POINT PROGRESS? HOW CAN I TRACK MY TEAM’S PROGRESS?

You can see a running report in your Hub* with your progress and your team’s progress. You can also use our points tracker here (available Dec. 3). A couple of things to consider as you calculate your points:

  • 1 point (500 PV) must come from PV for Dreams 1-3.
  • 3 points (1,500 PV) must come from PV for Dreams 4-5.
  • 6 points (3,000 PV) must come from PV for Dreams 6 and above.
  • Personal Enrollments (PE) must enroll and earn PV during the qualification period. They also must be enrolling for the first time. Affiliate upgrades count toward PE points.
  • A maximum of 50% of DV can come from one active leg or the individual Brand Ambassador. Be sure you are checking your Downline Volume bar which appears when you toggle to higher level Director titles in the Hub.
  • PE and DV points are counted in whole numbers only. Fractional points from PV are not rounded up.

*Please note that Hub reports update roughly every 3 hours and are NOT instantaneous!

I WANT TO SET A GOAL FOR THE INCENTIVE AND WORK TOWARD IT. DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS?

Totally! Our best advice? Save the worksheet above to your phone, then fill it out in a photo editor. Save the completed worksheet to your phone screensaver so it’s top of mind, and send it to your Director or a partner to help hold yourself accountable.

HOW WILL I BE NOTIFIED IF I EARN A DREAM PRIZE?

All Dreamwork earners will be notified via email that they have earned a Dream. We are currently working on the most efficient and user friendly method for you to redeem your hard earned prize. As soon as we have the best solution, we will let you know. Check back for updates!

DO DREAMWORK QUALIFICATIONS CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR?

Yes! New qualifications will be announced at the beginning of the qualification period.

WHAT PRIZES ARE INCLUDED FOR DREAMS 1-5? 

You can earn exclusive prizes by earning points during the Dreamwork Incentive, which runs from Dec. 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025. You earn points through your Personal Volume (PV), qualified Downline Volume (DV), and qualified Personal Enrollments (PE). Check out the Dream Map to see the prizes for each Dream.

I EARNED A DREAM PRIZE. HOW DO I REDEEM THAT PRIZE?

Congrats! We are currently working on the most efficient and user friendly method for you to redeem your hard earned prize. As soon as we have the best solution, we will let you know. Check back for updates!

FOR DREAMS 4 and above, DO I GET TO CHOOSE WHAT’S INCLUDED IN MY PRODUCT PACK?

No. The Treehouse has curated the Product Packs and chosen what is included.

I EARNED DREAM 6. WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Congratulations - YOU ARE AMAZING! We will have a rolling 2-part registration that starts Feb. 3. The first step to register is confirming you are coming on the trip! If you are not able to make it, we will send you a $600 Product Pack in mid-April.

The second step in registration is getting us your emergency contact, passport information, and flight details.  If we do not have these by April 25, 2025, we will issue you a Product Pack and remove you from the trip manifest. We are not able to extend registration beyond April 25, 2025; this is a hard deadline. With that in mind, please make sure you prioritize getting these details to us as we want you on the trip!

WHAT ARE THE TRIP DATES?

The trip dates are June 8-12, 2025.

I EARNED DREAM 7. WHAT IF I DON’T WANT AN UPGRADED ROOM? IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT I CAN GET? 

Nope! You must let yourself be pampered.

I EARNED DREAM 7 WHICH INCLUDES A POOL-VIEW ROOM. DOES MY ROOMMATE ALSO HAVE TO EARN DREAM 7 TO STAY WITH ME?

Congratulations! Best news - no they do not. Your roommate of choice can stay with you, and enjoy the pool view, as well.

I EARNED DREAM 8 WITH A PRIVATE ROOM. WHAT IF I REALLY WANT A ROOMMATE TO SHARE IN THE FUN WITH ME?

Email events@redaspen.com, and we'll see what we can do!

WHAT IS THE INTENTION OF THE DREAMWORK TRIP?

The intention of the Dreamwork Incentive trip is first to celebrate you and your achievements, and second to promote engagement with one another and the Red Aspen community. With that in mind, we ask that you do not book additional guests at the hotel during the incentive trip. This time is designed for all of us to spend together! 

HOW DO I EARN THE DREAMWORK ACTIVATE STAGES 1, 2, AND 3?

Great question: 

  • To earn Activate Stage  1, you must earn 200 qualified points in the qualification period. 
  • To earn Activate Stage 2, you must earn 250 qualified points in the qualification period.
  • To earn Activate Stage 3, you must earn 300 qualified points in the qualification period.

CAN I EARN ALL THREE ACTIVATE STAGES?

No. Like all Dreamwork prizes, Activate prizes are not cumulative. You will be paid at the highest Activate Stage earned at the completion of the Dreamwork Incentive.

I EARNED DREAM 8; CAN I STILL WORK TOWARDS ACTIVATE TIERS 1-3?

Absolutely! Keep working hard. Once you reach Dream 8, you can still earn Activate. Review Activate qualifications, make a plan, and keep up the hard work!

CAN I EARN THE BONUSES IN CONJUNCTION WITH OTHER PROMOTIONAL BONUSES OFFERED AT RED ASPEN?
