What is Localvantia?
Pronounced "Low-cull-VON-tee-uh" and short for
"local advantage," Localvantia (launched on December 5, 2017) is a
division of SFI and is designed to help you earn all your rank-qualifying
VersaPoints each month by simply buying your groceries, fueling up your car, or
dining at your favorite restaurants. The Localvantia website/search engine
seeks to cover essentially ALL merchants with products and services consumed
locally.
Localvantia is our powerful and unique program that lets you enjoy
exclusive benefits, savings, and great rewards (including free VersaPoints,
TCredits, Bitcoin, and more!) simply by shopping at your favorite local
merchants.
Yes, Localvantia means, for example, that you can earn
unlimited FREE VersaPoints while simply going about your day--buying groceries,
dining at local restaurants, fueling up your car, and so on, and with no
additional cost to your budget!
It is not that simple
as it seems, First of all you need to select a store and take a good photograph
of it, upload on your Laptop & send to SFI headquarters for approval with
its co-ordinates that you can get on Google Maps.
Once it is approved by the HQs, you need to approach the owner of
the store, restaurant or Fuel Pump, as the case may be, convince him that the
whole SFI Community would help in advertising his place locally to bring more
customers.
But Localvantia won’t be just grocery stores,
gas stations, and places to eat. On the contrary, Localvantia is designed
to cover essentially ALL merchants with products and services consumed locally.

And, as an SFI Affiliate, you can begin using Localvantia immediately! Simply
visit the RW tab on
your SFI homepage where participating merchants are automatically listed for
you...then start shopping!
Here's how Localvantia works:
Localvantia is fueled by Rewardical digital
rewards tokens. Let's say you regularly visit a Localvantia restaurant in
your area. With each visit, you collect Rewardical Tokens which are
automatically added to your account balance (learn how you receive Rewardicals
from merchants here).
Then, whenever you want, just go to the Rewardical
Exchange and redeem them for VersaPoints (or TCredits, Silver
Bullion, Bitcoin, or whatever goodies you want)!
The Localvantia Merchant Referral program
Localvantia is a terrific program for earning
rank-qualifying VersaPoints, etc. But, as an SFI affiliate,
there's a MUCH bigger opportunity as well. That is, referring
merchants. For each merchant you refer, you can set yourself up
to automatically earn 1 Rewardical for every 10 Rewardicals they
dish out to their customers.
Imagine referring a few dozen of your favorite local businesses.
Not only will you be able to earn unlimited Rewardicals for yourself
shopping at your favorite stores, but you can also earn thousands of additional
Rewardicals each month when those merchants award Rewardicals to
their other customers!
Referring merchants is simple and easy. Just:
1. Visit your
favorite merchant(s).
2. Take a good
picture of their storefront.
3. Go to https://www.sfimg.com/MyAccount/lv_prereg and
fill out the short pre-registration form for the merchant and upload the photo
you took.
4. When you're ready, follow up (get instructions here (https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=230562).
Special Note: You must be an Executive Affiliate to be an Account Manager for pre-registered merchants. Learn more here.
Pre-registering merchants in your area will ensure YOU are
credited for that merchant. That means when your referred merchant officially
signs up with Localvantia and begins awarding Rewardicals to customers, YOU can
be listed as the person who referred them and earn all the associated rewards.
Our pre-registration system also helps your area merchants get
started quickly and easily. So, when you follow up with your pre-registered
merchant, they can simply go to Localvantia.com and find 80% of theirbusiness
listing pre-populated and ready to go. A few quick clicks later, and they can
be off and running, live in the Localvantia.com search engine, attracting new
customers...and earning you Referral Tokens!
COST TO MERCHANTS
Currently, for
grocery stores, gas stations, and automotive businesses, they can participate
for as little as 1/2% ($.005 for each dollar in sales). For all other types of
businesses, the minimum is 1% ($.01 for each dollar in sales). Of course, it is
in the best interests of the merchant to participate at the highest rate that
is feasible for them, as this means a higher number of Rewardicals they’ll be
putting out to attract and retain customers.
Hope it adds to your
