Frequently Asked Questions - A work in progress!
How do I join The Shining Stars Community?
This is by invitation only. If you’ve been invited — congratulations! You’re about to be part of something truly special.
I signed up for Option 2, but I'd like to update to Option 1 ... What can I do?
1.) - Go to the JOT form: Shining Stars Community Placement Form for New Members Only
2.) - Fill in the form EXACTLY as requested.
3.) - Select OPTION 1
4.) - Beside your name -and- VERY IMPORTANT ... add - in brackets - (AMENDMENT@gmail.com) ..... the "@gmail" shows up in blue making it easier for Shoba to notice.
What's the difference between Option 1 and Option 2?
If you choose Option 1, the cost is 135 USDT (BEP20) or $145 USD via Credit/Debit card, and you’re placed immediately into the matrix. (This is the fee associated with being an Ambassador and its subsequent advantages.)
If you choose Option 2, there’s no upfront cost—but you’ll be added to a waitlist, and your spot will only be activated once someone pays it forward and covers your entry. (You will NOT start earning until your Ambassador fees are covered either by yourself, or someone else.)
Your position in the Matrix is time-stamped either way regardless of whether you choose Option 1 or Option 2. (This IS important!)
How much does it cost to join on Option 1?
• If paying via crypto: $135 USDT (BEP20)
• If paying by card: $145 USD
This is a one-time-only payment — no monthly fees or auto-ship!
What does "PIF" stand for?
It stands for "Pay It Forward". It's how we, as a community, help anyone who is struggling to make ends meet. There are associative fees which need to first be paid before anyone on "Option 2 / List 2" can begin to "make money". Someone, within the community has kindly agreed that, when they get to a certain income level, they will pay this fee thus moving someone from Option 2 to Option 1 - The Ambassador Level - which comes with numerous perks.
Please note ... If you are part of the Option 2 list, and you find yourself in a position to be able afford to "Self-fund" (Option 1), it is to your financial benefit to do so as you will start to enjoy the financial benefits sooner rather than later. Let's reserve the Option 2 - PIF list for those most in need.
Why should I "PIF" for 5 people at Level 3 and another 5 ar Level 4?
As a "PIF-er" you play an extremely important role within the community. This show of kindness and generosity is a win for the person benefitting and, ultimately, for you. Without "PIF-ers", the community's (financial) growth would be far less and beneficial only to a select few. As it is, this system benefits the greatest number of people in the shortest amount of time. Win-Win for all.
How do "PIF's" benefit us?
"PIF's" grow our community that much faster. Truly, it is a Win-Win situation for all concerned. We "PIF" from our profits - NOT from our pockets. With the way the system is set up, on the surface it appears that you are paying the full Ambassador fee of $135.00 when you PIF someone but that is not the case. With each new member you receive $100.00 so - for very little money - you are making a HUGE difference in the life who has been struggling with financial hardships.
With each new member our climb up the matrix works to our benefit. Not only do we earn more with each new level - each new step, but we also benefit from shopping bonuses and matching bonuses as well.
Why should I PIF for 10 people before withdrawing my earnings?
PIF plays a key role in our mission. Without these contributions, we wouldn’t rise through the matrix as quickly or build such a powerful community.
For every person you PIF, you help
someone take a step toward financial freedom.
What are the other benefits of the PIF system?
The benefits are significant:
• Your matrix grows faster
• You PIF using profits, not your own money
• You receive $100 for each new member
• More members = bigger shopping bonuses and matching bonuses
• Once you reach Step 6, you earn from every member who joins under you
• The shopping rewards alone will be mind-blowing!
How much can I earn?
For compliance reasons, we can’t make income guarantees. Your earnings depend - to some degree - on the efforts and growth of The Shining Stars Community which is why supporting the PIF system is crucial — the faster the team
grows, the faster everyone earns.
At the time of this post, we are awaiting further updates on potential income streams.
How do we earn from the upgrades, how do they work, where does the $100 come from?
The $100 comes from each person in your matrix, per month. As your personal matrix grows, each person will pay an upgrade fee to qualify for their next level and this continues on up. It is these monthly upgrades, that generate your commissions.
When can I withdraw my funds?
You have a moral obligation to NOT
withdraw these funds until after your 10 PIFs have been introduced.
Does a member have to get a wallet?
At the time of this post, funds will be placed in your wallet which can be found in your Des Alpes back office. From there, you will be able to transfer your funds to your personal crypto wallet or your virtual debit card. An actual (physical) card is planned for the future. (Details are currently being worked out.)
Is this a pyramid scheme?
Pyramid schemes are illegal. This is not one. You’ll find real pyramids in Egypt — or in traditional corporate structures where "those at the the top" earn the most, and those working the hardest earn the least or, so it seems!
Here, within The Shining Stars Community, everyone has an opportunity to benefit — and fast.
Do I have to sell products?
The answer is "No" ... but ... we expect you will want to be buying from our Shopping Mall!
We have an incredible shopping mall coming soon. You’ll be able to
purchase high-quality goods and have them delivered safely — just like any online store. Plus, you’ll earn cashback on all purchases!
There are expected to be further, yet-to-be-revealed incentives to encourage us to "shop at home". 😊
Is Des Alpes a legacy company that, when a member passes away their account can be left to another in their will?
Yes, your account is willable. In the event of your passing, Des Alpes simply requires
notification along with a copy of your will that clearly states who the account should be transferred to.
How does the pay plan for the online shopping Mall work?
The pay plan in the Store/Shopping Mall hasn't been released yet and will follow in Phase 2, shortly after we launch.
Do I have to recruit?
We are NOT in the recruiting business. We invite our friends and family to join. We invite those people who are motivated to improve their financial circumstances. If you are not comfortable doing this, we understand. However it has been our experience that once you feel "comfortable" - once you realize just how supportive the community is and that your financial situation is improving - it becomes far easier to invite people. You are excited to share your good fortune as a member of The Shining Stars Community.
Can a husband and a wife join separately? How about other family members over the age of 18?
“Yes! Your spouse and other family members (18+) can definitely join separately—just be sure to use different GMAIL email addresses.
The KYC process - which stands for Know Your Customer, is a verification process used by businesses, particularly in the financial industry, to confirm the identity of their customers. This process helps prevent illegal activities like fraud, money laundering, and terrorist financing. - (due once we launch and create our Des Ales account) would need to be unique (and verifiable) for each family member.
What is a POC (Point of Contact)?
Your point of contact (POC) is the member who introduced you to this opportunity.
They are responsible for helping you get connected into the Community.
It’s up to you however to stay engaged, connected, and up to date as we move forward.
