Fees

Future Monthly Fees may be subject to slight changes, based on any devaluation of your local currency to the U.S. Dollar. Should a fee need to be increased, so will the resulting Pay Points. Should a currency increase in value to the U.S. Dollar, the fees will remain the same, but the Pay Points will increase accordingly. In either case, your VIP income is due to currency valuation changes. To determine what the Fees and Pay Points are in each currency, click here.

Paying by Credit Card
Subscription fees are due on the first of each calendar month. Subscription fees are billed between the 1st and the 5th of each month. (If you purchase a DHSC Benefits Program subscription as a VIP on the last day of the month, your first monthly subscription fee will be due on the next day - the first of the next calendar month.) We will charge your account as "The Discount Home Shoppers' Club, Inc."

Paying by Money Order, Bank Check or Personal Check (must be drawn on a U.S. bank)
Subscription fees are due the first of each calendar month. Please include your ID number and mail your fees to DHSC Glocal Income, 2560 Placida Rd., Englewood, FL 34224. You will receive weekly reminders for 6 weeks or until the funds arrive, whichever comes first. After 6 weeks without payment, your subscription and membership will be terminated.

Clubaccount - If you are paying the initial, monthly or annual renewal fees of another VIP or for yourself, you can use your Clubaccount where you can deposit a desired amount of funds which can be used for initial, monthly or annual renewal fees. With your Clubaccount, you are in control of the fees you wish to pay since all transactions are initiated by you.

Go to your VIP Control Center and click on the Clubaccount link listed under the Commissions & Fees links on the right of the page. Deposit money into your account by selecting one of the following methods:

  1. Credit/Debit Card Funding: You initiate the payment and once you receive an email confirmation that the payment has been authorized, you will need to return to your Clubaccount and select the PAY FOR FEES link and then designate the ID number(s) you wish to pay. Funding into the club account from credit cards can only be reversed as a refund to that credit card.

    Note: Use of a ClubAccount to pay for the fees of others is a privilege that can be revoked if we feel that any abuse of the privilege is taking place. If a VIP has at least three 30 day cancellation refunds applied to their ClubAccount in the past 30 days, resulting in a 10% or higher rate of 30 day cancellations, no future Initial Fee vouchers will be allowed, until the rate has dropped below 10% in 30 days.
    You are limited to paying fees on behalf of 5 different VIPs per month. Should you need to pay for more than 5 fees per month, you must be approved as a Fees Transmission Agent. Application available here

  2. AlertPay Funding (International Only): You will need to set up your own account at AlertPay.com before using this option. You initiate the payment at your Clubaccount page and once you receive an email confirmation that the payment has been authorized, you will need to return to your Clubaccount and select the PAY FOR FEES link and then designate the ID number(s) you wish to pay.

  4. EcoCard Funding (International and US): You will need to set up your own account at EcoCard before using this option. Please go to the link below to open an account. You initiate the payment at your Clubaccount page and once you receive an email confirmation that the payment has been authorized, you will need to return to your Clubaccount and select the PAY FOR FEES link and then designate the ID number(s) you wish to pay.

Another way to get fees to DHSC would be to use a:

Fees Transmission Agent: If you are unable to send fees directly to the DHS Club, then you may be able to send them through an approved Transmission Agent. To determine if you have an approved agent in your organization, contact your Chief Director.

Once you pay the applicable fees to an agent, for them to transmit to the DHS Club on your behalf, they are required to follow these rules or procedures:

  • The agent cannot collect more from you than the fees that you are paying.
  • They must provide you with a signed receipt. Do NOT pay fees to an agent unless they provide you with a SIGNED receipt.
  • They must transmit the fees to The DHS club within 72 hours of receiving them.

Should you find that your account was not credited within 96 hours of your making payment to an agent, send a copy of your signed receipt with a statement that includes your name, address, email address and ID number to The DHS Club, Attn: Accounting Dept., 2560 Placida Rd., Englewood, FL 34224 or fax to 941-475-4081.

Personal Check, Bank Check or Money Order (must be drawn on a U.S. bank): Please include your ID number and mail your fees to The DHS Club, 2560 Placida Rd., Englewood, FL 34224. Indicate that the payment is for your Pre-Payment Account. Once our Accounting Dept. receives and deposits your payment (deposits are not done on weekends or holidays.) you will receive an email confirmation that the payment has been authorized, you will need to return to your Pre-Payment Account and select the PAY FOR FEES link and then designate the ID number(s) you wish to pay.

Should you have any questions, please contact our accounting department at: acf1@dhs-club.com


Subscription and VIP Membership Renewals
To see what your Renewal fees are in your country's currency, click here. The month in which your yearly membership renewal is due, is the month that we will charge the fee. All Renewal Notifications are sent the month they have been charged.

Those VIPs with referral fee deductions will also incur their renewal fee, which will be reflected on their referral fee report.


If You Receive a Notice that Your Monthly Fees are Unpaid and...

You Pay by Credit Card:
These fees are automatically reprocessed weekly and you will be notified if the subscription fee remains unauthorized.

You Pay by Money Order:
Please be sure to mail your subscription fees so that we receive them by the first of each month. You will receive weekly reminders for 6 weeks or until the funds arrive, whichever comes first.

If your genealogy report reflects a VIP in red, this means that we have not collected their monthly subscription fees. Due to confidentiality, we cannot specifically state why their fee is unpaid. The DHS Club suggests you contact them to keep the lines of communication open.
