To qualify for the annual Diamond Bonus, a Platinum IBO must personally or foster sponsor 6 x 21% groups in his own market, each of which qualifies at the 21% Performance Bonus level during at least 6 months of the performance year.
The Diamond Bonus is paid out of a fund consisting of 1/4 of 1% of all qualified BV downlines from all qualified Diamond IBOs in the market (including 1/4 of 1% of all AMWAY foreign subsidiary qualified volume traceable to Australia or New Zealand sponsorship, provided that volume is only one country removed from the market).
The fund is distributed to eligible participants in accordance with the same formula employed for the calculation of the Emerald Bonus. The Diamond IBO who personally or foster sponsors at least 7 x 21% groups, each of which qualifies at the 21% Performance Bonus level during 6 months out of the performance year can also share in the Diamond Plus Bonus Fund.
