A system and method for providing distributions to members of an association based on members' purchases under affinity programs. In response to affinity program purchases by its members, the association receives a membership marketing fee or license fee which the association uses to pay a distribution to the purchasing members, payable after a holding period. The affinity program purchases may be made directly by association members, or through an intermediary who pays the royalty fee to the association based, for example, on a commission received from the supplier by the intermediary. A variety of goods and services can be provided under the affinity programs. The association also provides educational programs to its members. |
