As announced in August, we’ve made
several exciting updates to the Commercial Program. Some of your commercial
accounts may notice changes once the new year begins, so here’s a quick review
of the new program.
Free
Shipping
Commercial accounts receive free
shipping for orders totaling $350 ($450 Can.) or more. If the order total is
less than $350 ($450 Can.), a flat shipping rate of $11.99 ($13.99 Can.) will
apply. Lift-gate fees and Canadian interline fees still apply, even when
meeting the $350 ($450) threshold.
Simplified
Discounts
We’ve also simplified the discount
process and made it easier for accounts to receive higher discounts faster.
Accounts receive a locked-in discount for the entire year.
At the beginning of each year, an
account’s discount is locked-in based on its purchases over the previous 12
months. Accounts that purchase enough to qualify for a discount are granted
that discount immediately, and continue receiving that discount for the
remainder of the year.

In addition, new accounts will receive
an annualized rate for purchases so they can earn their discounts at the end of
the year regardless of when they registered. Our goal is to help your accounts
earn a discount as soon as possible and make it easier for them to plan their
spending.
To spread the word about these updates,
we’ve increased communication to commercial accounts. We mail a letter at the
beginning of the year that notifies accounts of their discount level. To ensure
you’re in the loop, we’ve enhanced the reports in the Dealer Zone (my.amsoil.com)
to provide a better understanding of how your commercial accounts are
performing and the discount they’ve earned. Find this information in the Active
Personal Customers section of your Enhanced Reports. Simply click the CA
section to view your accounts.
