What Does The PBD Membership Cost?
PBD is absolutely free to join. There are no out of pocket costs. We operate on a performance basis. As we save you money, we take a small portion of that as our operating fee (10% of the quarterly rebate checks with a maximum of $300). So if our operating fees reach the maximum of $300 in a quarter, you have earned $3,000 in rebates. All rebates earned above $3,000 are not subject to any fees, you keep 100% of that money. If your store earns a total of $1,250 in rebates during a single quarter, then your feels will be $125 for that quarter, and deducted from your rebate checks.
Who can join PBD?
Any independent convenience store can apply to PBD but every application is reviewed on a case by case basis. To keep our membership in a competitive position, we can’t have two members across the street from each other.
