ClubZERO Reward Points

Founder/President/CEO shares details about his ClubZERO Reward business model

Welcome to ClubZERO Rewards

A Membership-Driven Self-funding Entrepreneural Movement with Real-World Impact

ClubZERO Rewards (ClubZERO) is more than just another travel rewards program—it's a self-funding engine that funds business and non-profit initiatives powered by a like-minded online membership community. Together they help build our membership, while funding the collective visionary impact driven projects and initiatives of GridZero, AngelPreneur Venture Group (APVG), and Clear Blue Oceans Foundation (CBO Foundation), and sharing in their success along the way.

Developed by our Founder/CEO Peter "The AngelPreneur" Ortmann—an Angel Investor and entrepreneur, (Hence the AngelPreneur tag)—ClubZERO will empower members to take action and become stakeholders in real-world innovation. Along the journey they earn cash BitZERO$ Rewards to purchase merchandise in the online store, and travel on the ClubZERO branded online travel booking website. Members can also participate in our member referral affiliate income program. Our goal is to deliver at least 2X the cost of membership back to our members.

Why The ClubZERO Membership Model Works

The short answer is there is power in numbers. As an example, back in the 1990s, AOL (America Online) had over 26 million subscribers globally. Many continued paying $19.95–$29.95/month for dial-up internet or email-only access, even after they switched to broadband. A significant number of users reportedly paid for years without ever logging in — simply to retain their email address, screen name, or digital identity. At one point, AOL made over $1 billion a year from legacy subscribers, many who weren’t even aware they were still being billed — or didn’t care. Now, over 30 years later AOL is finally shutting down its dial-up this September.

Why Subscribers Stayed & Paid:

Emotional attachment to their screen name/email identity
Fear of losing emails given to someone in the past or access to services even if they never used them
Status signaling — being early online adopters or in the delivery room of the next big brand

Similar Consumer Loyalty/Lock-in Examples

1. Apple iCloud and App Store Ecosystem: Many users pay for iCloud storage, sometimes years after they stop actively using it — simply to retain backups, photos, or email continuity. Apple uses ecosystem lock-in: music, apps, photos, devices — leading to reluctance to switch, even with cheaper options. That is the reason Apple has become a multi-TRILLION dollar valued company.

2. Amazon Prime: Over 200 million global Prime subscribers, ($139 this year) with many forgetting to use all their benefits (streaming, Kindle, groceries). Loyalty is maintained via auto-renewal, bundled services, and sheer convenience.

3. Netflix: Many people maintain accounts even during periods of non-use because canceling feels like “giving something up.” Emotional hooks like saved lists, viewing history, and personalized recordings.

So, like AOL or the other above users who paid for digital identity, user accounts or services for years, so will many, ClubZERO members. Why? Because our membership offers a very unique loyalty anchor — it will empowers members to help build companies and ocean-focused initiatives that address real issues impacting our planet which is something people will want to be part of and hold onto. Not just for the value it gives them today, but for what it gives them long-term - a sense of pride in being part of something meaningful, and bigger than themselves. People don’t cancel value — they cancel inconvenience.

Membership Tiers

We keep it simple by letting anyone join at the free Silver level, the default membership with just a verified email. Silver members will get limited access to the membership website for more information about our many projects, overall mission, non-profit initiatives, and can buy in the online store. They can become Affiliates to refer others, but do not earn from those referrals until they become paid members. Once a paid member, they will unlock all benefits, There are never any contracts to enter into as all memberships are month-to-month, and they can cancel anytime..

ClubZERO is building an innovative forward looking entrepreneurial community that will deliver two or more times the cost of any monthly dues paid in value. A membership program that everyone can relate too, and even earn from, if desired. By design, we will offer three paid membership levels with maximum availability as follows: 4 million Gold Membership for $35 monthly, 500,000 Platinum Memberships for $85 and 50,000 Business Memberships for $145 monthly. Failure to pay defaults the member back to Silver.

Acquiring & Redeeming Reward Credits

All paid members will receive Reward Credits each month while active. Initially Gold members receive $25 each mont, Platinum receive $50 and Business members will receive $75 per month, posted directly posted to the members online account for use in purchasing merchandise in the non-profit

ReefShark Apparel & Accessories online

store, or travel (cruises, airfare, hotels,)

in the online travel booking system.

Business Perks for our Business Members

Our Business level members who have products, or services to offer other members will receive all the Gold member benefits, plus:

A dedicated Ad space on the membership website with their logo, and direct website links, that they can change online at will. (Ads are submitted to us for approval before posting)
Category listings in a Business Directory that links to their promotional page for all members to access.
A powerful way to tap into a growing community of All like-minded member consumers, including Silver.

Member Referral - Affiliate Income Program

Turn your social media followers or network into revenue with our opt-in Affiliate Member Referral Program for a one-time set-up fee of $35. Affiliates serve as our marketing team and get paid for building our memberships in a program run on the well established Post Affiliate Pro software. Commission payments are made monthly directly to the Affiliate's bank account or assigned re-chargeable debit card. This is the perfect side-hustle business for any influencers looking to build a steady second income stream. Our Program is simple and pays as follows:

$20 1X bonus per new Gold referral (first month)
$10 per month ongoing residual per active Gold referral
$40 1X bonus per new Platinum referral (first month)
$20 per month ongoing residual per active Platinum referral
$50 1X bonus per new Business referral (first month)
$30 per month ongoing residual per active Business referral

NOTE: Silver members can refer new members after joining, but do not participate in the income flows until they become paid Affiliate members themselves. Once they do, they will begin earning on any paid member referrals made at the monthly rates. No bonus dollars are paid unless the new member joins by a paid Affiliate referral. The chart below will be live on the membership website to allbw members to set referral income goals by adding the values in the yellow boxes.

We pay Affiliates to market the club model and share regular updates or messages so we don't have to. They become part of our global marketing team. There are never any required meetings to attend, people to meet, or downlines to build. Members simply post one of the ads we provide with a unique embedded link wherever they want. When someone clicks on the linked ad, and joins for free, they become their referral for as long as they are members. Affiliates get paid as long as their referrals are paid members each month.

The Power of Numbers

As the old saying goes - " There is power in numbers" - and that is especially true in our ClubZERO model. When you consider that we can reach our projected maximum membership level of 4 million paid Gold Members - paying just $35 per month in dues, 500,000 Platinum members paying $85, and 50,000 Business members paying $145 monthly, we could generate over USD $2.3 BILLION annually. One can clearly see the upside potential of the dues revenue model - if even 10% of that target is reached. Then consider this is merely one income source as ClubZERO grows and acquires GridZero, it will become a debt free public company that can continue to build-our an exciting group of solution based companies. See our CZR projections here.

Allocation of Monthly Dues

ClubZERO has entered into a Dues Sharing Agreement (DSA) at the rates shown below with a) GridZero to fund its ventures, b) AngelPreneur Venture Group through December 31, 2034, to help fund its proposed Maui ventures and web series, c) help fund the non-profit Clear Blue Oceans Foundation (CBO Foundation) ocean-related initiatives, and d) the ClubZERO Rewards Trust to fund the member Reward Credits program. See other web pages on this site for more details. Club operating revenues will substantially beginning January 1, 2030 as shown in the chart below.

The AngelPreneur Venture Group will allocate 10% of its allocation to fund its proposed private Lahaina Business Fund, which could provide over $100 million in capital by 2030. Those funds are dedicated to helping rebuild the local Lahaina businesses lost as a result of the west Maui, Hawaii August 2023 wildfire that burned historic Lahaina Town and its harbor to the ground.

Social Impact Meets Innovation

A ClubZERO membership doesn’t just fund businesses—it helps address real-world problems. Our HumidaPURE AirWater Company will make clean drinking water from humidity, Plastic2Power USA will convert plastic packaging waste into electricity, our Tropical Reef Travel Cafes will merge the travel agency model into a cafe while promoting ocean issues. APVG's West Maui Resilience Center (WMRC) will incorporate our Founders Aquarium Plaza, and build an AgriVoltaic Farm to build long-term food, water and power security for West Maui, Hawaii.

The CBO Foundation's primary mission is to combat ocean plastic waste & debris, chemical pollution of our air, water and land, and reef degradation through increased awareness of these issues, while offering innovative, sustainable, and community-based solutions. The CBO Foundation was originally established by our Founder in 2007 and reincorporated in Hawaii in 2019. It was inactive during the Covid years, and is currently in the process of restarting its 501 c(3) tax exempt status and returning to their original ocean-first focus, reaffirming our Founder's commitment to safeguarding the health of our oceans, tropical reefs and marine ecosystems. They will be based on the Island of Maui by 2026.

The CBO Foundation focus is on addressing the following:

CBO Marine Group: The CBO Marine Group is a proposed operating division of the CBO Foundation ithat will build and operate its innovative ocean awareness initiative, including a cruise line, yacht charter and research vessel for the Hawaiian islands.
Promoting Plastic-Free Oceans: Reducing marine plastic waste and debris through awareness, advocacy, beach or coastal clean-ups and alternative packaging initiatives.
