Mmm... I wonder where the Producer Perks program is going with this new scenario.
The Perks deal basically gives an extra 1-2% (or more) in commission depending on whether you are Gold, Platinum, or Diamond level. I will bet anything that Allianz would love to switch the new "preferred" stuff for their perks program, which is costing them a bundle. A friend of mine bought his wife a new car strictly with Allianz perks.
