The earned discount privilege allows you to fill the holes you have in your inventory with smaller orders when you need something. You still get a 50% discount, no matter what size of an order, as long as you are active. When you place your first $200 WS or more in a month, that month you are considered A1 (active, 1st month).  That means you can place another order of any size that same month, and the following two months and still get it at 50% discount. Example: If you order $200 WS or more in June, you can place any size order at 50% in June, July, and August. In September, you must place another $200 WS order to start your earned discount privilege again for 3 more months. As long as your status is A1, A2, or A3, you can place any size order at 50%. If your status is i1 (inactive, 1st month) i2,  i3, T (terminated), then your next order must be $200 WS or more to bring you back to active (A1) status. If, during your A3 month, you accumulate $200 WS or more, you will be reinstated to  A1 status and can continue to order smaller orders for the two following months.
