Become a Member of Amis du Québec
When you join the Amis du Québec / Groupe Select community, you become a full Member and also get a virtual wallet of 100 “points ♥”. As a Member, you help support local merchants who are part of the community. They can offer you discounts, additional services, benefits and more.
What Are “Points ♥” and What Do They Allow?
- A “Point ♥” simply represents one hour of time—an hour given or received;
- It’s a way to help or be helped;
- It allows us to share our love with others when we can, and to receive love when we need it.
This system helps us build a better world—one where we create meaningful connections with other kind-hearted people, while becoming more autonomous and prosperous, even in a world where life conditions seem increasingly uncertain. It’s a sovereign currency, rooted in our ancestral values of mutual aid and self-sufficiency values that are making a comeback.
How to Exchange “Points ♥”?
Two of our members with experience in IT have developed a platform where we can send and receive “Points ♥” using a smartphone or computer. For those without access to technology, a paper version is also available.
Your “Points ♥” wallet is on the website groupeselect.net.
It includes your full exchange history, the dates, your personal notes, and a directory of participating members with whom you can communicate.
- For each hour of time a member gives you, you transfer one “Point ♥” to them;
- Every new member starts with 100 “Points ♥”.
What can we offer and what can be offered to us?
Give while receiving.
- You earn “Points ♥” by helping, and you spend them when you need help;
- Any act of kindness or service you wish to offer is welcome;
- like accompanying an elderly lady to a hospital appointment;
- or using your skills to help with a task;
- or even offering items in exchange for “Points ♥”.
You may offer your services or products partly for cash and partly for “Points ♥”, as long as the exchange is voluntary and mutually agreed upon.
In short, the only limit is our imagination when it comes to what we can offer or request.
“Points ♥” are a solution to replace money, which for centuries has created vast inequalities—making some people very rich while turning others into modern-day slaves.
This sovereign currency is not subject to the volatility of financial markets.
It brings us back to a human-centered economy—rewarding, empowering, and meaningful.
In this new world where we take charge of our own lives,
those who do the most for others will always have a wallet full of accumulated love—ready for the day they need it.
And along the way, they’ll build meaningful relationships, grow personally, and help create a better future for all.
What Inspired the “Points ♥”?
I’ve always dreamed of living in a better world. As a highly sensitive child born into a dysfunctional family, I faced many challenges growing up—experiences that made me deeply empathetic toward others in distress.
Years ago, my sister had two young children and limited financial means. She couldn’t afford daycare while working, so she came up with a brilliant idea. She brought together women in similar situations. They each received, for example, 200 units of fictional money and used it to “pay” each other for babysitting.
This small network of mothers not only helped solve financial issues, but also allowed them to support each other and build meaningful connections.
My sister had found a simple yet powerful way to bring people together—and that’s what inspired the creation of “Points ♥”.
