Affiliate Plus commissions will be added to your account balance weekly on Sundays, which you can cash out at the end of each month. You will need to reach a minimum of $25 to receive your commissions. Standard Affiliates & General Referers receive their sample credit immediately.
These terms will only apply starting March 17, 2025. Your referral benefits will update automatically once you reach a new tier. We will not retroactively apply credit or commissions for creators you've referred before then.
General Referrals and Standard Affiliates can see how much they've earned by viewing their Sample Budgets.
Affiliate Plus members can track referrals by heading to your dashboard, under the “Referrals” tab.
