Question 1

How long does my referral link stay attributed to me?

Accepted Answer

A click on your link is credited to you for 90 days. If someone clicks and signs up within that window, the referral is yours even if they take a while to actually subscribe.

Question 2

When and how do I get paid?

Accepted Answer

Payouts go out via PayPal on the 15th of every month, once your balance clears $50. If you haven't hit the minimum yet, your balance rolls over to the next month, it never resets to zero.

Question 3

Do I need to apply to join?

Accepted Answer

No. Every partner starts at Scout the moment they create a code, no application and no minimum audience required. The only tier that requires an application is Desk.

Question 4

How do I get into Desk without 25 referrals?

Accepted Answer

Apply and show us your audience. If you have a real following, an active community, or a channel that reaches traders even without 25 paid referrals yet, you can apply for Desk directly.

Question 5

Do I have to use FINOTAUR myself to be a partner?

Accepted Answer

No, you can run the program without ever holding a subscription. There's no requirement to be a member to earn commission.

Question 6

Is commission recurring forever?

Accepted Answer

No. Monthly-plan commission runs for the first 12 months of a referral, then it stops. Annual-plan commission is a one-time payment on that purchase. A program that promises lifetime commission usually pays a much smaller rate that trickles in for years, and in practice it adds up to less than a strong rate over a defined window.

Question 7

What happens on a cancellation or a refund?

Accepted Answer

If a referred member cancels, your commission on their subscription stops from that point forward, payments you've already been paid are not clawed back. If a specific payment is refunded, that payment's commission is reversed. That's the only clawback that happens.

Question 8

Which plan should I point people at?

Accepted Answer

Annual, when you can. An annual referral typically pays you roughly 1.5x more than the same person on a monthly plan over their first year, and it lands as one payment instead of trickling out over months where they could still cancel.
