Referral Terms

The GBTI Network shares revenue with members who bring new paying members to the community. This page states the terms. By participating you agree to them. We may update these terms, and any change applies to commissions accrued after the change takes effect.

What you earn

You earn 30 percent of the paid membership revenue of each member you refer, for as long as that member keeps paying and you remain an active member. The commission is calculated on the gross amount of each paid invoice, before fees.

A referral is recorded two ways:

• A shared link. Your referral link carries your referral code. A visitor who signs up after following it is attributed to you.
• Your published content. Every published post and product you author shows a join call to action that carries your referral code. A visitor who arrives through your content and joins is attributed to you.

Attribution is first-touch: the first member whose link or content a visitor arrives through is credited, and that attribution does not change afterward. Self-referral is not allowed: you cannot earn a commission on your own membership.

When you get paid

Each commission is held for 90 days before it becomes payable. This settlement hold covers the refund and chargeback window, so a commission is only paid once the underlying payment is settled.

To receive a payout you must:

1. Be an active paying member at the time the referred member’s payment is made. If your membership lapses, you stop accruing new commissions, and resubscribing resumes accrual. Commissions you already earned while you were active remain payable.
2. Complete Stripe Connect onboarding. Payouts are sent through Stripe Connect, which handles identity verification, bank payout, and tax forms. Until you onboard, your commissions accrue and wait, but nothing is transferred.

Payouts are sent in cash through Stripe Connect. Account credit is not offered at this time.

Clawbacks

If a referred member’s payment is refunded or charged back, the commission for that payment is voided. Because of the 90-day hold, a voided commission is cancelled before it is ever paid out. We do not claw back money that has already been transferred to you; the hold exists so that we do not have to.

Abuse

Commissions are earned on paid revenue only. Trials and refunded payments earn nothing. Self-referral is rejected, and accounts created to game referrals are removed. A banned member forfeits all unpaid commissions.

Questions

The amounts you are owed are always derived from the underlying Stripe records, so your earnings reconcile exactly to real payments. If you have a question about a commission, reach out to the team in the community Discord.
