Referral status extension: What you need to know

Learn more about the referral status extension through February 28, 2026

Updated this week

We heard your feedback loud and clear. Some of you didn’t get to enjoy your referral benefits for the full year in 2025. So, we’re extending everyone’s referral status and benefits until February 28, 2026. This extension gives you more time to enjoy your current benefits, and even move up to the next status.


What is the referral status extension?

Your referral status as of December 31, 2025 will carry forward into early 2026.

That means:

  • You keep your current referral benefits through February 28, 2026

  • You can continue referring friends during this time

  • You can still level up to a higher status before the reset

How does the extension work?

Here’s how it works step by step:

  • Your status and referral count as of December 31, 2025 are frozen and carried forward

  • From January 1 to February 28, 2026, you:

    • Keep your existing referral benefits

    • Can earn new referrals

    • Can move up to the next status if you hit the threshold

  • On March 1, 2026, referral status resets for the new year

What happens on March 1, 2026?

On March 1:

  • Your status will "reset" and be based only on referrals made in 2026

  • Any referrals you made between January 1 and February 28, 2026 still count toward your 2026 progress

Example: How this works in practice

Here’s a simple example to illustrate:

  • Ryan referred 4 people and was in Pink status as of December 31, 2025

  • On January 15, 2026, Ryan refers 1 more person

  • That brings him to 5 total referrals, upgrading him to Gold status

  • Ryan enjoys Gold benefits (1.0% fee) until February 28, 2026

  • On March 1, 2026:

    • Ryan’s status resets to Starter, and # of referrals resets to 1 (since his January 15 referral still counts toward his 2026 referral progress)

    • He pays the full 1.75% fee

    • Ryan needs to make 2 more referrals to level up to Pink status for 2026


Frequently Asked Questions

Do I lose my referrals on March 1, 2026?

No. Referrals you make in 2026 (including January and February) will count toward your 2026 status. At that point, your 2025 referrals will no longer count towards your status. Your status level resets based on your referral history for 2026.

Can I still move up to the next status during the extension?

Yes! If you hit the next referral threshold between January 1 and February 28, 2026, you’ll upgrade immediately and enjoy the higher benefits until February 28, 2026.

What fee will I pay after February 28, 2026?

Starting March 1, 2026, your status level resets based on your referral history since January 1, 2026. In the example above, since Ryan made 1 referral in 2026, his status would rest to the Starter tier, with 1 referral.
