When your first payment actually arrives

When your first payment actually arrives

Wondering why your dashboard shows earnings but your bank is empty? There's a normal delay, and it has a name: the locking period.

Think of it like a refund window at a shop. The store waits to make sure the buyer keeps the item before counting the sale as final.

1. Your referral subscribes — earnings appear as "pending."
2. A holding period passes (often 30–60 days) in case they refund.
3. It moves to "approved," then pays out at the next cycle.

Example: subscribe-day March 1, 30-day lock, monthly payout = you likely see real money around early-to-mid April.

In plain English: pending isn't paid yet; it's money waiting to clear the refund window.

Try today: find your program's "locking period" and "payout date" so the wait stops feeling like a glitch.
