Affiliate Program
The Premium Tier is a commission bump for high-volume affiliates. You can apply after 100+ unique paid signups; approval is at TradeSport's discretion. If approved, your flat commissions are multiplied by a rate negotiated case-by-case between 1.01x and 1.50x — there is no fixed Premium rate table. It is separate from the Premium Discount Code program.

The Premium Tier is TradeSport's commission bump for affiliates with sustained, high-quality referral volume.
Eligibility to apply
You may apply for the Premium Tier once you have generated at least 100 unique paid signups — 100 distinct referred users who have each made at least one completed payment.
Hitting 100 signups makes you eligible to apply; it does not automatically admit you. Applications are submitted through the affiliate dashboard, and approval is at TradeSport's sole discretion. Factors considered include referral quality, compliance history, marketing approach, and audience fit.
The benefit: up to 50% more
If approved, your standard flat-tier commissions are multiplied by a rate negotiated case-by-case in the range of 1.01x to 1.50x. Some Premium affiliates receive the full 50% bump; others receive a smaller increase. There is no fixed Premium-tier rate table — every Premium relationship is individually negotiated.
For example, an Advanced One-Phase sale that normally pays $25 would pay $37.50 at a 1.50x multiplier.
Premium status is discretionary and revocable
Premium status can be revoked if the conditions that supported approval no longer apply.
Not the same as a Premium Discount Code
TradeSport also grants Premium Discount Codes — customer-facing codes that add an extra discount on top of the site sale. That is a completely separate program with its own application and no minimum signup requirement. You can hold one, both, or neither. See "Do affiliate codes stack with site sales?" for details.
Full terms are in the Affiliate Agreement at /affiliate-agreement.

- Do affiliate codes stack with site sales?Standard affiliate codes do not stack with public promo codes — they mirror the active promotion and entering both does not double the discount. Premium Discount Codes are different: granted through a separate application (open to any active affiliate, no minimum signups), they add an additional percentage on top of the active promotion.
- Do affiliates get a 1099? How are affiliate taxes handled?You are responsible for all taxes on your affiliate income. Tax forms such as the 1099-NEC are issued where required by U.S. law, which is why accurate tax information is required at enrollment and KYC must be completed before your first payout. Consult a tax professional about how affiliate income applies to your situation.
- Does my affiliate code give my friend a discount?The standard affiliate code does not add any extra discount. It mirrors whatever promotion is currently active, so the final price is the same whether your friend uses your code or the public promo code. What your code does is attribute the purchase to you. Premium Discount Codes, granted separately, are the exception.
- How do I become a TradeSport affiliate?Join the TradeSport affiliate program by submitting an affiliate application and accepting the Affiliate Agreement. Approval is at TradeSport's discretion. Once approved, you get your own affiliate link and promo code, plus a dashboard to track referrals and commissions.
- How much do affiliates earn per sale?Affiliate commissions are flat dollar amounts per sale, not a percentage of the price. One-Phase Challenges pay $10/$17/$25 by tier, Two-Phase Challenges pay $5/$10/$20, and Trade League pays $5 per entry and $2 per reset. Resets on a referred user's original account pay the same flat commission for the life of that account.
