Every paid DCA Navigator member gets a referral code, link, and QR code automatically — earn a $5 bounty per qualified referral, uncapped. The bounty pays your subscription first at every tier. On Navigator ($19.99/mo) the bounty accrues as platform credits only — no cash-out; on Voyager ($29.99/mo) and Captain ($39.99/mo), earnings beyond your subscription pay out in cash — monthly, owner-approved, $25 minimum, W-9 hold at $600 paid in a year.
A referral qualifies when your friend is a paid member and still paid at day 60. The $5 bounty lands then — and if you're not paid yet, it waits for you. It never forfeits.
Top Referrers ranks members by qualified referrals only — usernames and badges, no money shown.
One code per signup, entered at signup only. No self-referrals. A signup that came through a partner pays partner rules only — never both programs on one signup.
DCA Navigator partners earn cash two ways — commission on the ad spend they bring in, and a bounty for each member they bring in.
Partners earn commission on the ad revenue they originate. It starts at 10% and climbs on a ten-step ladder as the revenue you originate grows: $1,000 → 10.2%, $2,000 → 10.4%, $4,000 → 10.8%, $7,000 → 11.4%, $12,000 → 12.2%, $20,000 → 13.2%, $33,000 → 14.6%, $54,000 → 16.2%, $88,000 → 18%, $143,000 → 20%. Every rate applies to renewals too.
$5 bounty for each member a partner refers who is paid and still paying at day 60.
Partner payouts are monthly and manual, $25 minimum, owner-approved. At $600 paid in a year a W-9 is required, and the crossing payment waits for the form. Partners earn while their own subscription is active and paid; every earning is in a ledger they can see.
Members: your referral code is already waiting in the app — earn the $5 bounty, subscription first at every tier, platform credits only on Navigator, and cash-out beyond your subscription from Voyager up. Portfolios: Navigator 1, Voyager 3, Captain unlimited. Creators and communities with an audience: the partner program pays cash. Becoming a partner takes an application and the owner's approval, an active Captain subscription, and a real public audience the owner can view — no follower-count minimum.
