This is an important update for Grandfathered Creators.
In the announcement below we stated that starting July 1, 2023, all Earn Money Creators, including Grandfathered Creators, will be required to have either Platinum or Diamond VIP in order to be in the Earn Money Program and receive cash payouts.
(This requirement does not affect Grandfathered Creators who are subscribed to legacy VIP (from before Tiered VIP launched).
We realize this is a huge change for many Grandfathered Creators and have been closely following feedback regarding this new policy.
Based on your valuable input, we have come up with a solution that should make it easier for affected Creators to transition.
Details are as follows:
LINKED ACCOUNTS FOR GRANDFATHERED CREATORS
Starting July 1, 2023, Creators will be able to link three Grandfathered Creator accounts together, with only one VIP subscription.
Creators will choose one Grandfathered account for their VIP subscription, and two additional Grandfathered accounts that will not need VIP.
If a Creator already pays for Platinum or Diamond VIP on a non-Grandfathered account, they can apply it to two of their Grandfathered accounts.
All three linked accounts will be eligible for the Earn Money Program and payouts.
Once the accounts are linked, new earnings from these accounts will be combined into one MASA balance. Earnings from before the accounts are linked will not be combined.
Grandfathered accounts that are grouped with a VIP account will not need to apply for the Earn Money Program as long as they have already been approved to participate in the Earn Money Program prior.
Starting August 2023, earnings from the linked accounts can be set up to funnel into the VIP account.
INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO LINK GRANDFATHERED ACCOUNTS
Here’s how to link a Platinum or Diamond VIP Grandfathered account with two additional accounts.
Make sure one of your Creator accounts has Platinum or Diamond VIP
Submit a help ticket to the Earn Money Program, requesting linked accounts. List an account that has VIP, and two Grandfathered accounts that do not have VIP.
If any of the linked accounts is not in the Earn Money Program, those account(s) will need to join to earn money and request a payout. All accounts will be able to apply to the Earn Money Program without a VIP subscription. However, you will not be able to earn money or request a payout until the account has a qualified VIP subscription or is linked to a Grandfathered account with a qualified VIP subscription.
Once the team receives your ticket (and your Earn Money application(s) if applicable), they will:
Check to make sure the accounts are owned by you
Confirm your Earn Money Program application has been accepted.
As soon as your accounts are approved, the team will link them together, so all three can be in the Earn Money Program with only one VIP subscription
ADDITIONAL BENEFIT - JULY ONLY
Between July 1 and July 30, Earn Money accounts with less than $50 can convert their balances into Credits. To receive Credits, send a help ticket to the Earn Money team.
Attention Creators - Starting July 1 Earn Money Payouts will require VIP
This is an important notice for Creators who are not signed up for VIP but still receive cash payouts in the Earn Money Program.
Starting July 1, 2023, all Earn Money Creators will be required to have either Platinum or Diamond VIP in order to receive cash payouts.
This does not include legacy Creators who signed up for VIP before the Tiered VIP system launched. They already have the equivalent of Platinum VIP and do not need to take any action.
CLARIFICATION:
Added 5/18/23: By "legacy Creators" we mean Grandfathered Creators. Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits.
When this new requirement is introduced, Grandfathered Creators without VIP will still be able to create, submit to their shop and earn Credits.
Added 5/23/23 - You will not be able to earn cash or receive payouts unless you purchase Platinum or Diamond VIP. Once you join VIP you can earn cash and receive payouts. You will not lose existing cash balances. They will simply not be available without VIP.
The Platinum and Diamond VIP memberships offer exclusive benefits that will help Creators make the most of their IMVU experience, including free live chat rooms, live voice broadcasting, and catalog discounts. See our store https://www.imvu.com/next/store/ for more details.
We realize VIP is new to many of you, and to that end, we have provided several weeks of notice so that you can review the Platinum and Diamond VIP offerings and decide which is right for you. See our store https://www.imvu.com/next/store/ for more details.
Thank you!

As of now, I will not create for you anymore. I have been proud, happy, and able to express myself creatively with you. But this was a brand new low.
I spent a LOT of money getting where I am here now, and I HATE this change. I get you want to get with the youth. But us who has been here for years. We do not want to be promised one thing and then get the other.
This is why I am not going to give you any more free content.

@Sylaraia I think that is what most creators have been doing that have more than just the three accounts. Link three together and then link the others with other VIP accounts. Didn't see anything that didn't allow it.
My question... what is up with the "we" for some?? Is it them and their pocket mouse?? I'm so confused.

I have a stupid question. Let's say you have 5 accounts. What if you link accounts 1-2 to account 3 under their equation, but then send in a request to link accounts 3-5? Will that in effect get all 5 accounts linked up, or will IMVU's brain just explode?

They are not going to listen and never will, they think vcoin is going to save the day even though it is on a constant slide downward. We are in a global recession, companies have hiked up prices, the only thing imvu don't realize is entertainment comes bottom of the list to food, energy and clothing prices. At the this present moment they should be making imvu more affordable, but they probably see what the pandemic brought to the table and in a crisis think people will turn to this as a way of entertaining boredom. But people i know would rather sacrifice this and have a meal out. Real will always win over virtual.

Hello all,
I think we can do at least 2 things that will help us all.
Ask for more than 3 accounts to be added under 1 VIP account as a perk. I am asking for 10.
Ask for a raise for the value of credits. $55 instead of $40
This is not going to go way so ask for what you deserve and keep asking. Sooner or later we will read "we listened to you..."

I don't know what they mean by saying that mobile and classic aren't a part of it, but you will have VIP in all parts of the site. You will be able to create in Create Mode and get payouts through the classic site. I bought VIP this way.

@RigsK
Please let IMVU know we need at least 10 accounts linked under 1 VIP because in some accounts we make the minimum $50 in more than 6 months.
