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!

Im sorry for your struggle Poly, it seems that depends from the person that will process our tickets.. others are knowledgeable and others have no clue what they doing :/ Maybe a new ticket? for me it worked the 2nd I did.. I too made the first one before 1st July and apparently they didn't process it until I made the new one.

I filed it as a creator ticket with the subject earn money program, they responded initially and asked me for the account names (which I had already told them in my ticket). I replied with the names and haven't heard from them since.

@Polystyrene I have made a ticket for linking my accounts since June and I noticed that I addressed my ticket to the VIP support instead of Money earning program support. After I had no response from the old ticket other than the canned message that they will do it by order of received, I made a second ticket but this time at the subject I put the earning money program instead of VIP this happened at 7th Of july and today I received a message that they made the proper adjustments according my request to funnel my accounts. Just let you know to make sure if u sent your ticket at the earning money program or just to the VIP support because it matters.

Creo que lo mas practico es someter el problema directamente a servicio al cliente. Aqui su queja lo mas probable se pierda en esta masiva y frustrante voragine de mensajes. A parte de que la mayoria en este particular y enredado hilo del "foro" no hablan Español.

Still Waiting on a compromise for single account holders.
Some of thoes creators finally hit the 50$usd mark after months but would have to shell out as an example 50$ via vip just to even earn it and then maybe not even break even.
A solution could even be just letting us cash out at gold vip(5usd) while still keeping your precious nft creation behind platinum vip(10usd) I can probably vouch for most of us that we dont want anything to do with nft's.
How about lets do this. Lets make grandfathered creators pay us and then make there payments unassigned longer until we say so and then they wont have the money to pay us. That way all the work they did for years will be ours to take.

No, because its not the status of VIP that counts towards their quarterly reports its the subscription payments.
In my opinion the Free VIP is to cover the amount of time needed for them to link the accounts.

A free month of VIP for alternate accounts .... sounds generous on its face, but the cynical side of me has to wonder if this isn't for some exec to bolster VIP subscription numbers artificially in order to justify his position before some quarterly annual.
