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!

I did that and they can't tell us anything due to privacy concerns. I was hoping they would be able to say something if it was a wider issue with more than one business, but this is all that they said:

Yes!! I knew this but I thought we needed to get the tickets in before July 1- and then it would auto convert on July 1....Ive had a ticket in for a week and they havent responded letting me know they will be linking my accts (like they did others) so Im just gonna ride this out til July 1. Im just afraid that on July 1 they auto convert our alts to credits (even tho we have the request in) HOPEFULLY not but I'm losing faith that things can go as planned here. I def dont need a week or two worth of credits from my accts- especially since we will now be getting the free vip credits with our vip accts. FINGERS CROSSED all goes as it should.... as luck would have it the 1st falls on a Saturday so we wouldnt even be able to get answers until Monday if then- :(

Apparently the issue with paypal is fixed, it's just a backlog of payments slowing things down.

Since IMVU won't talk to us and tell us what is going on somebody should write to paypal and ask them what the problem is at least we might get an answer from them as I'm sure they won't ignore us like IMVU does.

@HunnyHer It is my understanding that July 1st is only when you can start to request linking, Then in august is when they will start to actually work. Just incase you missed this answer to the question I think they plan on giving u a 30 day pass for july if you have requested the linking. Hope this helps planning for you HunnyHer.......

My primary concern at that stage was to open up a dialogue. Having had success with IMVU previously through the BBB I thought some questions could be answered and a conversation started beyond what is going on here in the forum. And because of us not really uniting together as a force I thought it would be easier than trying to go through a lawyer or government route. But IMVU is not even willing to do that so......

I did contact the CA state department of labor office but this is what they sent me back: Good Morning,
Thank you for your email. The Labor Commissioner’s Office only has jurisdiction over unpaid wages between employees and employers. The laws we enforce don’t apply to independent contractors or people who are self employed (unless you have employees working for you). We unfortunately cannot assist you with your question.
Thank you and take care,
Labor Commissioner’s Office

IMVU's priorities are so effed up. How many of their scam NFT promotions have they had to brainstorm since this farce began? But they can't put one person on their developers to solve people's pay problems.

I have about the same faith but that is how the whole chain is supposed to work. I used to be a 1099 employee and had to file with Colorado because the person wouldn't pay me... like at all. Colorado was pretty quick on it. So I hope the same for ya'll. Make sure every question you have about the situation, you ask. That will be your best source.

I hope that works. I don't have much faith in our government's ability to handle anything in a timely manner.
