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!

@SweetCryssy Everything you said and so much more was wrong with that podcast.. I to almost spit drink all over my laptop screen. Those numbers are so over inflated.. They praise us creators but can not even pop into a post on their own forum to answer legit Questions, Pay us, or stop holding our Money behind a Pay wall called Masa They want our ideas as members of the VU community??????? WAIT WHAT???? They have been actively not wanting our input and ideas since their doors opened unless it is some sloppy survey or to Beta test their Junk and still dont use our advice.. That podcast said everything we need to know.. They Want to push us all to Vcore payout and surprise surprise its not supported in the U.S or Canada. I wonder what their new partner would think if they actually knew what was going on here.. There was a reason no one knew about this podcast. IMVU usually screams this stuff from the rooftops.. Why didn't they this time? I sure would have loved to know this was taking place. They didn't want us to know Period. This is Insane.

The problem, however is that IMVU is not known for being transparent as they should be. The fact that no explanation as to why Grandfathered Creators who have been cashing out now have to subscribe to Platinum and/or Diamond VIP is why so many creators are upset and some taking the drastic measures of either putting their items as Display Only or closing up shop all together and taking their talents elsewhere.

@QBL What was disturbing to me was the load of BS and outright LIES I heard told by both the IMVU Rep and the Metajuice rep feed the podcast host and listeners. I literally threw up in my mouth when I heard both of them go on and on about how important creators are. Interesting enough no creators were invited to sit in and give their side of things...because we all know then the actual TRUTH about IMVU would come out and then they couldnt hide behind their inflated statistics. I'm still cleaning the coffee off my monitor that I spit out when I heard that over the next 24hrs there would be over 700,000 "active" users on the site. If there were that many active users on the site...then creator sales wouldnt be as bad as they are. It's mind boggling to see how blatantly they lie about the site stats and the creator community.

It should be working. It says online they are open from 6am to 6pm pacific time online.
Yup, the absolute lowest of the low sales is the other half of the coin when it comes to why I'm closing up shop. I haven't had sales this bad since I was a T0. The other half is all of this in the forum. They've shown us who they really are, and now I believe them.

Managed to make the call - PSA, the international number IMVU gives on their VIP info page does NOT include the country code (I assumed it did as it started with a 1). You need to add another 1 at the start.
BUT. Big bloody but. I can't get through. It puts me on hold for a little while then just goes silent. Tried multiple times and the same thing happens.

Something fishy is going on and it isn't just about grandfathered accounts and vip, no payouts, a wall of silence, numbers not connecting. Problems with paypal, not letting devs hit the payout amount for a cash grab when they can quite easily let devs cash out what is remaining in their accounts. For masa is should be open till it is all paid.
Or is imvu reaching a financial crisis! after all the USA is having massive problems with debt. Have they blown cushioning the company by making bad decisions, expecting young people to join and spend ?.Either way the non communication by not having another member of staff step in while Rigsk is away isn't good enough.
