  • Every feature on every plan: photos and label reading, value estimates, the insurance report, slide shows, movies, and Casey, the site's AI helper.
  • A record their family can use someday. That's the part collectors care about most.

Questions

Does it cost anything?

No. Partners don't pay anything and don't need a paid collection of their own.

How do people use my code?

They click your link (it fills in your code), or type the code when they sign up. Either way they get 60 days free and you get the credit.

When do I get paid?

Each payment is held 30 days (in case of a refund), then it counts toward your balance. Once a month we send everything owed by PayPal, when the balance is $25 or more.

Can I see who signed up?

You see numbers: clicks, sign-ups, trials, payments and what you earned. We never share a customer's name, email or collection.

Are there rules?

Share it honestly with your own audience. Coupon and deal sites, spam, and paid search ads on our name aren't allowed. The partner agreement has the details.

Where is it available?

Partners in the United States and Canada. Payouts are in US dollars by PayPal.
