Short answer
Reach 20 approved conversions for VIP and 100 for PRO. Tiers are reviewed weekly, you are upgraded automatically and notified, and you then create new links on your new tier's offer, because old links keep paying the old rate.
- Everyone starts at Pink; 20 approved sales unlock VIP and 100 unlock PRO.
- Your total never resets, and upgrades are applied automatically after the weekly review.
- After an upgrade, build new links on your new tier's offer to earn the higher rate.
- Tiers only drop after a long pattern of rejected sales or rule breaks, with a warning first.
OmniPink rewards growth with three CPA tiers: Pink, VIP and PRO. The ladder is public, the thresholds are fixed and the same rules apply to every affiliate, whatever their traffic source. Each tier pays more per sale and unlocks extra perks, and moving up is automatic once you reach the target. Here we explain the targets, the weekly review, what changes when you move up and the one step you must not forget after an upgrade.
| Tier | How to reach it | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Pink | Everyone starts here | 40% RevShare, full access to both apps and the shared creative library |
| VIP | 20 approved conversions in total | Higher CPA, 45% RevShare, crypto payouts, custom landing pages |
| PRO | 100 approved conversions in total | Top CPA, 50% RevShare, bank transfer, priority pages, a Telegram account manager, API access |
The full comparison, including every rate by country and plan, is on the CPA tiers page.
- Only approved conversions count. Pending and rejected sales don't.
- Both apps count together. Approved sales from Sugarlab AI and SpiceStars AI add up to one total.
- Your total never resets. Quiet months don't push you back. Every approved sale adds to your lifetime count.
- CPA and RevShare sales both count. Approved conversions are counted whichever payout model you use.
- Every source counts. Sales from your site, communities, social profiles and paid campaigns all add to the same total.
Example: you have 14 approved SpiceStars AI sales and 6 approved Sugarlab AI sales. Your total is 20, so the next weekly review upgrades you to VIP.
You can follow your progress toward the next tier yourself:
- Open the conversion report.
- Set the date range to all time, or since you joined.
- Filter to approved conversions only.
- Count the total across both apps.
- Compare it with the next threshold: 20 for VIP, 100 for PRO.
Check pending conversions too. They aren't counted yet, but they show how close you are likely to be after the next approvals.
Tiers are reviewed once a week. When your approved total has passed a threshold, you move up at the next review. You don't need to apply, ask or negotiate.
After the upgrade, you receive a confirmation email and the offers for your new tier appear in your dashboard. Your existing reports, links and payment settings stay exactly as they were.
Tip: if you are a few sales from a threshold, check your pending conversions. Once they are approved, they count at the next weekly review.
A tier ladder with public thresholds keeps things fair and predictable. You know exactly what you need to reach the next tier, there is nothing to negotiate, and two affiliates with the same results are treated the same way. Higher tiers pay more because affiliates who reach them have proven they send real, approved buyers, which is worth more to the program than unproven traffic.
Each tier has its own offer. Links you created before the upgrade keep tracking, but they keep paying the rate of the tier they were created on.
To earn your new rate:
- Open the link generator after your upgrade.
- Choose the offer for your new tier.
- Create new links with the same Source ID and sub-IDs as before.
- Replace the old links in every placement.
- Test each new link in a private window.
- Note the replacement date in your link sheet.
Heads up: affiliates who skip this step often contact support asking why their payout didn't go up. Rebuilding links is what turns the upgrade into higher earnings.
VIP
- Higher CPA rates for every country tier and plan.
- USDC and USDT payouts, from a $1,000 minimum.
- Custom landing pages delivered in 5 days.
- A free premium account for two weeks.
- An automatic quarterly boost.
PRO
- The highest CPA rates, up to $75 per sale.
- Bank transfer, plus PayPal and crypto.
- Priority custom landing pages in 2 days and custom creative designs.
- A dedicated Telegram account manager.
- Partner API access for your own reporting tools.
- Custom volume pricing and co-marketing on request.
See the CPA tiers page for exact figures.
Example: 40 approved Tier 1 monthly sales in a month, on CPA.
| Tier | Rate per Tier 1 monthly sale | Monthly earnings |
|---|---|---|
| Pink | $40 | $1,600 |
| VIP | $45 | $1,800 |
| PRO | $52 | $2,080 |
Nothing about the traffic changed. Only the tier did. That is why rebuilding links after an upgrade matters so much: the difference compounds every month.
- Pick your strongest source and focus on it rather than spreading effort.
- Check your approved count weekly in the conversion report.
- Fix rejections early, because only approved sales count.
- Add a second placement on the same source once the first one is steady.
- Prepare a crypto wallet if you want USDC or USDT payouts after the upgrade.
- Scale proven placements before testing new channels.
- Use your VIP custom landing pages to lift conversion rates on your best source.
- Add a complementary source, such as SEO pages that answer your community's questions.
- Watch quality as volume grows. See scaling without losing quality.
- Plan for PRO perks: bank details for transfers, and questions for your account manager.
It depends entirely on your traffic. Some affiliates with established audiences reach VIP in their first weeks. Others take months. Use the earnings estimator on the CPA tiers page to model how many sales a month you need, and how much more each tier would pay you on the same traffic.
- Pink: learn your audience, test both apps and build clean tracking habits.
- VIP: request a custom landing page for your best source, and use the quarterly boost months to push volume.
- PRO: work with your account manager on custom pages and creatives, pull data through the API and ask about volume pricing.
Rarely, and never by surprise. A tier only drops after a long pattern of rejected sales, suspicious traffic or rule violations, and you are warned first. Normal refunds and quiet months never cause a demotion. See the account suspension policy.
- New links created on your new tier's offer for every placement.
- Same Source ID and sub-IDs as the old links, so reports stay comparable.
- Old links replaced on websites, profiles, pinned posts, bots and ad campaigns.
- Postback click ID still passed in sub5 on paid campaigns.
- Each new link tested on desktop and mobile.
- Replacement date noted in your link sheet.
Paid campaigns deserve special care: update the destination URL in your tracker or ad network, and watch the first day of clicks to confirm nothing broke.
RevShare rises with your tier too: 40% of every payment at Pink, 45% at VIP and 50% at PRO. As with CPA, the higher share applies to subscribers referred through links on your new tier's offer, so rebuild your links after an upgrade. See the RevShare tiers and when to switch between RevShare and CPA.
Do I get the higher rate on sales made before the upgrade? No. Sales are paid at the rate of the offer they were made on.
Will I be told when I move up? Yes, by email, and the new offers appear in your dashboard straight away.
What if I grow very fast? Tiers follow your approved total at each weekly review, so a fast-growing affiliate can move up again soon after the first upgrade.
Do my old links stop working after an upgrade? No. They keep tracking and paying the old tier's rate, which is exactly why you should replace them.
Do quarterly boosts replace the tier rate? No. They are applied on top of your regular rate for VIP and PRO.
- Target: 20 approved sales for VIP, 100 for PRO.
- Counting: lifetime total, both apps, all sources, approved only.
- Timing: weekly review, automatic upgrade, email confirmation.
- Action needed: rebuild links on the new tier's offer.
- Protection: demotions are rare and always come with a warning.
Contact support if your approved total has passed a threshold and a weekly review has gone by without an upgrade, or if you don't see your new tier's offers after the confirmation email. Include your approved conversion count and the date you passed the threshold.
Reaching a new tier is a milestone worth a few minutes of housekeeping. Rebuild your links, use the new perks and keep the quality that got you there.
