Affiliate program
Send athletes.
Earn for a year.
You already point athletes toward their next block of good training. Give them your Train Tracks code and they get 25% off their first year, on top of the free trial. You earn 30% of net proceeds on what they pay for 12 months.
What your audience gets
A quarter off the year, after the trial
25% off their first year
Your code takes 25% off the first year of the yearly plan — $49.99 instead of $69.99. It renews at the normal price after that.
The free trial still applies
Apple's two-week free trial comes first, then the discounted year. Nothing is charged during the trial.
Monthly works too
An athlete who'd rather pay monthly just picks monthly. There's no discount on it, but you're credited all the same.
Entered in the app, once
On the subscribe screen they tap “Have a code?” and enter yours. Apple's page opens with the discount applied. One code per account, for new subscribers.
What you earn
30% of net proceeds, for 12 months
Net proceeds means the price after Apple's commission and local sales tax come out. Both vary by country, so treat the numbers below as typical rather than exact.
Your earning window runs 12 months from the athlete's first payment — the free trial doesn't eat into it. A monthly subscriber who stays produces twelve paid months inside it; a yearly subscriber's renewal at full price falls just outside it.
| Their plan | Price | You earn |
|---|---|---|
| Yearly | $49.99 first year | ~$12, paid onceRenews at $69.99 a year later — just outside your window |
| Monthly | $9.99 / month | ~$2.30 for each month they stay, up to 12~$28 for a subscriber who stays the year |
Approximate, in USD. What you actually earn depends on Apple's cut and the sales tax where the athlete lives.
How athletes use your code
Four steps, starting in the app
Get Train Tracks from the App Store and sign up
Build a plan — it takes a minute
On the subscribe screen tap “Have a code?”
Enter the code — Apple's page opens with 25% off applied
How you get credit
When an athlete enters your code in the app, their account is tagged with it — and that tag is what earns, monthly or yearly, discount or not. Your link, train-tracks-ios.web.app/r/YOURCODE, shows the code and the steps, and opens the app with the code filled in if they already have it. Share the code however you like: on camera, in a caption, on a whiteboard at the pool.
The one thing that loses your credit: typing the code into the App Store's own Redeem screen instead of the app. Apple doesn't tell us whose code that was. Say “in the app” every time.
How you get paid
Monthly, once the money lands
- Paid monthly, 45–60 days behind
- Commissions are paid monthly, 45–60 days after the month they were earned. Apple remits to us on a delay, so we pay you once the money has actually arrived.
- $25 minimum
- If your balance is under $25 in a given month, it rolls forward and pays out as soon as it crosses the line. Nothing is ever lost.
- Refunds reverse the commission
- If an athlete is refunded, the commission you earned on that payment is reversed and netted against your balance. A reversal that lands after you've already been paid carries forward. You are never invoiced for a negative balance — it simply has to clear before the next payment.
- W-9 and 1099-NEC (US affiliates)
- US affiliates return a W-9 before payouts pass $600 in a calendar year. We issue a 1099-NEC the following January.
The rules
Under-promise. The app over-delivers.
Approved wording
“25% off your first year with my code — enter it in the app.”
Accurate, easy to say out loud, and it never surprises anyone.
Never say “free”
The discount is 25% off the first year of the yearly plan. The two-week free trial is Apple's, it requires a payment method, and it renews. Promise “free” and your comments fill with “it asked for my card”. Promise the discount and the trial feels like a gift.
Disclose every time
Every post that uses your code carries #ad or “I earn a commission if you subscribe.” That's an FTC requirement and a condition of payout.
No promised results, no one else's data
Don't promise training outcomes — finish times, PRs, or qualifying. And don't show anyone's training data but your own.
