The program is not aimed at traditional content affiliates—applicants should operate as a legitimate IT reseller, MSP, consultant, or business publisher capable of referring customers, and approval may request proof of being in business such as a website URL, matching business email, and phone number. Commission is 25% of qualifying subscription revenues on a recurring basis for IDrive and IDrive BMR referrals. Payouts are quarterly via PayPal or check, with a $10 minimum threshold; commissions below $10 in a quarter are forfeited and do not carry forward. Check-based customer accounts are excluded, and checks are not sent internationally. Partners must stay active by adding at least one new paid referral per year or the account may be cancelled.
