New Affiliate Score Rules Start August 27, 2026

Your affiliate account score is about to change, and not in a small way. Starting August 27, 2026, new scoring rules take effect, and the example shown drops a 4.4 score to 4.1.

That is a real shift, so here is what is changing and what it means for how you work.

What Happened

• Product selection gets simpler, and the products you can pick now depend on the product's score.
• Content quality counts toward your score, so better content pushes it higher.
• The assessment period becomes 30 days, which means performance changes show up in your score faster.
• The example in the notice shows 4.4 dropping to 4.1.

Why It Matters

This change rewards creators who focus on quality instead of just volume. Going forward, be more selective about the products you choose, put real effort into your content, check your performance every 30 days, and stay consistent.
