Is It Worth It? Shotgun — rider terms

Plain language, like everything we write. These are the rules as of October 21, 2026.

1. What Shotgun is

Shotgun lets riders earn by telling drivers about Is It Worth It? You get your own code and link. When a driver creates an account with your code and pays for the plan, you earn from the passenger seat.

2. What earns

You earn 50¢ for every month a driver you introduced to the Is It Worth It? app keeps a paid plan. A driver on a yearly plan earns you 50¢ for each month the paid plan is active. Earnings are counted only after the driver's payment clears — and a month's 50¢ becomes payable only after that paid month is completed, not on the day the driver pays.

3. What doesn't earn

Free time earns nothing: the 30 free days at launch, any trial, and free accounts (like free-for-life or free-year beta testers) pay no 50¢ — that is stated here, before you promote anyone. A refunded or charged-back month is taken back — if it was already paid out, it comes off your future earnings; we never send you a bill for it — and earnings stop the month a plan is cancelled.

You can't earn from your own driver account, from a household member's account, or from a driver paying with your card.

4. Payouts

You choose how you're paid: PayPal or Venmo. Electronic payouts run monthly once your payable balance reaches $10. Prefer a paper check? A check is available on request, at a $25 minimum — a check, an envelope, and a stamp cost real money, which is why the bar is higher. Below your threshold, your balance carries over to the next month. This is real money out — never a subscription credit, because riders have no subscription. You pick your method, and can change it, in your rider back office under My earnings.

5. Taxes

If we pay you $600 or more in a calendar year, tax paperwork (a 1099) applies, and we will collect the forms the law requires before paying past that line.

6. Fair play

One rider account per person. If we suspect an account exists just to farm earnings, payouts pause while the company reviews it — that's the whole rule, decided by the company.

7. If you become a driver

The drivers you introduced as a rider keep earning you 50¢ a month for as long as they keep the plan — that doesn't close when you start driving. Your rider back office stays open so you can watch those earnings. Your own driver account is a normal driver account (free from launch until July 11, 2027 if you create it before that date, then the driver-terms price), and drivers you introduce from then on earn you the standard driver referral credit under the driver terms — not the rider 50¢. Nobody earns rider money on their own account.

8. Closing your account

Earnings end when your rider account closes. Balances below the payout threshold are not paid out after closing.

9. Changes

If these terms change, the new version is posted here with its date before it takes effect. Questions: isitworthitsupport@gmail.com.
