Summary
New rules clarify that unbinding and rebinding may trigger re-evaluation or reset of early-stage Pilot Program status; switching creator types may force re-entry into Pilot Program with status reset.
Why it matters
Creators and sellers who unbind and rebind accounts, or switch creator types, now face potential loss of accrued Pilot Program progress. This could delay access to e-commerce features and affiliate permissions, impacting revenue and account eligibility timelines.
Recommended action
Review all bound creator accounts and planned rebindings. Document current Pilot Program status before any unbind/rebind or creator type switch. Consult support for exemptions or status preservation options before initiating account changes.
If an account unbinds and re-binds, the early-stage control period may be re-evaluated or reset based on the account’s status.
Switching creator types may result in re-entry into the Pilot Program or a reset of status
