MYOB Partner Program

Your status tier may decrease, stay the same or increase.

• Your tier will increase immediately if you gain enough points to unlock a higher status tier.

• Your tier will either decrease or stay the same on 1 January. It will decrease if enough of your points expire and you haven't earned enough new points to maintain your current status tier. Your points balance on 31 December will determine what status tier you will hold the following year, beginning 1 January.

To maintain your status tier, you’ll need to earn the points required for the tier. Check your points balance (see Check your points and status tier below) and continue participating in activities that earn points – certifications, active client files, referrals, promotions and events (keep an eye on your Partner program newsletters.) You have until the end of each year to earn points. The points you earn from participating in the program can expire at different times:

• Events, promotions and education – one year from when you're awarded them

• Referrals – at the end of each year (31 December)

• Active client files – when a client cancels their subscription.

For example, let's say you hold the tier of Silver Partner because you have 100–159 points. There are three scenarios you might find yourself in on 1 January, depending on your points balance on 31 December.

Scenario 1:

Because your points expired throughout the year, on 31 December you now have 99 points. This isn't enough points to maintain a tier of Silver Partner (which needs 100–159 points), so on 1 January your status tier will decreases to Purple Partner for the year (which needs 0–99 points). 

Scenario 2:

Your previously-earned points expire, but you keep an eye on your points balance and continue participating in activities that earn points. On 31 December you have 100–159 points. This is enough points for a status tier of Silver Partner, so on 1 January you will keep your status tier of Silver Partner for the year.

Scenario 3:

Similar to scenario 2, your points expire, but this time you continue participating in enough activities to have 300+ points. Champion! Your status tier will increase to Diamond Partner immediately. If you've maintained these points on 31 December, on 1 January you will keep your status tier of Diamond Partner for the year.

In MYOB Practice, the Partner Hub area will display your points and your practice's status tier.

To see the points that your practice has gained and the points that have expired in Partner Hub, go to Points activity > Points history.

The points history doesn't show activity from active files. You can see total points earned from active files in the Partner Hub Overview, in the Activities summary section.

Points from different activities update in your Partner Hub at different times.

• Active file points update daily.

• Referral points for the previous month update monthly.

• Event points update within one month of the event.

• Certification points update the day after you complete the certification.

To make sure that the points you've earned are awarded to all practices you work with, you can link your my.myob accounts together. The linking account feature is designed to associate multiple accounts across different practices in MYOB Academy with the one person.

If multiple accounts from a single practice are linked, the points for that practice will be calculated as a single person, so make sure you are only linking accounts from different practices.
