This guide explains how Neural-LLM Partners get paid in cash — schedule, methods, holds, refunds reverse, minimums, and a short tax/1099 overview. Exact commission rates always come from your approved enrollment / Partner portal, not from this article.
TL;DR
| Topic | Default / rule of thumb |
|---|---|
| Currency | Cash USD (not store credit) |
| Lifecycle | pending → payable → paid (or reversed / held) |
| Hold | Config default 30 days after paid conversion |
| Minimum payout | Config default $50.00 payable balance |
| Methods | Dashboard preference (commonly PayPal when enabled) |
| Refunds | Reverse Direct + Scout; after payout, negatives reduce future runs |
| Taxes | Independent contractor; U.S. 1099 may apply — not tax advice |
Schedule
- A buyer attributed to your partner code URL (
/r/{code}) or checkout partner code pays a real subscription charge. - The system records Direct (and Scout if applicable) with a rule snapshot.
- The row is pending until the hold clock passes.
- Cron moves eligible rows to payable.
- Ops runs a payout batch for partners who meet the minimum and have payout details on file → paid.
There is no instant cash-out. Do not market one.
Methods
Choose your preferred payout method in the Partner dashboard (methods are configuration-driven). Keep destination email/handle accurate. Ops may require a matching tax form before the first transfer.
Holds
Holds protect the program from fraud, instant refunds, and chargebacks. Pending is still a real ledger row — it is just not payable yet. Details: Cash, holds, refunds.
Refunds reverse
- Related Direct and Scout commissions reverse (full or proportional).
- After you were already paid, negative adjustments reduce future payouts.
- Historical rows are never deleted — the ledger stays honest.
Minimum payout
Program default is $50.00 USD of payable balance (minimum_payout; tier overrides may apply). Below the threshold, balances roll forward until a later run.
1099 / taxes (overview only)
You are an independent contractor, not an employee. You are responsible for taxes and registrations in your jurisdiction. For U.S. Partners, Neural-LLM may collect tax IDs and issue forms (for example 1099-NEC) when law and thresholds require it, and may delay payout until required forms are on file. This page is not tax advice.

FAQ
When will I see money in my PayPal (or other method)?
After hold → payable → an ops payout run that includes you. Timing after “payable” depends on the next batch and tax/form readiness.
Can I cash out under $50?
Not under the default minimum. Balances accumulate until you clear the threshold (unless config/tier changes).
Do trials pay me?
No. Free/$0 paths do not create cash commissions.
Where do I set my payout method?
Partner dashboard — How you get paid.
Who runs payouts?
Neural-LLM operations — not Anthropic.
Is this an income guarantee?
No. Commissions require attributed paid customers. Marketing projections are illustrative only.
