With these new features and improvements, we’re focused on making the user experience even better.

We've added a new welcome page to the app. This page allows users to login or signup prior to accessing the app and ensures less confusion when a new member is not logged in.

We’ve also completely revamped the sign-in and sign-up process to make it faster, easier, and more intuitive:

Password setup only on first visit - After that, you won’t need to use it for future logins.

We’ve enhanced the deal-sharing experience with the implementation of universal links.

Now, when you share a deal, the link will automatically open the app directly to that deal where users can redeem it immediately. If the app is not installed on the user’s device, an app store will be loaded instead inviting users to install it.

This feature makes it easier to share deals with friends, offering a seamless experience every time.

We’re excited to launch a new feature that makes inviting friends to PassPass super easy. You can now invite friends directly from your phone’s contact list.

In the app, from your account page, click the “invite friends” link to load this feature. Then select the contacts you want to invite, and the app will automatically generate a personalized invite for each of them.

This update is designed to help you share PassPass quickly and efficiently, whether you're inviting one friend or your entire contact list. And remember, every friend who joins through your invite link will help you earn more through our referral program.

We’ve introduced a new W9 form collection page for partners and affiliates to streamline tax document submissions.

This feature allows you to easily submit your W9 form directly through the Partner or Affiliate Portal, ensuring compliance with tax regulations and making the entire process much more efficient. Simply access the page, fill out the form, and submit it in just a few clicks.

Every Friday, we’re now sending a quick End-of-Week Recap to both partners and affiliates, highlighting key performance metrics and offering actionable growth tips. Here’s what it will cover:
