TL;DR: Once you complete both Challenge Phases and receive your FundedNext Account, you can request your subscription fee refund, also called a Passing Reward, with your first payout, also known as Performance Reward. This equals your original purchase or reset fee and is added to your Performance Reward after approval.
In the Stellar 2-Step Model, you become eligible for a Passing Reward after:
Completing both Challenge Phases successfully
Receiving your FundedNext Account
Once you're eligible, you can request the Passing Reward as part of your first withdrawal, and the amount will be added to your total Performance Reward after internal approval.
Passing Reward Conditions:
If you purchased the Challenge Account for $59, and completed both phases, you can request a $59 Passing Reward.
If your account was Reset, the Passing Reward will reflect the reset fee instead of the original purchase price.
Example: If your reset fee was $53, you will receive a $53 Passing Reward with your first withdrawal upon request.
Example – Based on challenge fee:
If a trader purchases a $6,000 Stellar 2-Step Challenge for $59, and successfully passes the Challenge:
They can request the $59 Passing Reward along with their first withdrawal request.
This acts as a refund of the initial challenge fee.
Example – Based on Reset Fee:
If the account is reset (not a new purchase), the Passing Reward will be based on the reset fee instead.
For instance, if the reset fee is $53, the trader will receive a $53 Passing Reward upon passing the Challenge Phase and requesting Performance Reward.
