TL;DR: Once you complete both Challenge Phases and receive your FundedNext Account, you can request your subscription fee refund, also called a Refundable Fee, 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 Refundable Fee after:
Completing both Challenge Phases successfully
Receiving your FundedNext Account
Once you're eligible, you can request the Refund as part of your first withdrawal, and the amount will be added to your total Performance Reward after internal approval.
Refundable Fee Conditions:
If you purchased the Challenge Account for $59, and completed both phases, you can request a $59 Refundable Fee.
If your account was Reset, the Refundable Fee will reflect the reset fee instead of the original purchase price.
Example: If your reset fee was $53, you will receive a $53 Refundable Fee 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 Refundable Fee 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 Refundable Fee will be based on the reset fee instead.
For instance, if the reset fee is $53, the trader will receive a $53 Refundable Fee upon passing the Challenge Phase and requesting Performance Reward.
