![A web professional seated against a pink background in GoDaddy's own brand photography for its Pro partner programme, the programme whose reward points terms this page reads]()
GoDaddy's partner programme for designers and agencies, GoDaddy Pro, is governed by an agreement that still carries a reward points section quoting 5% for a Pro and 10% for a Pro Plus provider. We read it on 9 November 2026. The same document says earning was terminated on 20 November 2022 and that points expire two years after accrual — which means the last valid point lapsed by November 2024. Here is what the agreement says, and the part of it that still applies to anyone handing a Pro access to their account.
📅 Update log:
GoDaddy runs a partner programme for web designers, developers and agencies called GoDaddy Pro, and it is governed by a document at godaddy.com/en-in/legal/agreements/pro-program-service-agreement. We read it on 9 November 2026.
Most of it is what you would expect: how a Pro can get access to a client's GoDaddy account, what GoDaddy will and will not stand behind, and the usual limitation of liability. Then there is a long section about reward points — which quotes an earning rate of 5%, and 10% for the higher tier.
Nobody has been able to earn either of them since November 2022, and on the agreement's own arithmetic every point anyone ever held expired two years after that.
What the agreement actually says
The section carries its own heading, and the heading is the first clue: "PROVISIONS SPECIFIC TO REWARD POINTS (Legacy Program - Not Applicable to Customers that enroll in the Pro Program after November 20, 2022)".
Two sentences inside it do the real work. "Earning Points under the Pro Program was terminated as of November 20, 2022. All existing points will continue to be valid for two years from the date they were accrued." And, under its own sub-heading: "POINTS EXPIRATION POLICY: Customer must maintain an active account in the Pro Program to retain Points they accumulate. Points expire 2 years after being accrued."
Put those together and the programme closes itself. No point could be accrued after 20 November 2022. Every point expired two years after it was accrued. So the last point that could possibly still have been valid expired on or before 20 November 2024 — that date is our arithmetic on GoDaddy's own two sentences, not a date GoDaddy prints.
| Date | What the agreement records |
|---|
| 8 February 2016 | Pro Program earning rate set at 5% of the qualifying checkout amount |
| 1 September 2016 | Pro Plus Provider earning rate set at 10% |
| 20 November 2022 | Earning terminated. Section no longer applies to anyone enrolling after this date |
| 20 November 2024 | Last possible point expires — our arithmetic on the agreement's own two-year rule |
| 9 November 2026 | Section still published, still carrying the 5% and 10% rates |
This is not an allegation of anything. Keeping a clearly labelled legacy section in a live agreement is ordinary legal housekeeping — it still governs historic disputes. The point worth making is only that the percentages inside it read like a current offer and are not one.
The rates that are still printed
The earning structure is stated as a share of the checkout total: "Qualifying products - Pro Program (Effective as of February 8, 2016) is equal to 5%" and "Provider Qualifying products - Pro Plus Provider (Effective September 1, 2016) is equal to 10%", calculated on "the total checkout amount in U.S. Dollars ... after any applicable" discounts.
Both carry 2016 effective dates and no end date in the rate line itself. The termination is stated several paragraphs earlier, under a different sub-heading. That is the whole reason this page exists: the number and the expiry are not next to each other.
How the points worked, while they worked
Worth recording, because these are the terms that governed anything anyone is still arguing about — and because they are a fair guide to how GoDaddy writes a loyalty scheme.
| Rule | What the agreement says |
|---|
| When points became redeemable | 30 days after the purchase date |
| How long points lasted | 2 years from accrual, then expired |
| What they could become | GoDaddy.com in-store credit only — never cash |
| Who could hold them | Individuals only, one account each; corporations, groups and associated entities excluded |
| Transferable? | No — "may not be transferred to anyone", and "do not constitute property of the customer" |
| What never earned points | Purchases by telephone, through Discount Domain Club, or through a GoDaddy affiliated entity |
| If an order was refunded | The points that order generated were debited back |
Two further lines stand out. "Accrued Points do not constitute property of the customer. Points have no cash value." And "Points redeemed to GoDaddy.com in-store credit are not eligible to be cashed out and are subject to cancellation two years after they've been accrued" — so converting points into credit did not restart the two-year clock. The credit expired on the age of the points, not the age of the credit.
GoDaddy also reserved the right to "revoke Points if there is suspected fraudulent or abusive activity", and noted that its daily point estimates were estimates rather than a guarantee.
Pro Plus, and the tier that outlived its own entry route
The higher tier is defined by points: "GoDaddy will designate a 'Pro Program provider' as a 'Pro Plus provider' when they earn 2,500 qualifying points within a calendar year." Status then "expires on December 31st of the year following the designation", and is maintained as long as the threshold keeps being met.
With earning terminated, the stated route into Pro Plus no longer operates, and the agreement does not publish an alternative one in this section. The benefits it lists — chiefly a profile in the Pro Connect area — remain described. Anyone relying on Pro Plus status should confirm directly with GoDaddy how it is granted now, because this document does not say.
The part of this agreement that still matters every day
Strip out the dead points section and what remains is an account-access document, and it is worth reading on its own terms. A Pro can request access to a client's GoDaddy account "on a limited basis", where they can view the account, or "on a full basis", where they have full control of it.
GoDaddy is explicit about where it stands between the two parties. "Although GoDaddy takes certain steps to examine the credentials of a Pro Program Provider", nothing about the programme is an endorsement, and "GoDaddy is not involved in the actual contract between a Pro Program Customer and a Pro Program Provider or in the completion of any services". If the two of you fall out, that is between you.
Granting full access means handing over the domains, the hosting and the billing on one login. The limited option exists for a reason, and this agreement is the document that says so.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you still earn GoDaddy Pro reward points in 2026?
No. The Pro Program Service Agreement states plainly: "Earning Points under the Pro Program was terminated as of November 20, 2022." The whole reward points section is headed as a legacy programme "Not Applicable to Customers that enroll in the Pro Program after November 20, 2022". We read the agreement on 9 November 2026 and that wording was still in place. The 5% and 10% rates still printed in the same section carry 2016 effective dates and describe the programme as it was.
Do I still have GoDaddy Pro points sitting in my account?
On the agreement's own terms, no. It says "All existing points will continue to be valid for two years from the date they were accrued" and separately that "Points expire 2 years after being accrued". Since nothing could be accrued after 20 November 2022, the last point expired by 20 November 2024 — that calculation is ours, applying GoDaddy's two published rules. Converting points to in-store credit did not help: the credit was "subject to cancellation two years after they've been accrued" too. Check your own account balance with GoDaddy directly.
What were the GoDaddy Pro earning rates?
5% for a Pro Program provider, effective 8 February 2016, and 10% for a Pro Plus provider, effective 1 September 2016, both calculated on the total checkout amount in US dollars after applicable discounts. Points became redeemable 30 days after the purchase date and could only become GoDaddy in-store credit, never cash. Purchases made by telephone, through Discount Domain Club, or through a GoDaddy affiliated entity never qualified.
How did someone become a GoDaddy Pro Plus provider?
By earning 2,500 qualifying points within a calendar year, after which GoDaddy would designate them a Pro Plus provider. The status "expires on December 31st of the year following the designation" and was maintained by continuing to meet the threshold. Because point earning was terminated in November 2022, the route into the tier that this agreement describes no longer operates, and the document does not set out a replacement. Ask GoDaddy directly how Pro Plus is granted now.
What access does a GoDaddy Pro get to my account?
Whatever you grant. The agreement describes access "on a limited basis", where the provider can view your GoDaddy account, or "on a full basis", where they have full control of it — which means domains, hosting and billing on one login. GoDaddy states it "is not involved in the actual contract between a Pro Program Customer and a Pro Program Provider" and that nothing in the programme is an endorsement of any provider, so a dispute between you and your Pro is between the two of you.

Every quotation on this page was read from GoDaddy's own Pro Program Service Agreement at godaddy.com/en-in/legal/agreements/pro-program-service-agreement on 9 November 2026, logged out, from India. GoDaddy states in that agreement that it "may change or modify this Agreement ... at any time", so the wording quoted here may already have changed. The date of 20 November 2024, as the last day any reward point could still have been valid, is our arithmetic applying two rules GoDaddy publishes — that earning was terminated on 20 November 2022 and that points expire two years after accrual. GoDaddy does not print that date, and we have not inspected anyone's account balance. Nothing on this page alleges that GoDaddy has acted improperly or misled anyone — retaining a clearly labelled legacy section in a live agreement is ordinary legal practice, and that section is headed as not applicable to anyone enrolling after November 2022. This page covers the reward points provisions and the account-access provisions only; it is not a complete account of the agreement, which also contains indemnity, liability, ManageWP and termination terms not discussed here. This is not legal or financial advice. If you believe you hold a points or credit balance, raise it with GoDaddy directly. Terms change without notice.
