— so you know exactly what to expect.
Overview
Mode Earn Club is evolving to focus on earning types that deliver the highest value to members. As part of this update, one activity benefit is being removed, prices are increasing for new subscribers (existing members are protected), and several new benefits are being added.
What's changing
Music no longer earns MEC bonus points
From May 27, 2026, music listening will no longer earn MEC bonus multiplier points. This affects all MEC subscribers.
What this means for you:
- You will still earn the standard base points when you listen to music — this has not changed.
- Only the MEC earning boost (multiplier) on music has been removed.
- All other MEC-eligible activities continue to earn the full boost: Offers, Games, Charge Screen, Rewarded Videos, News, Surveys, and Friend Referrals.
New member pricing (existing members are not affected)
New subscribers joining after May 27, 2026 will see updated pricing:
- Monthly: $20/month (previously $5/month)
- Quarterly: $39/quarter (previously $13/quarter)
- Annual: $99/year (previously $39/year)
If you were already an MEC subscriber before May 27, 2026: Your price is locked in at your original rate for as long as you remain subscribed. You will not be charged the new pricing.
$5 cashback no longer available for new US subscribers
The $5 cashback benefit is being removed for new US subscribers. If you are an existing US member subscribed before May 27, 2026, you retain this benefit — it remains available to you after 45 days of membership.
What's improving
Referral rewards are increasing and now earn MEC bonus points
US users will now earn $4 per friend referred (previously $2.50). Additionally, your MEC earning multiplier now applies to referral rewards. This includes:
- The initial reward when you refer a friend (US: $4 per referral)
- The percentage of game earnings from users you've referred
Note: The $4 referral reward applies to US users only. International referral amounts remain unchanged. This makes referring active players one of the best ways to earn with your MEC boost.
New cash-out options coming
Google Play Gift Cards are coming as a new redemption option. Availability by region will be announced when the feature is live. An announcement will go out when this option is available. Additional cash-out options may follow in the future.
Upcoming new Sweepstakes feature
A new sweepstakes feature is coming soon. All Mode Earn App users will be eligible, and MEC members will receive an additional batch of bonus entries just for being subscribers, giving them extra chances to win prizes.
What's staying the same
- Your existing subscription price (if you were subscribed before May 27, 2026).
- Base points for music listening — you still earn points from music, just without the MEC multiplier.
- All other MEC earning activities: Offers, Games, Charge Screen, Rewarded Videos, News, Surveys, and Friend Referrals.
- Mystery Boxes (INTL only), VIP support, Mode Mobile shares, Helium Mobile SIM Kit (US), and all other plan benefits.
Frequently asked questions
Will my price go up?
No, if you were subscribed before May 27, 2026. Your price is grandfathered and locked in permanently for as long as you stay subscribed.
Can I still earn points from music?
Yes — you still earn the standard base points when you listen to music. The only change is that the MEC multiplier no longer applies to music. Your boost still applies to all other eligible activities.
Why was music removed from MEC bonuses?
Mode is focusing the MEC earning boost on activities that deliver higher rewards and more earnings value overall — things like offers, games, and referrals. This allows Mode to invest in higher-value features like new cash-out options and sweepstakes.
