2026 Black Friday - affiliate promo kit

What is Circle’s Black Friday Deal?

Circle is running its biggest discount ever, and it's the only sale we run all year. From Nov 25 to Dec 2, new customers get up to 30% off Circle's Business and Scale plans for the first year.

What your audience gets

  • Up to 30% off Business and Scale for the first year

  • 10,000 bonus AI credits for new customers

  • A 30-day money-back guarantee

How it works

  • This is a buy-now offer. Your audience will be able to instantly purchase their discounted plan, without starting a free trial first.

  • The deal runs Nov 25, 2026 to Dec 2, 2026 — this is also the posting window for your promos.

Why promote it?

  • It's the best time of year to earn as an affiliate. Your audience is already looking for deals, and B2B tools rarely go on sale. Circle's discount gives you a real reason to tell them to buy-now, whether you're just starting to promote Circle or want to go deeper up your recurring.

  • You earn 30% recurring on both discounted plans. A Business annual sale pays you $552 a year, and a Scale annual sale pays you $1,257.60 a year. On monthly billing, Business pays you $52.50 a month and Scale pays you $119.70 a month, for as long as they stay on Circle.

  • Buy-now means faster commissions. There's no 14-day trial to wait through. When someone buys through your link, you start earning recurring commission on their purchase.

  • There's cash bonuses available on top of commissions. This year, we’re offering a leaderboard with cash prizes up to $1,500, and several other opportunities to earn.
