When a partner offered you months of MushMate with its code, you knew it on the day you activated it, and then nothing: its name only stayed in Settings. Now whoever offers you access signs it, for as long as the offer runs.
What changes for you
- A discreet line: "Offered by Traîneaux du Nord", with its logo. On the phone, under the MushMate logo on the home screen, and in Settings. On the website, at the top of every page, next to your access pill.
- Depending on who offers it: "Offered by your club, Mushers du Jura", "Offered by your coach, Anne", or simply "Offered by" for a partner.
- The partner's card: tap the line. Its logo, a sentence from them, the offer's end date, and a link to their website.
- Fourteen days before the end, the line becomes "9 days left, offered by…", then "Last day offered by…". That is the moment to decide whether to subscribe.
What others see — and what they never see
- Your kennel's members see the same signature as you: access belongs to the kennel.
- The partner still only sees numbers: how many mushers activated its code. It does not know that you opened its card, nor that you tapped its link.
- Nobody else: the signature does not appear on your shared runs, your public page or a litter's page.
What it does not do
- No link on iPhone. The partner's card shows there without the button to its website. Apple closely governs what an app shows around its purchases; that is the App Store's rule, not "not yet".
- No notification. The reminder lives in the signature itself: no message comes looking for you.
- No advertising. The partner does not choose what the app recommends, your rations or your gear. It signs what it offered you, nothing more.
- Nothing after the end. The day after the last offered date, the signature disappears.
Three choices made against the obvious
The countdown goes quiet if you already subscribe. It could have been shown to everyone: the date is the same. But it serves one purpose, giving you time to decide; once that is done, it would only shout.
A partnership that ends does not remove the name. If MushMate and a partner part ways while you still enjoy its months, its name stays — it is the one that offered them. Its logo, sentence and link disappear: it is no longer a partner.
The reminder keeps the tone of a signature. No red banner, no alert: the line simply turns bold. The pill at the top of the screen already says, in its own way, that the offered access is coming to an end.
