I am thinking of giving SS a try. If I join under someone who has not passed the 7/10 challenge and get accepted before they do will they still get referral credit for my sales?
Thanks all

It should work but the risk would be if they never make it.  Then they would just be relying on you and any other referals to get a payout.

Probably 75% of my referals have no photos (and they are not buyers) so a lot give up before they get on.

I went through a phase where I found and referred loads of photographers thinking the extra 3 cents from their sales would make a pleasant little top-up sum.

My findings ...

About 4/5 of those I referred either didn't get accepted, or if they did, they never opened a portfolio.

And of those few who did get accepted and uploaded , almost all of them uploaded no more than 10-12 photos and then seemed to give up. Not one is a regular contributor.

So ... I get a few cents every day from their work, but hardly worth the effort.

On the other hand, if this is typical, it must be very good business for SS ... loads of small portfolios of images that sell every now and again, but taking forever to reach each individual's  $100 payout point.

And if they have given up, then it is free money for the agency.  But in either case, they will still receive interest on any earnings that the submitter has "received".
