Hype Crew FAQ

Before you
make some noise.

Do I need to join the Hype Crew to get release alerts?

No. Anyone can sign up for Drop Group and Hot Group email alerts. The Hype Crew is a separate application-based program for adults who want to share Empanada Sonata with their communities.

Is every applicant accepted?

No. Marlyse’s team reviews each application individually. Applying does not guarantee acceptance, and the team will contact you by email after a decision is made.

How do Hype Crew points work?

Approved members receive a personal affiliate code and referral link. Eligible purchases made through that code or link can earn one point for each whole dollar of qualifying product value. Tax, shipping, self-referrals, and refunded value do not earn points.

What can points be used for?

Available rewards may include food, future Empanada Sonata merchandise after the store launches, or other crew exclusives. Reward choices, point requirements, and availability can change, and points have no cash value.

Do I have to post on social media?

Social profiles help the team understand how you share with your community, but every member must follow the program terms and clearly disclose the reward relationship whenever a referral is promoted.
