In October 2026, the dating platform Shagle removed its VIP Membership promotion from the official website, according to automated monitoring of shagle.co.uk on 14 October 2026. On the same date, the site added several new promotional offers tied to VIP status. Refer-a-customer credits grant free credits to users who refer customers, described on the site as a VIP feature. A VIP monthly DM bonus provides 100 bonus DM credits per month, which do not roll over. A further offer gives 5% off all video purchases for VIP members.

A separate membership page, scraped on the same date, lists a VIP membership priced at $39.95 that includes 150 monthly recurring credits. The same page describes a default DM price of 50 credits per message and a sign-up bonus of 120 free credits shown on the homepage banner. The page also notes the site is operated by VS Media, Inc. and FBP Media s.r.o., and includes a 18 U.S.C. 2257 record-keeping compliance statement. The platform has a Trustpilot score of 3 based on 5 reviews.

For users, the changes mean that benefits previously associated with the VIP Membership label are now presented as individual promotions, and that the bonus credits are limited to a single month without carry-over.
