Amelna Circle · The First 50
Can a household planner actually learn how your household works?
We're inviting 50 moms to spend eight weeks planning their real households with Amelna.
As you use Amelna for meals, groceries, budget, schedule, pantry and family preferences, we want to learn whether that context helps Amelna create plans that fit your household better - so you have less to repeat, correct and figure out from scratch every week.
Questions before you apply
What is Amelna Circle The First 50?
The First 50 is an eight-week learning program for 50 moms who will use Amelna to plan their real households. We want to understand whether Amelna becomes more useful as it learns your meals, groceries, pantry, budget, schedule and family preferences - so you have less to repeat, correct and figure out from scratch each week.
Who can apply?
You can apply if you are at least 18, can use Amelna and receive PayPal payments where you live, and are willing to use Amelna for your real household planning during the eight-week program. Applying does not guarantee selection.
What happens after I apply?
We will review your application and email you when a decision has been made. Selection is not first-come, first-served. If you are selected, your acceptance email will include your start date and next steps.
What do I receive if I am selected?
You will receive 60 days of Amelna Premium without entering a payment card. You will use your existing Amelna account, or create one with the same email used on your Circle application.
What do I need to do each week?
Use Amelna meaningfully across at least two parts of your household planning, such as meals, groceries, pantry, budget or schedule. Then complete the five-question weekly feedback form by the deadline. You do not have to use every feature every week - we want to learn what naturally fits into your life.
How do the weekly thank-you payments work?
You may receive $2 for each verified qualifying Planning Week, for up to eight weeks. Payments are sent through PayPal every two weeks after Amelna reviews your in-app activity and weekly feedback. Submitting feedback confirms that we received it, but it does not automatically mean the week has qualified.
Do I have to give positive feedback to qualify?
No. We want the truth - including what worked, what felt frustrating, what Amelna misunderstood and what you had to correct. The $2 is a thank-you for qualifying participation, not payment for saying something positive about Amelna.
What happens if I miss a week?
Missing one week does not automatically remove you from the program, and it does not affect a different week that qualifies. You will not receive the $2 for a missed or non-qualifying week, and that week cannot be made up after its feedback window closes.
Do I need a separate Circle login?
No. You sign in only inside Amelna to plan your household. When you submit weekly feedback or share on the Circle wall, you will enter the email connected to your Amelna account so we can match you to an approved participant.
How will my feedback and Amelna activity be used?
Your application answers, private weekly feedback, PayPal email and in-app activity are not shown to other participants. Authorized Amelna team members may review them to run the program, verify qualifying weeks, support participants and improve the product. Private feedback will not be posted publicly or used as a testimonial without your separate permission.
What is the Circle wall?
The Circle wall is a separate mom-to-mom space for stories, tips, recipes, weekly wins and encouragement. It does not repeat the private weekly feedback questions. Posting is optional, and nothing from your private feedback is published there automatically.
Can I invite another mom?
Yes. Each participant may invite one mom to apply. If she enters your Amelna email on her application, is selected and completes her first qualifying Planning Week, you may receive a one-time $1 thank-you. An invitation does not guarantee that she will be selected.
