Cut point
Dear English expertsI have a question about my below English sentence especially for the word "cut point". It looks vey Chinese English, but it is the best I can get in below sentence. Could you help to find a better word to fit this context or it is already right word. I marked the word which I am not sure in Red.
The new global referral bonus policy is effective as from April 10, 2017, however now is hard to track thetime when the referral occured. I suggest to take referree’s start date 2017/5/8 as the cut point between the new policy and old policy.
Thank you

The new global referral bonus policy is effective as of April 10, 2017.
You can use either 'as of' or 'from', but not 'as from'.
however, now is hard to track the time when the referral occured.
In this case, it is better to say:
"However, now it is difficult to track the exact date of referral."
I suggest to take referree’s start date 2017/5/8 as the cut point between the new policy and old policy.
You can make the sentence a little more fluent with adjustments like this:
"I suggest to mark the referree's start date (2017/5/8) as the cutoff date between the old and new policy."
(In English, we usually say 'old and new' rather than 'new and old'.)

A one-month grace period is recommended. The last date for the old policy will hence be May 8, 2017.
你有很多字也串錯了。例如 referee.
還有the old and the new policies應用複數。 pop00123 發表於 2017-9-12 08:44 PM static/image/common/back.gif

You can use either 'as of' ...
Thank you so much for the clear answer. Now I learnt how to use "as of" and "cutoff date". vegasoul 發表於 2017-9-22 09:21 PM static/image/common/back.gif

Thank you for the great example.

I thought they should be referrees and referrers. So the correct spelling is referees and referrers. Cool. appreciate. rayyeh 發表於 2017-9-23 08:37 AM static/image/common/back.gif

冠詞使用規則複雜難以盡說，不過任何一本英語教科書也應有說明。
簡單而言任何一般的、非特指的單數名詞也要有冠詞。所以本句中的冠詞不能略去。
還有事先難以預測何時會有轉介，已經意涵在一個月寬限期在內，所以本來不用明說，我也沒有翻譯。...<div class='locked'><em>瀏覽完整內容，請先 <a href='member.php?mod=register'>註冊</a> 或 <a href='javascript:;' onclick="lsSubmit()">登入會員</a></em></div> Understand. Thank you for your advice.
