I haven't seen anyone get a belt since I started and from what he's (my instructor) told me, promotions happen only once a year.

And you're not guaranteed a belt, even after you're out $100... which is really cause for concern and makes me think that it's more of a belt testing fee (as pstevens mentioned earlier in the thread). However, a few I spoke to that are in fact going, have been told they're going to get promoted.
