Have friends? Co-workers? Family members?
If you fall in love with a product or service you use, you’re probably going to buzz about it. (I know we do!)
But did you know you can actually get paid to refer friends?
We scoured the internet and found 35 companies offering awesome referral rewards. If you take full advantage of these programs, you can easily bank thousands of dollars. But sometimes a crisp $5 bill is nice, too.
1. Dosh: $5
Dosh is a cold, hard cash-back app. When you spent money at a Dosh-affiliated retailer, you’ll get a percentage of cash back. Perhaps it’s 10% back from your local pizzeria. Or 3% back from Bed Bath & Beyond. When you refer a friend — and they connect their credit and/or debit card and redeem their first offer — you’ll earn $5.
2. Airbnb: $20 Toward Travel
I’m so mad all of my friends use Airbnb already… maybe I need to make more? If you refer a friend who takes their first trip, spending $75 or more, you’ll get an easy $20 toward your next adventure.
3. Acorns: Up to $100/Year
You’ve heard of Acorns, right? It’s one of our favorite micro-investing apps. You can start investing your spare change with as little as $5. (Plus, you’ll earn a $10 bonus when you sign up here.) Next, refer a friend to earn up to $100 in a calendar year.
4. Blooom: $10 Amazon Gift Card
Need some 401(k) guidance? Blooom is a robo-advisor that’ll make sure your account is working hard for you. The hands-off service is $10 a month, but you don’t even have to get your friends to sign up to get the $10 gift card. If they simply opt for the free 401(k) check-up, that Amazon card is yours!
5. Chime Bank: $25
Chime Bank is kind of the bank of all banks. It has no hidden fees, it can save you money automatically and it even delivers your paycheck early. When you refer a friend (tell ’em it only takes five minutes to sign up) who deposits $50 or more into the account, you’ll snag $25.
6. Credible: $100 to $1,000
Credible refinances student loans, and the service has saved graduates a ton of money (like $50,000). If you’ve already used the service and you refer a friend who refinances a balance of $30,000 or more, you’ll snag $1,000. For balances under $30,000, or for personal-loan referrals, you’ll still get $100.
Note: This offer ends December 31, 2017.
7. HealthyWage: $20 (No Limit!)
This site pays you to lose weight (these women did it!). You place a bet on yourself and if you carry through, HealthyWage pays you. When you recommend a friend, it’ll add $20 to your wager. So, for example, if you invite 100 friends who sign up, that’s an additional $2,000 you can win if you meet your weight-loss goal.
Remember, the referral bonus is only available during the first three months of your HealthyWage challenge, so start hustlin’.
8. Lucktastic: 1,000 Tokens
Love scratch-off tickets a little too much? Lucktastic is a great free option. You can play scratch-offs right on your phone. When you refer a friend who downloads the app, you’ll bank 1,000 tokens — good for all the spins.
9. JOANY: $25 (Unlimited)
JOANY is healthcare concierge service. Its employees help individuals find and compare plans, seek out doctors and navigate complicated medical bills. In order to best cater to its customers, it needs you to answer some HIPAA-protected survey questions — fewer than 50 — for $25. (Make sure you qualify here.)
Once you complete the survey, share your unique referral link. When a friend successfully completes the survey, you’ll get another $25.
10. Lyft: A Free Ride
If you refer a new Lyft rider, once they take their first trip, you’ll earn a free ride. Do note that this offer varies by location, so just check your Lyft app.
11. Uber: $5 Toward Your Next Ride
Uber offers two options: When you’re a driver and refer a friend to start a new side gig, you can get rewarded. But if you’re a passenger, you’ll snag a $5 credit when you refer friends and they use your code before requesting their first trip.
12. MyPoints: 750 Points
If you haven’t already, you’ll want to sign up for MyPoints because you can earn a $10 Amazon gift card when you make your first purchase. Then refer your friends, because you can earn 725 points toward more gift cards when your friend makes a $20 purchase.
13. Ibotta: $5
The Ibotta app is an easy way to earn cash back for your purchases. You’ll also earn money back when you refer a friend. Once your pal claims the $10 welcome bonus, you’ll pocket $5. If you’re not already a member, go ahead and join (for free) and snag that $10 welcome bonus for yourself.
14. Aspiration Summit Checking Account: $25 For Charity
This online-only bank account makes dealing with your finances a lot easier. The “no ATM fees” and “earn interest” aspects are nice, too.
If you have an Aspiration Summit Checking Account, refer a friend. Unfortunately, you won’t personally bank extra money; however, Aspiration will donate $25 to the charity of your choice, which puts sweet karma on your side.
15. Decluttr: $10 (Up to $100)
It’s exactly as it sounds: Decluttr is an online platform on which you can purge all your old media (CDs, DVDs, etc.) and electronics. When you gently remind your friend to clean out their childhood bedroom, you’ll earn $10 after they complete their first order.
16. Ebates: $25
Whatever you do, before you go shopping, you better use Ebates. Users can get up to 15% cash back. And when you refer a friend, you can bank $25.
Note: This offer stands until Dec. 31, 2017.
17. Clink: $5
Clink is a super simple investing app. It basically does everything for you, and you need only $1 to start. Plus, when you refer a friend, Clink puts $5 in your account!
18. Drop: 1,000 Drop Points (or $1)
Drop is a fun, passive rewards app that rewards you for your purchases at its affiliated retailers, a few of which include Trader Joe’s, Lyft, Starbucks and Target. When you refer a friend, you’ll get 1,000 bonus Drop points, which equates to $1. If you have a lot of friends, you could earn up to $100.
19. Shopkick: 250 Kicks
Rewards apps are great, but many times they require you to spend money to make some back. Shopkick is different, though. You can earn “kicks” just by walking into a store. These kicks then translate to gift cards. For example, 6,500 kicks will get you a $25 Amazon gift card.
When one of your referrals signs up for Shopkick, you’ll bank 250 bonus kicks. That’s like walking into five Targets.
20. InboxDollars: 10% of Friends’ Earnings
If you’re into survey sites, you’ve probably heard of InboxDollars. You can get paid to take surveys, watch videos and play games. When you refer a friend who signs up, you’ll earn 10% of their qualified earnings. Say they watch a video and earn $1. You’ll get 10 cents.
21. GlassesUSA: $30 Toward Glasses
Eyecare isn’t cheap, so any little bit helps. GlassesUSA offers (more) affordable frames and lenses, and when you recommend a friend who buys a pair, you’ll get $30 toward your next purchase.
22. Achievement: 500 Points
When you download the Achievement app, it works passively to track your steps and activities, and it rewards you with points, which convert to dollars. Once you hit 10,000 points, you earn $10.
Help yourself reach that goal faster by referring friends (up to 20) and earning an extra 500 points without even leaving your couch.
Heads up: This is for a limited time only.
23. Clarity Money: $3
The free Clarity Money app helps you keep your finances in order. It’ll even negotiate existing bills for you. Check it out for yourself if you haven’t already.
Then, once you realize how much you love it, refer a friend. Once they sign up and link one account, both you and your friend will bank $3 in your Clarity savings account.
24. Qapital: $5 (No Limit)
Qapital is a fun banking app that helps you effortlessly save money. When you refer a friend who makes their first deposit, you’ll both bank a $5 bonus.
25. Twigby: $20 Credit
Cell phone bills are way too expensive these days, so some folks have opted to save tons with discount wireless carrier Twigby. If you’re already a customer, great. Go ahead and refer a friend so both of you will receive a $20 credit.
26. Groupon: $10 in Groupon Bucks
All right, Groupon has wacky deals sometimes, but you can find real gems (like pizza) and save a ton. When you refer a friend, you can bank $10 in Groupon bucks to spend on the next great deal you find.
27. The Honest Company: $20 Credit
Jessica Alba’s sustainable products empire, The Honest Company, has a solid refer-a-friend program. Invite a friend, and bank $20 in your account for your next purchase. (This is perfect for moms!)
28. Sam’s Club: $10 E-Gift Card
Are you a Sam’s Club member? When you send a friend your unique referral link (found here), and they sign up, you’ll collect a $10 e-gift card, and they’ll collect a $20 e-gift card.
29. AAA: Refer a Friend for 20 AAA Dollars
Got AAA? You can help a friend out without changing their tire on the side of a highway by referring them to AAA. You’ll get 20 AAA Dollars, which will go toward your card’s renewal. Plus, you both can score awesome, unexpected discounts.
30. Chase Credit Cards: Varies
A lot of credit cards offer great refer-a-friend deals, especially Chase. I have the Chase Sapphire card, and when I refer a friend, I get 10,000 points, which is enough to cover a flight (depending on where I’m going). I can max out at five friends — or 50,000 points.
To find out if your Chase card offers a refer-a-friend bonus, enter your information here.
31. Hulu: $10 Visa Prepaid Card
Have you taken the plunge and cut the cable cord? If you’re a Hulu user, be sure to refer a friend. That friend will get a free 30-day trial, and you’ll get a $10 Visa prepaid card or gift card.
32. Rent the Runway: $30 Off
Rent the Runway is an online shop that lets you rent designer dresses for a fraction of their price tags. (Penny Hoarder Susan Shain loves it!) When you refer a friend, not only will they get $30 off their next purchase, you’ll get $30, too.
33. Hotels.com: $50 Off
If you travel a lot, you know how expensive hotels can be. Hotels.com not only helps you save, but when you refer a friend (who then books a $200-plus stay), you’ll also get $50 towards your next booking. Your friend will get $50 off, too.
34. Shipt: $10 For Groceries
Shipt makes all your dreams comes true. That is, if you hate entering the grocery store. If you’re curious, read about how it works here. If you already use it, recommend it to a friend. Both of you will get $10 to go toward your next grocery bill.
35. Walmart Grocery: $10 Promo Code
Love using Walmart’s grocery online pickup and delivery service? You might as well spread the good word, and refer your friends. They’ll get $10 for groceries — and so will you.
