-
Social Media: Stories, posts, reels—your friends are already scrolling, so why not make it worth their while? Drop your link and let them know they can score big too.
-
Workplace: Share your referral at lunch or during a coffee break with coworkers: “We’re always talking about saving money—here’s an easy way to snag $50 for both of us.”
-
Holidays: Holidays are about giving, so it’s perfect around Thanksgiving or Christmas: “You bring the pie, I’ll bring the referral link. We’ll both leave with $50.”
-
Money Memes: Who doesn’t appreciate a good meme? Pair your link with a classic meme for a fun, lighthearted way to share the excitement and some cash.
How $500 Adds Up
Want to see how fast the rewards can pile up? It’s simple: refer 10 friends who become members, and you’ll hit $500 per calendar year.
