Refer Friends and Earn up to $500 in Gift Cards per Year

Did you know that you can earn hundreds of dollars when you share your love of Members 1st? Our Digital Referral program makes it simple—just invite your friends and family to join and receive a gift card once they sign up.

How it works

  1. Register to get your unique referral link

  2. Share it with loved ones

  3. They join Members 1st1

  4. You each receive a $50 Amazon eGift Card2

But wait, there’s more! Keep referring and you can earn up to $500 in Amazon eGift Cards per calendar year. No hoops to jump through, no stress—just share and watch the rewards roll in. Plus, you will be doing your friends a favor by giving them a chance to enjoy all the benefits of membership.

Clever Ways to Share Your Referral Code 

  • Group Chats: We all have that group text thread, or maybe a few. Send the link with a quick line like: “If anyone’s looking for a better financial institution, check this out. Bonus: we both get $50.” 

  • 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. You can use your Amazon eGift Cards to save on necessities and put the extra cash towards a weekend getaway, several nice dinners or whatever else you would like to treat yourself to. 

Ready, Set, Refer 

Good friends share everything—so why not their credit union? Start spreading the love, rack up those rewards and help your friends enjoy the perks of being part of the Members 1st family. They will thank you, and so will your wallet.
