Refer a Friend Programs

These are some of my favorite Refer a Friend programs- the concept is the same with all of them, you sign up and get a unique URL to use to refer friends to the site in order to earn anything from products to gift cards. *No purchase is required for any of these programs.

*For RedBox fans.. until March 17th you can earn free rentals by referring friends. Details here.

Inspired Silver: On this program you refer friends for points, and can redeem points at different levels to earn free jewelry.
You can start redeeming points at 10, meaning you normally need to have referred 10 friends. This weekend (3/4-3/6) you get double points per friend- meaning you only need to refer 5 for your first reward.

Shopittome is another awesome program. Instead of products, you refer friends for giftcards to stores like Old Navy, Gap, Itunes, Macy's, Whole Foods and more. Ten friends will earn you a $10 gift card- and neither you or your friends need to ever make a purchase!




Swagbucks isn't exactly a referral program, but you can refer friends to earn extra swagbucks. I installed the toolbar in FireFox and have switched to using the search rather than Google earning me more points. I tend to be too busy to play the games/surveys that can get you extra swagbucks- but I've still be able to earn enough bucks that I'm redeeming them for Amazon Gift cards and saving for Christmas shopping this year!






CrowdtapThis is a interesting Beta program, currently working with brands like Old Navy. You earn points for answering simple questions about brands, and you also earn dollars for random rewards. The "refer" part of this is that you earn $5 for every 5 friends you refer, and can request your payment at $10. *But this program promises an extra benefit- you also will get chances to sample brands/products (Old Navy just "sampled" some of their new spring collection to members) for free.
