Free · sharers list 72 h before launch

No account to copy Free to list Both sides rewarded

Have a referral code to share or promote? Join as a sharer and you list 72 hours before the launch email goes out — the first code on a brand page keeps the top slot while the page is new.

Working referral codes

What a referral code is: a personal invite a brand gives you to share. On this directory, copying one will be free and need no account.

Paste it at sign-up

Where it goes: the field marked referral or invite code, usually during sign-up. The new-user bonus lands once you qualify.

Both sides get paid

What you earn: cash, account credit, or commission when someone joins with your code — not a one-sided coupon.

What a referral program page will look like on launch day

Today a working code means digging through dead threads and 2019 blog posts. Every program here gets a page like this — the reward for both sides up front, codes ranked by worked votes, dead ones paused, a real sharer behind every code.

Launch queue

Name the first referral program on the board

This board fills up with the programs visitors ask for. Nobody has named one yet, so the first name goes straight to the top.

Request a referral program

Paste the brand’s website or referral link — for a brand with several programs, paste the link of the one you want. Add your email only if you want a note the day its codes go live.

  1. next open slot

Real request counts, nothing padded. Programs go up after a quick check; the top of the board opens first.

How the board works

  1. Paste a brand site or referral link into the slip.
  2. We check it runs a live referral program, then it goes up as a slat.
  3. Every request for a listed program adds to its count — the most-requested open first.

People often ask for

Referral code 101

What a referral code is — and what it isn’t

A referral code is a personal invite a brand gives an existing customer to share. When someone new signs up with it, the program usually rewards both people: the newcomer gets a welcome bonus, and the sharer gets cash, credit, or a commission once the newcomer qualifies. It is not a coupon. A coupon pays one side and belongs to nobody; a referral code is tied to a real account and pays the person behind it.

Anatomy of a referral code

Six parts every listing on this directory will carry, shown on the same kind of ticket you’ll copy from at launch. The code is a placeholder — nothing here is live.

1 A named sharer A real person’s name and profile behind the code, not an anonymous drop. Spam is one tap away from someone accountable.
2 The code itself The string you paste. Formats vary by brand — some are a name plus digits, some are random letters — so copy it exactly, hyphens included.
3 Copy, no account One tap puts the code on your clipboard. Copying never needs an account on this directory.
4 Reward for both sides What you get and what the sharer gets, stated before you copy. Those two halves are what make it a referral code rather than a promo code.
5 Qualifying terms The action that unlocks the reward — a first order, a deposit, an identity check — plus any country or time limit, written where you can see it.
6 Worked / didn’t votes Every copy is followed by one tap. Codes sort by that, and a code people report as dead is paused and shown as paused, never deleted quietly.

Referral code vs invite link vs promo code vs coupon

Feature Referral code Invite link Promo code Coupon
Rewards the person who shares it Yes — that’s the point Yes — the same program in link form No — the brand issues it No
Rewards the person who uses it Usually a welcome bonus Usually the same bonus A discount or bonus A discount
Tied to a real person’s account Yes Yes No — brand-wide No — brand-wide
Where it goes Referral or invite field at sign-up Nowhere — the link fills the field Promo field at checkout or sign-up Checkout, or printed for in-store use
Needs a new account Almost always Almost always Not usually No
Listed on this directory Yes Yes — as the code behind the link No — coupon sites do that No

Typical behaviour across programs. Each program page states its own rules.

Ten terms you’ll see on program pages

A personal invite string a brand gives an existing customer. Rewards both sides when a newcomer signs up with it.
The existing customer whose code is shared. Paid once the newcomer qualifies.
The new customer who signs up with the code. Gets the welcome bonus.
What the newcomer must do before either reward is released: a first order, a deposit, an identity check.
The referee’s side of the reward — a discount, credit, or cash on the first qualifying action.
The referrer’s side — cash, credit, or a commission released when the referee qualifies.
The window in which a code or its reward can still be claimed. Programs change these without notice.
A program that only accepts sign-ups from certain countries. A code used from elsewhere is rejected.
A code this directory has stopped showing after didn’t-work reports. Shown as paused, never deleted quietly.

Where it goes

Where to enter a referral code (and what to do when it’s rejected)

Four places a referral or invite field usually hides. Each frame is a typical layout, not a specific brand.

On the sign-up form

The most common spot. Look for a field marked referral code, invite code, or promo code on the form where you create the account — often folded under a small “Have a code?” link so it doesn’t clutter the page. Enter it before you submit: many programs only read the field on that first screen and won’t let you add one afterwards.

When it’s rejected

  • No field on the form Scroll to the bottom or tap “Have a code?” — the field is often collapsed.
  • Code rejected Retype it by hand; a copied code can carry a trailing space or a look-alike character.
  • Already registered Most programs won’t apply a code to an existing account. Check the program’s terms before trying again.

At checkout, on the first order

Shops and delivery apps often skip the sign-up field and ask at the basket instead. The referral field sits with the payment summary, sometimes sharing a box with promo codes. Apply it before you pay: the welcome bonus is usually a discount or credit on that first order, and it can’t be added once the order has gone through.

When it’s rejected

  • Promo box says invalid Some carts keep promo and referral codes in separate boxes — look for a second field.
  • Discount didn’t appear Check the minimum order, and whether the bonus posts after delivery rather than at checkout.
  • Already ordered once First-order bonuses are one per account; the code only counts on the very first purchase.

Inside the app, after you install

Fintech and crypto apps often ask for the code after the account exists, on a screen like Rewards, Invite friends, or Settings. The field may be labelled “Enter a code” or “Got a referral code?”. The reward still waits for the qualifying action — a deposit, a verified identity, a first trade — so entering the code is the start of the process, not the end of it.

When it’s rejected

  • Can’t find the screen Search the app’s settings or profile for referral, invite, or rewards.
  • Window closed Many apps only accept a code for a limited time after registration — the program’s terms give the cut-off.
  • Reward pending Complete the qualifying action first; the bonus usually posts after it, not on entry.

Reward types

Six ways a referral program pays — and how each one lands

Every program page on the directory will be tagged with one of these, so you know what is coming — and what has to happen first — before you copy.

  • Cash

    What it is
    Money paid to a linked bank account, card, or wallet, or held as a cash balance inside the app.
    Usual trigger
    Released after the qualifying action clears — a deposit that stays put, a first payment, a verified identity.
    Watch out for
    Often carries a hold period before it can be withdrawn. The terms say how long the deposit has to stay.
  • Discount

    What it is
    A percentage or fixed amount off the newcomer’s first order or subscription.
    Usual trigger
    Applied at checkout the moment the code is accepted.
    Watch out for
    Often one-time and tied to a minimum spend, and it rarely stacks with other promotions.
  • Credits

    What it is
    A balance inside the app — ride credit, delivery credit, store credit — spendable only with that brand.
    Usual trigger
    Posted after the first completed order or ride, sometimes split across several.
    Watch out for
    Credits expire, and many can’t be put toward fees or tips. Check what they actually apply to.
  • Freebies

    What it is
    A physical or digital item: a free month, a free share, an add-on to the product.
    Usual trigger
    Sent once the newcomer qualifies, or unlocked in the account.
    Watch out for
    The item is often chosen by the brand rather than by you. The terms describe what is on offer.
  • In-app rewards

    What it is
    Perks that live inside the product: premium features, raised limits, badges, or points.
    Usual trigger
    Unlocked when the newcomer signs up or reaches a first milestone.
    Watch out for
    Worth what the product is worth to you — there is no cashing out.
  • Mixed

    What it is
    A program that pays in more than one form, or pays each side differently: cash to the sharer, a discount to the newcomer.
    Usual trigger
    Each half follows its own rule. The program page spells out both.
    Watch out for
    Read the two sides separately — the newcomer’s trigger and the sharer’s trigger are often different actions.

By category

What each day-one shelf usually pays

Banking

Shelf 01

Checking bonuses and invite cash

Bank and neobank referrals usually pay cash to both sides, released once the newcomer’s account is funded and a direct deposit or a run of card payments has cleared. Expect an identity check first and often a hold before the money can be withdrawn. Region locks are common: a program usually accepts sign-ups only from the country it operates in.

Crypto

Shelf 02

Exchange and wallet referrals

Exchange and wallet referrals pay in cash, a fee discount, or a small amount of a coin, released after identity verification and a first trade or deposit. Terms move often as regulation changes, and many programs are unavailable in some countries. The program page states where a code works.

Food delivery

Shelf 03

First-order invite credits

Delivery apps pay in credit toward first orders, often split across several orders with a minimum basket on each. The sharer’s side lands after the newcomer’s first delivery completes. Credits expire, and they usually don’t cover fees or tips, so the headline amount is worth less than it reads.

Travel

Shelf 04

Stays, rides, and booking invites

Stays, rides, and booking platforms pay in travel credit or a discount on a first booking, with the sharer usually paid once that trip is completed — not booked. Cancellations usually reverse both sides. Credits often carry an expiry and a minimum booking value, and ride credit tends to be limited to the newcomer’s region.

Shopping

Shelf 05

Store credit when a friend buys

Store referrals pay a discount or store credit on the newcomer’s first order, and credit to the sharer once the order ships or the return window closes. Codes are usually one per account and don’t stack with sitewide sales. Check whether the sharer’s credit is spendable anywhere or only with that store.

  5. Reviewed

    Anything off is one tap to report. A person reads every report; every action is logged.

Referral code sharing site

Share or promote your referral code online — a free listing on the brand’s own page

A referral code sharing site is a directory where people who hold a referral code list it and people who need one come to copy it. Unlike a post in a forum, group, or thread, a listing is filed under the brand, ranked by whether the code worked, and doesn’t sink as newer posts arrive. Referral Code Share is one — free to list, free to copy, one code per program per sharer, with your name on it. People also call the same thing a referral code website, platform, marketplace, or community — the terms below say how they differ.

What listing here does that a post can’t

  • Filed under the brand

    Your code sits on the page for that program — where people searching for that brand’s code land — not in a thread they have to find.

  • Ranked by worked, not by post time

    Codes sort by worked / didn’t-work votes. A code that works rises; it doesn’t sink under newer posts.

  • Posting a referral code is the point

    So it can’t be removed for being one. Referral code promotion is what the page is for; post your referral code once, and the rules are short: one code per program per sharer, both rewards stated, your name on it.

  • Your name on every copy

    Your handle links to your profile from every code you list, and every vote on it lands in your activity feed.

How to promote your referral code here

  1. Join as a sharer

    One email, no fees. Pick the sharer gate and you’re in line for the sharer call.

  2. List first — 72 hours before launch

    Sharers get the call to list before the launch email goes out. The first code on a brand page keeps the top slot while the page is new.

  3. Post once, state both sides

    One code per program. Write what the newcomer gets and what you get, then leave it — every copy is followed by a worked / didn’t tap that ranks it for you.

Referral code marketplace, exchange, or sharing site?

Referral code sharing site
A directory where codes are listed by brand for anyone to copy, free. That is what this is.
Referral code marketplace
Often the same thing under a commercial name; on some, placement or the codes themselves are sold. Nothing is bought or sold here — listing and copying are both free.
Referral code exchange
A swap — you use my code, I use yours — usually in a thread, so each code is used once by the swapper. At launch, each program page here also carries a referral code exchange board — a per-program exchange platform where codes are shown in random order.

Sharer playbook

Where to post referral codes — and how to share yours without spamming

Most codes never get used because they are posted where nobody is looking for one, or posted where the rules remove them. The best place to share a referral code is wherever people are already looking for one. Here is where sharers usually post or promote a referral code online for free, what each place is actually like, and how to share yours without it reading as spam.

Places to post a referral code online — subreddits, groups, social media, sharing sites — and what each is actually like

Channel Free to post How long it stays visible Who sees it Rules & removal
Subreddits Free Threads sink as newer posts arrive; some communities keep a pinned megathread People browsing that community, plus whatever search engines index Many subreddits ban referral code posts outright; others confine them to a pinned megathread. Posting elsewhere in those communities gets the post removed and can get the account banned.
Facebook groups Free Feed order — newer posts push yours down Group members only; closed groups are invisible to search Admins set the rules; many groups forbid self-promotion and remove referral code posts.
X (Twitter) Free Effectively gone once it leaves followers’ feeds Your followers, and anyone searching the exact brand name Allowed, but repeated identical referral code posts can be flagged as spam.
Quora answers Free Answers persist and can keep ranking in search People asking that exact question Promotional answers, referral links and affiliate links are restricted; answers that read as adverts can be collapsed.
Your own blog or page Free if you already have one; hosting otherwise As long as you keep it up Only the readers you can bring in by search or sharing Your rules — but disclosure rules for earning from referral links still apply.
Discord & Telegram groups Free Scrolls out of view within hours in an active channel Members of that server or group; invisible to search Server rules vary — many keep a promo channel and delete referral code posts anywhere else.
Code-exchange threads Free Until the thread is archived or locked Other sharers looking to swap, rarely people who only want to join Swap-for-swap by convention; a referral code is used once by the person swapping, then sits.
Other referral code sharing sites Usually free; some charge for placement Until the listing is removed or paused People who came looking for a code for that program Each site sets its own. Check whether dead referral codes are removed and whether listings carry a real name.
This directory Free Until it stops working — dead codes are paused, not buried Visitors on that brand’s page, filtered to the countries the program covers One code per program per sharer, your name on it, the reward stated up front. Anything off is one tap to report.

How to share a referral code without spamming

  1. Post where people are looking for one

    A code sent to people who didn’t ask for it is spam wherever it lands. Put it where seekers already are: a megathread built for codes, a question that asks for one, or a directory page for that brand.

  2. Say what both sides get

    Write the newcomer’s bonus and your own reward next to the code. A code with only one side stated reads as a coupon and gets skipped.

  3. Name the qualifying action

    A first order, a deposit, an identity check — whatever unlocks the reward. People who know the trigger finish it; people who don’t ask why nothing arrived.

  4. State the expiry and the region

    If the program closes the window or only accepts certain countries, say so. It saves the didn’t-work votes that would otherwise pause your code.

  5. One code per program

    Post the one code the brand gave you, once. Duplicate listings split your votes, and most places treat them as spam.

  6. Disclose that you earn

    If you are paid when someone uses your code, say so where you post it. In the United States the FTC’s Endorsement Guides treat that as a material connection that has to be disclosed; other countries have similar rules. This is a note on the rules, not legal advice.
