Earning with Referrals

In the process of updating, 02/06

Once you've chosen a rewards program, or a couple of them, you may be so enthusiastic that you want to spread the word to your friends. One little-known feature of many rewards programs is the option to refer new members. If you have a favorite rewards program and you think a friend might be interested in joining, some programs will have a form for you to fill out with your friend's name and email address (or they may have a special, personalized link that you can email to people on your own)...and when your friends join and make a purchase, you'll get points or some other kind of perk for it!
