With unemployment high and rising every day, more and more Americans are feeling the financial stress of lost income and bills to pay. If you're one of them, we can help: there are many companies that will pay a referral bonus for every friend you refer to use their services or buy their products, including our own! We have rounded up some of the best referral programs below.
1) Acorns
The investment app Acorns, which helps you invest small amounts of money, even spare change, for as little as $1 a month, is offering a referral promotion in May where for four successful referrals, users can earn $250. Their normal referral program offers $5 per successful referral (which results in a user investing $5 or more).
2) Shipt
The grocery delivery company shipt offers a $10 reward for every successful referral--and your friend will get $10 off an annual membership too! With many people staying home and having groceries delivered, friends will be happy to receive a discount.
Gabi is a free service that compares insurance rates to help you find the most affordable home and auto insurance. For every friend you refer who uses Gabi to get an auto insurance quote, you can get a $25 giftcard. Now is a great time to look for lower rates on insurance, since everyone is doing their best to save wherever they can.
4) Rakuten
The shopping website Rakuten, which offers cashback to shoppers who route their shopping with major retailers through the site and helps source promo codes and coupons for users, offers a referral program that is currently at $30. For every friend you refer who creates an account and buys something using it, you'll get a bonus.
5) Rewardable
Rewardable is an app that pays users to complete certain tasks, like completing surveys and watching videos (often for retailers). For every friend you refer to Rewardable, you'll receive $5o once they complete their first task. You'll also get a 10% bonus on their first 20 days of earnings with the app.
6) Skip
Here at Skip we have our own referral program. We are working hard to help thousands of people navigate loan applications, access government services and get critical information they need during the crisis--but we want to reach more. During the month of May, we'll give you $40 for every friend you refer that signs up for Skip Plus, up to $1000! If you love our services as much as we love providing them, we'd really appreciate it if you spread the word. You can refer from the Referrals Tab on your Skip Dashboard.
