# Referral Program

> Refer a company to Ordinal and earn an Amazon gift card up to $200. Get 100% of their first month or 15% of their first year as a one-time reward.

Refer a company to Ordinal and earn an Amazon gift card up to \$200. The program is built into your workspace and pays out once the new customer starts a paid subscription.

## How it works

1. Open [Referrals](https://app.tryordinal.com/referrals) from the left sidebar (the gift icon)
2. Copy your personal referral link and share it with someone who could use Ordinal
3. When they sign up through your link and pay for a subscription, you earn a reward

## Rewards

| Plan the new workspace chooses | What you earn                     |
| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------- |
| **Monthly**                    | 100% of the first month's payment |
| **Annual**                     | 15% of the first year's payment   |

The maximum reward is up to \$200 per referral. Rewards are issued as Amazon gift card codes delivered to the email on your Ordinal account.

We process referral payouts every other week, so once a referee starts paying you'll receive your gift card shortly after the next payout cycle.

## Tracking your referrals

The Referrals page shows a table of everyone who signed up through your link, along with the current status of each referral:

| Status         | What it means                                                                 |
| -------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Signed Up**  | The user has made an Ordinal account but has not paid.                        |
| **Subscribed** | The user has paid for a subscription. Payouts are processed every other week. |
| **Expired**    | The user did not pay for a subscription within 90 days of signing up.         |
| **Paid Out**   | You've been paid for this referral. Check your email for the gift card code.  |

## Eligibility

* **Referrer:** You must have an active paid Ordinal subscription to qualify for the reward.
* **Referee:** The person you refer must be new to Ordinal, with no prior accounts or subscriptions under any email address.
* **Conversion window:** The new workspace must pay for a subscription within 90 days of signing up. After 90 days, the referral expires.
* **One reward per referee:** A single referee cannot generate multiple rewards by opening multiple accounts.

Full terms are available on the [Referrals](https://app.tryordinal.com/referrals) page under "terms, conditions, and limits."

## Looking for recurring commissions?

If you'd rather earn a percentage of every payment from referred customers instead of a one-time gift card, check out the [Affiliate Program](/referrals/affiliate). Affiliates earn 30% commission for 12 months and the customers they refer get 20% off for 3 months.
