FAQ - Referrals at EarnIn

Earn rewards for inviting friends to join EarnIn! There are two ways to refer someone:

  1. Find the referral icon on the top left of the home screen. 
  2. Go to Settings and tap Refer a friend. 

How do referrals work?

EarnIn offers referral incentives when someone you refer signs up using your referral link/code. Incentives are deposited into your Tip Yourself account

When you refer someone, they choose their EarnIn products: Cash Out and/or Early Pay. 

Your referral gets a Tip Yourself deposit reward for each product they sign up for. 

If they choose Cash Out

  • You'll get your reward via a Tip Yourself deposit when a new community member you refer transfers out. 

If they choose Early Pay

  • You'll get your reward via a Tip Yourself deposit when a new community member’s direct deposit lands in their deposit account. 

After activating your referral link, you have 45 days to complete the referral actions above before the incentive expires.
