How it works
1. Share your link
Every ScanBids account ships with a personal referral link. Share it anywhere — Reddit, Discord, your YouTube channel, group texts.
2. They sign up
When someone joins through your link, both of you get an extra 14 days on your free trial. Even if they never upgrade.
3. They upgrade — you get paid
When your referral upgrades to any paid tier, you start earning. Free months, then cash payouts, then tier-locked benefits.

Tips from our top referrers.
A few patterns from the people earning the most.
Frequently asked
When do I get paid?+
Free months are credited automatically the moment your referral upgrades. Cash payouts are sent monthly via Stripe Connect (or PayPal on request) once you cross the $25 threshold.
Do referrals expire?+
No. Once someone signs up through your link, they're permanently attributed to you. If they upgrade six months later, you still get the credit.
Can I refer myself with a second account?+
Please don't — we detect duplicate IPs, payment methods, and devices. Self-referrals get clawed back and can result in your account being closed.
Is there a cap on how many people I can refer?+
Nope. The top 1% of referrers each bring in hundreds of paid users every year — we wouldn't cap them, and we won't cap you.
What if my referral asks for a refund?+
If a referral refunds within the first 30 days, the corresponding reward is reversed. After 30 days, the reward is yours to keep.
Are there special rules for influencers or content creators?+
Yes — we'd love to talk. Reach out to partnerships@scanbids.com if you have a meaningful audience and we'll set you up with custom landing pages, higher payouts, and co-marketing.
