How it works
Three steps to double your earnings.
1
Share your referral link
Send your unique Pennies referral link to a friend. You'll find it in your account dashboard once you're signed in. There's no limit to how many friends you can refer.
2
Your friend signs up and searches
Your friend creates a Pennies account using your link and makes at least 5 searches within their first month. That's all they have to do — no purchases, no clicks, nothing extra.
3
You earn 2× for a full month — or 3× if you're on a streak
Once your referral qualifies (5 searches in month one), your per-search earnings double from $0.003 to $0.006 for the next 30 days. Months stack — 3 referrals means 3 months of 2× earnings. Reach 10 total referrals and every bonus month upgrades to 3× ($0.009/search).

Referral rules & details
- Your friend must sign up using your unique referral link to count toward your bonus.
- Your friend must make at least 5 searches within their first calendar month after signing up.
- Each qualifying referral adds one full month of bonus earnings to your account.
- Months stack — multiple referrals run consecutively, not simultaneously.
- Your first 9 qualifying referrals earn you a 2× bonus ($0.006/search). Your 10th referral (and beyond) upgrades all future bonus months to 3× ($0.009/search).
- The bonus applies only to your per-search earnings. Your friend earns at the standard rate.
- Referral bonuses are not retroactive — they apply to searches made after the referral qualifies.
- Referral abuse (e.g. creating fake accounts) will result in account suspension and forfeiture of earnings.
- Pennies reserves the right to modify or end the referral program at any time with reasonable notice.
