When is the referral bonus credited?
The Tiptrans referral bonus, currently $25, is credited when the friend you invited has their first package shipped. You both get it then; a registration alone doesn't count. How to share your link, check the bonus and use it.
The referral bonus, currently $25, is credited when the friend you invited has their first package shipped by Tiptrans. You and your friend both get the bonus at that moment. A registration alone doesn't count.
How the referral works
- Find your referral link in the Invite Friends box on the Account page of your dashboard. It is the address www.tiptrans.com/?ref= followed by your customer ID. Click the link to copy it, or use the share buttons below it.
- Your friend opens your link and creates a Tiptrans account in the same browser visit.
- When we ship your friend's first package, the bonus is added to both balances automatically, and you each get an email.
The bonus is currently $25 for you and $25 for your friend. The Invite Friends box always shows the current amount.
You get a bonus for every friend who signs up through your link and ships their first package. Your friend gets the bonus once.
How to check it
Sign in at Sign in and open Finance. The bonus appears as a credit whose note ends with NON REFUNDABLE.
How you can use it
The bonus becomes part of your balance. You can spend it on Tiptrans services, such as shipping, service fees or a plan upgrade. It can't be withdrawn or refunded. See Can I get my balance refunded?
Bonus missing?
- Check that your friend's first package has actually been shipped. Signing up, receiving packages or topping up doesn't trigger the bonus.
- If the package has been shipped and the bonus isn't in Finance, contact us with your customer ID and your friend's customer ID or package ID. If your friend signed up through your link, staff can credit the bonus by hand.
The referral bonus is separate from our commission-based programs for website owners. For those, see Affiliate Programs.
