Introducing RunPod’s New and Improved Referral Program
Referring friends to RunPod just got much easier. From now until the end of the year (December 31st, 2024), we've removed all eligibility requirements for the referral program and increased the referral commission from 2% to 3% on GPU Pods and from 0% to 5% on Serverless.
No More Minimum Referrals
Previously, you needed to refer at least 25 users, and those referrals had to cumulatively spend more than $500 to start earning a referral commission. Today, we're getting rid of that requirement.
Now, anyone can start earning a commission on their referrals from day one. To get started, simply navigate to the referrals page and copy your unique referral link.
Increased Referral Commission
When you refer someone to RunPod and they spend their credits, you’ll get a 5% commission on Serverless spend and a 3% commission on Pod spend. For example, if you refer a friend who spends $1,000 on Serverless in their first month, you’ll earn $50 in RunPod credits.
Additionally, you can earn a 1% commission for runtime in RunPod Credits for every penny spent using your template. For example, if 20 users use your Pod Template at $0.54/hr for a Week, then you earn $18.14 in RunPod Credits.
| Referral Type | New Commission |
|---|---|
| Serverless | 5% |
| Pod | 3% |
| Template | 1% |
Important note: commissions are calculated as a percentage of credits used, not credits purchased. So if your friend purchases $1000 in credits, you won't receive a commission until they use them.
How It Works
- Share Your Link: Share your unique referral link with friends, colleagues, or anyone who could benefit from using RunPod. Referrals are only valid when the referred user creates a new account using your referral link. If your referral already had a RunPod account, you won't receive a commission for referring them.
- Earn Credits: When your referral spends their RunPod credits, you'll earn a commission.
Enjoy Your Rewards: Enjoy your commission earnings until the end of this year. Based on the success of this program, we'll either continue running it as it is, or change the rewards structure.
