$20 Bonus for Joining Upromise and for Referring

The Offer

Direct Link (if you can’t find the offer in your Upromise account, this direct link should work as well; doesn’t seem to be tied to anyone in specific)

The Upromise referral offer is back which offers $20 for referring others, and also $20 for new members:

• Refer-a-friend to the Upromise shopping portal and receive a $20 referral bonus after your friend makes a $20 purchase using the Upromise portal. Max 10 referrals for $200.
• Signup using a Upromise referral and receive a $20 bonus after you make a $20 purchase using the Upromise portal.

The offer popped up for me on the home page of Upromise.

Use the Direct Link above to refer others. Email is sent out instantly. (If you input your email address wrong, it won’t allow the referral to be sent.)

The Fine Print

• The $20 cash back offer is available for members who refer new valid Upromise members only.
• To get your $20 cash back, you must submit your friend’s email address through the link on the invitation page within 14 days of receiving the email. Your referred friend(s) must enroll in Upromise through the enrollment invitation within 30 days of receiving the invite and make a qualifying purchase of $20.00 or more within 30 days of his or her enrollment.
• A qualifying purchase includes making an eligible purchase with any of our 850+ online partners at Upromise.com, making a qualified dine at a participating restaurant location, shopping in-store offers using a registered credit card, and making a purchase using a registered Upromise MasterCard
• Your $20 cash back will be deposited into your Upromise account within 3 months of their first purchase.
• Maximum of 10 contributions per member, up to $200.

Our Verdict

Upromise pops up with this offer from time to time. The offers from last year mentioned an end-date of 12/31/15, so I’m guessing each year is separate and you can refer up 10 friends per calendar year to get $200.

Should be easy enough to meet the $20 purchase requirement. You can buy a $20 item on eBay, for example; note that all gift cards are officially excluded in the terms.

Feel free to offer referrals in the comments. Note that some people may have already done some referrals back in January, and that might have used up from their limit of 10 (assuming it goes per year).

On another note, I referred 10 people in 2015 and I never got a penny from them. The terms said that the money will come by April 2016 which has already passed. I’ll reach out to Upromise and see what they say.
