[Expired] Drop App: $50 Bonus for Referring Five Friends ($5 Signup Bonus for New Members)

This deal has expired, view more Drop deals here.

The Offer

The Drop app is sending out a special referral offer:

  • Get $50 when you refer 5 friends who join and link a card.

The new member gets a $5 bonus (5,000 points) as well.

Check your emails for this offer. You can find your referral code by clicking the heart button at the top-left corner in the app. (Note, the offer does not seem to be showing there, only in the email.)

The Fine Print

  • Friends must link a card to Drop and confirm their account via email.
  • Promotion runs through May 30.
  • $50 in Drop points will be awarded to you on May 31st.
  • Promotion capped at $50 per 5 referrals.

Our Verdict

I got an email about this offer – I think it’s public for everyone (?).

Appreciate anyone who uses our referral code: doctorofcredit. The Drop app is worth giving a whirl given the occasional offers, portal opportunities, and card-link offers. For example, they still have an offer to get $2 per $1k in Plastiq payments. 

It’s interesting that the  bonus for the new member was initially $1, but now it’s showing as $5. I’m not sure when it went up to $5 – that seems to be a development not related to this $50 referral offer, but it can make it more enticing to get friends to signup.

There’s no benefit for referring more than five friends, so posting referrals either here or on another thread should be fine.

No, they are not ok here, please stop this!! There are dedicated referral posts with instructions you have to follow, that’s the only place referral links go. If the post doesn’t say “post your referral links in the comments” DON’T DO IT!

Bad experience with drop. They stopped updating my points and took them 2 months to reply to my emails. They suspended my account for MS – which I don’t do lol

They did the same to me but reinstated my account and gave me all my points except 1 vgc from Walgreens. They even gave me all my points for vgc from walmart.

Same.

Making 5-10 <$5 book purchases on amazon weekly and they stopped crediting all points. A few weeks after emailing they stated I was running a business (false)

I delinked and relinked as the email said. Still nothing. Than they said I was doing MS or some other abuse (only abusing amazon's $1 off digital credit for no rush shipping)

Than they stopped responding. Been about 2 months since last contact.

Sitting right at 9700 points or so, so conveniently for them they won't be paying out.

The same issue here. They are denying points from grocery shopping and everyday purchases. I have emailed them several times with no response. I have multiple cards linked but no luck getting any points. I am not using them anymore.

Got it too. Dare I ask if we’re allowed to post referrals? After the Chime fiasco, I will assume not.

I got it, too, must be public… make sure you get credit for your referrals. I’ve had several people use my code and I didn’t get any points for it… have a blessed day!!
