How do I refer a friend to Greenlight?

Spreading the word about Greenlight with your friends and family is one of the best ways to earn extra cash. Everyone you invite gets rewarded too!

What are the referral rewards?

Both you and the friend you invite can earn cash rewards through our referral program!

• You earn $50 for every friend you refer, up to $600 per calendar year
  • Once you reach that limit you will no longer be able to receive further rewards until the next calendar year
• Your referred friend receives $30 when they sign up and meet the reward criteria

Tip: Keep an eye out for special promotions, too. Greenlight occasionally runs limited-time offers with boosted referral rewards!

What counts as a successful referral?

Referral rewards aren't issued at sign-up but they're worth the wait! For a referral to qualify, the friend you invited needs to:

1. Sign up for Greenlight using your unique referral link
2. Be a Greenlight customer for 35 days
3. Pay at least one monthly fee

Once all three are met, both you and your friend will each see your rewards in your Greenlight Wallets within 2 weeks!

How does my teen receive their referral reward?

When your teen earns a referral reward, it's sent to the Primary Accountholder for approval. Once approved, the reward is deposited into your Greenlight Wallet. 

From there, the Primary Accountholder or Authorized Approver can transfer the reward to their account — or they can request the funds from you themselves!
