We’ve gotten a lot of requests to extend our referral program to our send bitcoin via email feature. We agree and think that sending someone some bitcoin to their email address is the best way to refer someone new to Bitcoin. So, starting today, if you send bitcoin to someone new via email, you will get a $5 referral bonus if they create an account and end up buying or selling at least one bitcoin.

The referral bonus is double-sided, so both you and the user you referred get $5 worth of bitcoin when they activate their account and buy or sell at least one bitcoin.

This even works through our API. So if you send someone bitcoin through one of our mobile apps, the SMS Service, or even our Reddit Tip Bot, you’ll automatically get the same referral bonus.
