# Referral Program

Invite friends to Crew and both of you earn credits.

## How It Works

1. **Get your referral link** from the Billing page
2. **Share it** with friends, colleagues, or anyone who might find Crew useful
3. **Both of you earn credits** when they sign up and when they upgrade

## Rewards

| Event                    | You (Referrer) | They (Referee) |
| ------------------------ | -------------- | -------------- |
| **Sign up**              | 1,000 credits  | 1,000 credits  |
| **Upgrade to paid plan** | 5,000 credits  | 5,000 credits  |

### Example

You invite 5 friends. All 5 sign up (= 5,000 credits for you). 2 of them upgrade to a paid plan (= 10,000 credits for you).

**Total earned: 15,000 credits** — that's roughly 2,500 AI conversations.

## Finding Your Referral Link

1. Go to **Billing** in the sidebar
2. Scroll to the **Referral** section
3. Copy your unique referral link (format: `https://crew.you/?ref=YOURCODE`)

Your referral code is a unique 8-character code assigned to your account.

## Tracking Referrals

The Billing page shows:

* **Total Invites**: How many people signed up using your link
* **Paid Conversions**: How many referred users upgraded to a paid plan
* **Total Earned**: Total credits earned from referrals
* **History**: List of referred users with their status (signed up / converted)

## Rules

* You can't refer yourself (same email detection)
* Each person can only use one referral link
* Credits are granted instantly upon qualifying action
* Referral credits are added as bonus credits (carry over month-to-month)

## Tips for Sharing

* **Share with colleagues**: If Crew helps you at work, it'll probably help your coworkers too
* **Social media**: Post your link on Twitter, LinkedIn, or relevant communities
* **Show, don't tell**: Demonstrate a cool Crew feature and share your link alongside it
* **Be genuine**: Share what you actually use Crew for — authentic recommendations convert better
