Bonusboy
Invite friends: the $1 bonus and the 1 to 10% share, with the exact rules
Referral programs are where reward apps most often hide the catch, so here are Bonusboy's rules in full, including the ones that limit the payout.
The fixed bonus: $1 per friend
- Your friend installs Bonusboy and enters your invite code within 7 days of signing up (the code can also travel in the install link).
- Your friend earns from surveys and offers until $2.00 of their rewards are withdrawable, meaning the partners have paid Bonusboy for them.
- You receive $1.00. Once per friend, no cap on the number of friends.
The bonus comes out of Bonusboy's own share of what the friend earned, so it can never cost the friend anything and can never exceed what the friend brought in. Because it waits for the withdrawable step, it follows the partner payment cycle: a friend who joins this month triggers the bonus a few months later at the earliest.
The share: 1% to 10% of friends' later earnings
Once you have at least 5 invited friends who have earned something, you also receive a percentage of each friend's direct earnings (surveys, offers and games, not cashback) beyond their first $2.00, calculated when those earnings become withdrawable. The percentage depends on how many earning friends you have:
| Earning friends | Your share |
|---|---|
| 5 | 1% |
| 10 | 2% |
| 20 | 3% |
| 30 | 4% |
| 50 | 5% |
| 100 (with at least $2 earned each) | 6% |
| 500 (with at least $2 earned each) | 7% |
| 1,000 (with at least $2 earned each) | 10% |
The level only goes up, never down, and it is not applied retroactively. Amounts below one cent are carried forward. From the 100-friend level, a friend only counts if they have earned at least $2 themselves, so a crowd of accounts that each did one survey cannot push the rate up.
What does not count
- Friends who signed up but never earned. Most people who install an app for a code never complete a task; they count for nothing until they do.
- Codes posted on public forums, coupon sites or Telegram groups. Sign-ups from strangers who install for a code almost never earn, so the bonus is never triggered, and large numbers of sign-ups from unrelated addresses are reviewed.
- Your own second account. One account per person and per device; duplicate accounts and their referrer are closed.
- Cashback earnings of friends; the share applies to surveys, offers and games only.
How to invite
The Invite screen shows your code, a share link, and a counter of friends who joined and friends who are earning. The link opens the Play Store with your code attached, so friends do not have to type it. Share it with people who actually want to try the app; that is the only way the numbers above turn into money.
Quick answers
What do I get for inviting a friend?
$1.00 once the friend has $2.00 of withdrawable rewards from surveys and offers, plus, once five or more of your invited friends are earning, a share of 1% to 10% of their later earnings. Both are paid from Bonusboy's share; your friend loses nothing.
When is the $1 paid?
When the friend's rewards become withdrawable, which depends on partner deposits. Partners pay 1 to 5 months after a task, so a friend who joins today triggers the bonus months later, not the same week.
Does my friend get anything?
The friend gets the normal $1 first-mission bonus when their first task is confirmed, like every member. Entering your code does not reduce anything for them.
