Topic Wiki

Looks like this may be DEAD. Reports that the referral changed to $10 for the referrer and $10 for the referee.

Conga chain:
1) Use the referral link below to open a coinbase account.
2) Edit the Wiki (EDIT button above) and copy the following text "WAIT - IN PROCESS OF SIGNING UP", and paste it below the current link.
3) Buy at least $100 in bitcoin
4) Get your referral link from coinbase and replace the current link below. Remove the line you pasted.
Once the next person uses it to buy at least $100 in Bitcoin, you receive $75
5) You can withdraw the bitcoin to your bank account. Keep in mind that the exchange rate does fluctuate.
ONLY NEW ACCOUNTS ARE ELIGIBLE. PLEASE DON'T POST UNLESS YOU'RE SIGNING UP A NEW ACCOUNT WITH REFERRAL LINK LISTED HERE.

You can get a report of referral activity here:
https://www.coinbase.com/reports
Click New Report and select Referral History as report type. Then download the Excel report.

Current valid referral link:

I've been using coinbase for a while and BH have had a very pleasant overall experience. If anyone has any questions about coinbase or bitcoin/bitcoin trading, I'll be happy to help. On a side note, my coinbase link is: https://www.coinbase.com/join/5595adf932653300c9000117

As requested by OP, please do not use my link (I can't remove it myself now), as I didn't realize that I had to continue the conga line. I already had this account for months...

Thank you y0ni. My link (quoted below) still hasn't been used, so if anyone wants to make $75 use that link and then post your link to this thread.

Ok I'm next in line https://www.coinbase.com/join/55ef2818f80fe00081000117

Why not keep a wiki.  Each person uses the referral in the wiki and then replaces it with his own referral link.

I used to use Coinbase and their exchange extensively. They are one of the leaders in the field, very legit. That said, Bitcoin's model lends to fraud, as seen in MTGox.
I believe this is Overstock.com's Bitcoin processor - you can Google it.

Question: Can we just open a million accounts??? Or do they verify anything? (yes I have an account but I don't recall)

Which is why I'm taking the $ and cashing out asap.

If you really want to invest in bitcoins, you'll want to get your own wallet. The coinbase "wallet" does not physically belong to you, therefore if they crash, you do not have any actual bitcoins.

You can read more here: https://m.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2wnspl/psa_youre_using_coinbase_circle_etc_wrong/

They claim to verify, but we don't know how much verification is going on http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=55454.msg1258939.msg#1258939

If you do it in CAD... you'll be depositing $75.82 and paying $1.00 and getting $75

Your bank doesn't have foreign fees?

I don't see a way on their site to do CAD anyway. And its not like it costs more to deposit $100 than $75.82 necessarily, just wanted to point it out.

Has anyone actually done this? I opened a second account and they want my bank info to deposit... I can't figure out how to do with only CC...

The cc is for backup in case your account doesn't have sufficient funds.

If you already have an account please don't add your code. The point is to give the last person in the list $75 credit and the next person uses your link so you get $75 and so on. NEW ACCOUNTS ONLY

Also, if they eventually charge your cc, you pay a %3 surcharge

If I open a new account with one of those links can I then add my link?

If you buy $100 in bitcoin as detailed in the wiki, yes.

When adding my referral to the wiki, should I erase the referral I used?

Good idea. That should help minimize confusion regarding which link to use.

Is there a way to be able to buy $100 worth right away? It says my limit is $50.

I used the current referral link. Do I have to wait to purchase $100 worth before adding my referral link?
