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:

Click New Report and select Referral History as report type. Then download the Excel report.

Looks like myself and @sddd used the same referral link (lucky you @dovy2 :) ), and @sddd updated the wiki right after me without ever using my code, what do I do now?

To avoid this reoccurring in the future, I think the wiki instructions should be that whoever creates new account should quickly put his referral link in ASAP

Does that make sense?

No. It takes time. He should write the word "WAIT" or something like that

Is everyone entering $100 in the Buy amount field? I saw another site trying to pitch their own referral link and they were telling everybody to purchase $101 of BC, presumably because there's a $1 transaction fee.

Yeah, I don't know if I'm overthinking this or not. I couldn't find any documentation on Coinbase's site. Maybe some users here who have been in touch with the user of their referral link would know. No biggie to pad a little though...

Update: I just chatted with Coinbase and they said a total purchase of $100 should be fine. Screenshot attached.

Added my link.
Did my brother first (was limited to 50), then myself (was able to do full 100)
He bought and then added address, while I did the reverse.
So when you make new account, skip the buy, and add address first

If anyone would like to make a little more off this, I am willing to buy however much bitcoin you bought for 5% above its current value. I can pay with Paypal.
Why bother taking life seriously?

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.
Mine shows that the guy signed up but says Not Eligible  -hopefully that's just because his order didn't complete yet.



Referral bonuses are only paid if the person you referred verifies their account and buys $100 of bitcoin or more. The buy has to complete (meaning the bitcoin is delivered). Buys can take up to four business days to complete. The amount can be a cumulative $100 (it can happen over multiple purchases). The payout will typically arrive about 10 minutes after this.
It can take some time for payments to go out, and they may not arrive immediately.
We check for duplicate or fake accounts and don't pay out referral bonuses on these accounts.
