How the referral program works
GiftDrive's referral program lets donors share a drive link after they give. When a new donor completes a qualifying donation through that referral, the original donor earns donation credit they can use on a future checkout.
How to share your referral link
- Complete a donation on GiftDrive.
- On the success page or in your referral dashboard, copy your personal share link.
- Send that link by text, email, or social media to people you think may want to donate.
How someone gets attributed to you
- If someone clicks your referral link, GiftDrive stores your referral code automatically during their checkout flow.
- If they already have a code saved, they can still replace it with another valid code before they pay.
- If they clear the code field before checkout, no referral is applied to that donation.
When you earn donation credit
- You earn $5 in donation credit for each successful referred donation.
- The referred donation must be at least $20 to qualify.
- You can earn up to $100 total in referral credit.
- Self-referrals do not qualify.
How to claim and use your credit
- If your referral reward is linked to your signed-in GiftDrive account, it becomes available automatically.
- If the reward was earned without an account attached, you can still claim it later from the email link while signed in to the matching email/account.
- Available credit is automatically applied on your next eligible checkout.
- Referral credit does not apply during guest checkout. If you earned credit as a guest, sign in or create an account with the same email before using it.
- GiftDrive applies claimed referral credit in $5 increments and never reduces the final card charge below the platform minimum.
Where to manage referrals
- Visit your referral dashboard from your profile to copy your link and track pending, available, and redeemed credit.
- The dashboard also shows recent referral activity so you can see which rewards are ready to use and which older rewards still need to be claimed.
