How referrals work
You can invite others to join Bonsai and earn rewards when they subscribe.
What you get:
You earn 1 free month of Bonsai
The person you refer also gets 1 free month
When rewards are applied:
The referred user signs up using your unique referral link
They start a free trial
Once they convert to a paid subscription, your free month is awarded
Important:
The referred user receives their free month immediately
You receive your free month only after they become a paying customer
Referral reward application
Your free month is applied differently depending on your subscription plan.
Monthly Plan
Your next billing cycle will be $0 (free month applied automatically)
Annual Plan
Your free month is applied to your next renewal
Your renewal is prorated (e.g., you pay for 11 months instead of 12)
Note: No manual action is required, credits are applied automatically.
