Refer a friend, earn €50

Written by

Got friends who keep saying they would love to study abroad too, but have no idea where to start? Now you can help them take that first step, and get something back for it. That is what the wearefreemovers referral program is all about: you share your code, a friend you know joins because of it, and when their journey abroad actually happens, you both walk away with cash in your pocket.

How it works

Simpler than it sounds

Once you complete your profile, you automatically get your own personal referral code and a link. From there, it is as easy as sharing that code with a friend who has been talking about studying abroad but has not taken the first step. If they sign up using your code or link and go on to enroll at one of our partner universities, you both get rewarded once they arrive at their host university and we receive our commission. There is no extra paperwork on your side, and no need to travel together or apply to the same place. You just point them in the right direction, and if it works out for them, it works out for you too.

How much you earn

When a university has the €50 referral badge on their listing page, the reward is simple: it’s €100 total, split €50 for you and €50 for your friend. Some of our partner universities do not currently offer the referral bonus, so before you share your code, it is worth checking your friend’s target university page for that badge. If it is not there, no bonus applies for that particular school, but plenty of our destinations are eligible for the bonus, and there is genuinely no cap on how many friends you can refer. Invite one friend, or ten. The more people you help get started, the more you both stand to earn.

The fair use rules

The program is built to reward students actually helping each other, so a few ground rules apply. Your friend needs to use your code/referral link during sign up, and their referral only counts once they have fully completed registration and are genuinely on their way abroad. If they drop out or never finish the process, the referral does not count. Self-referrals, fake accounts, and codes handed to people who already applied on their own are not allowed either. Basically, if the referral is real and your friend genuinely joined because of you, you are covered.

Getting paid

Once your friend has arrived at their host university and we have received the university’s payment, your reward lands within 30 days, no need to chase us for it. We pay out using the same method you chose for your own Confirmation Deposit, or another method we agree on together if that one does not work for you. If you have referred more than one friend, each reward follows its own timeline, tied to when that particular friend completes their move, so you do not need to wait for everyone to finish before the first payment lands. If anything looks off or delayed on your end, just reach out, we would rather sort it out quickly than leave you wondering.

Ready to refer someone

You do not need to travel together or even go to the same destination. You just help them take the first step, and if it works out, you both get this little bonus. Really, it can be anyone in your circle you would love to see living their own international life, even if your semesters never overlap.

Someone probably helped you get started too: a friend who shared a link, answered a question, or talked you down when the process felt overwhelming. Now it is your turn to do the same for someone else, and get something back for it. Sign up or log in to your profile to grab your personal referral code. It takes a minute, and it could make your friend’s year, and your bank account, a little happier.
