Refer and earn

How the reward works

A qualifying referral gives you an extra 10 percentage points of your own earnings for that Wave. Your share becomes 70% instead of the usual 60%.

The person you refer must be active in that Wave and actually earn before you qualify. Signing up or joining the group alone is not enough.

This reward applies to the qualifying Wave. It is not a permanent change to your earnings share.

How to refer someone now

Referral links are now available in your Plinger workspace. Start with Referrals in the sidebar or mobile menu.

• 1

  Copy your referral link

  On the Referrals page, select Copy link. You can also see your referral code, your current Wave share, and the people you have referred. Share the full link so the person can open it directly.

• 2

  They sign up through your link

  Ask a new scouter to open your link before their first Plinger sign-in, then continue with their own GitHub account. They should finish signing in in the same browser where they opened the link. An existing Plinger account is not automatically added as a new referral.

• 3

  Help them get set up

  Share the Plinger account setup guide so they can install the GitHub App, add their PAT, and save their bank details. Invite them to the Plinger group for support.

• 4

  They participate, earn, and submit proof

  They need to take part in the same Wave and earn. Once their Drips withdrawal is completed, they should upload their withdrawal verification to Plinger. An admin must approve the proof and confirm that the withdrawal belongs to that Wave before the referral qualifies.

• 5

  Track your referral in Plinger

  Return to Referrals: People you referred to see their GitHub identity, date referred, Wave, and status. A qualifying referral unlocks the extra 10 percentage points on your own confirmed earnings for that Wave.

Referral rules and reward limits

A new scouter must complete signup through your link during the referral window for that Wave. Opening a link alone does not register a referral.

One or several qualifying referrals give you the same 10-percentage-point increase. Your share is capped at 70% for the qualifying Wave. Extra referrals do not stack and are not carried into future Waves.

The reward is based on your own earnings for that Wave, not the referred person's earnings. If you have no eligible earnings for that Wave, there is no bonus amount to pay. Each referred scouter can have one referrer, and you cannot refer yourself.

Withdrawal proof can be reviewed after the referral window closes. Your own withdrawal must also be confirmed and assigned to the same Wave for the increased share to appear in your earnings. Withdrawals from other Waves do not qualify for that bonus.

Understand your referral status

Awaiting proof: their completed withdrawal has not yet been approved and assigned to the relevant Wave. Signing up, joining the group, or having a pending Drips withdrawal is not enough.

Qualified: an admin has confirmed their completed withdrawal for that Wave. This referral counts toward your bonus for the same Wave.

+10% unlocked: you have at least one qualifying referral. Check Earnings for the amount due; this status does not mean the money has already been paid.

If your usual 60% share was already paid before you qualified, the additional 10% can be recorded separately. Check your earnings and contact the team if you need help with the outstanding bonus.

Earlier referrals or missing names

If you referred someone manually before using the link, or their signup is missing from your list, contact the team. Send your GitHub username, their GitHub username, and the date you referred them. An admin can review and record eligible referrals for the relevant Wave; sending a message does not automatically qualify you for the bonus.

You do not need to register every link signup on WhatsApp. Use your referral list to check that it was recorded. If a row shows a GitHub ID instead of a username, the referral record exists, but its username is not currently available.
