Referral Play · Member to promoter

Turn members into a verified referral engine.

A member shares a personal link. Their friend verifies their own number. Only then does anyone get paid.

The referrer hub is private and gated behind SMS, so no list is shared and no reward is released on an unverified name. Both sides are consented, and the referral is attributed to one first-party record.

How it fires

Three ways in. Same verified record.
Data feed The join posts from the club system and the referrer is paid automatically, with no screen for either party to complete.
QR code A code in the club or on a welcome card opens the member’s own referrer hub, gated behind SMS.
Sent link The hub link is sent by text or email after a milestone, so a member can share from anywhere.

What the person sees

Real screens from the live experience
Referral flow — referrer SMS, consent, referral hub, friend lands, friend verifies, reward ready

What the referrer sees after the friend verifies

Four screens

The friend’s two verification screens are what release the referrer’s reward. Seconds later the referrer gets a text, and the value is sitting in their Vault ready to spend.

It lands in their Vault, ready to spend on a gift card.
Friend verifies → reward text → Vault
1

Referrer SMS → consent → hub

The member verifies their own number before the hub opens. That first verification is what makes every referral underneath it attributable.

2

Friend lands → friend verifies

The friend enters a six-digit code sent to their own phone. Until that code clears, the lead does not exist and nothing is attributed to anyone.

3

Verified lead triggers the referrer reward

The verified lead is a payable step in its own right. The referrer is paid for the introduction, before any join, because the verification proves a real person on the other end.

Reward structure

Two payments to the referrer and one to the friend. The lead-stage reward pays for sharing; the conversion rewards hold until first billing.

Opted-in lead Paid to the referrer when the friend verifies and consents $5
Referred join Paid to the referrer when the membership starts $20
New member Paid to the friend for joining $10
Starting configuration for discussion. Values are set per customer, and every reward is paid on activation — no engagement, no reward fee.

A reward can sit on any action

The three above are the starting set, not the limit. Any action the club can verify can carry its own reward, on either side of the referral, and staff can be paid on the same triggers.

Verified lead, to the referrer
Pays the moment the friend verifies and consents, before any conversion. It rewards the share itself, which is the step most programs leave unpaid.
Conversion, to the referrer and the friend
On the join, pay one side, the other, or both. Double-sided keeps the ask easy to make, since the friend is getting something too.
Staff, on the same verified trigger
The employee who took the tour or closed the join is tracked and paid alongside the member, from the same record. Staff totals report separately from member payouts.
Adding a reward to an action raises the rate at which that action happens. Because funds only move on a verified trigger, an action nobody completes costs nothing.
Two demos, two sides
Scan either side to run it end to end.
Demo 1 · The member side

A member verifies their referral hub and learns how to start earning.

Scan to open the referral demo
Scan with your phone to run the live experience end to end. Same link works on desk cards and in decks.
Demo 2 · The friend side

The verified referrer adds a friend by SMS, and the friend becomes a first-party opt-in on their own phone.

Scan to open the referral friend-side demo
Scan to run the friend side end to end — named invitation, SMS verification, and the reward.

Run this Play.

Promotion Vault will apply your brand, set the reward values, and put Rewards Vault underneath it. Most customers run this Play as built.
