Promotion Vault Referral: Double-Sided Rewards + Lead Verification
Referral Rewards + Guest Pass

Keep the guest pass. Add rewards for the members who bring joins.

Your app's guest pass stays exactly as it is. Alongside it, Promotion Vault runs an opt-in rewards program that pays members a gift card when a friend they refer actually joins. Two tools, running side by side, with no change to your app.

See the difference How it runs
Two programs, side by side

Send a pass, or earn when they join.

Both can run at once. Members who just want to bring a friend in keep using the guest pass in your app. Members who want to earn when a friend joins opt into the rewards program.

The member's choice

One line tells a member which to use.

“If you want to easily send a guest pass to a friend, you can do it right in the app.”

“If you’d like to join the Promotion Vault rewards program and both earn when your friends join, activate your referral hub.”

The guest pass in-app needs no change. The rewards program is opt-in: a member verifies by 6-digit code, activates their hub, and starts earning. Nothing is forced, everything is tracked!

Why franchisees run both

Three reasons the rewards program sits well next to the app.

How the rewards program runs

Activate. Refer. Verify. Join.

A member activates their referral hub and becomes a REFERRER. For each lead who verifies and becomes a REFEREE, the REFERRER scratches a mystery reward of $2–$10. When the REFEREE joins, they earn a $10 reward and the REFERRER earns $20. Every reward is matched-back to the verified relationship the referral created.

No change to your stack

It runs alongside, not inside.

We don't change your app, and the program doesn't connect to your database. It runs as a parallel, opt-in layer: members activate a hub by QR, the friend verifies by SMS, and the join is matched from the New Member feed you already produce.

{{ r.title }}
{{ r.body }}
The trigger model

One invite, one link, one code.

Members opt in to refer by scanning a QR code at the club, or by accepting an SMS or email invite to their hub. The member's hub link carries the referral, SMS verification decides what counts as a lead, and the club's New Member feed matches the join back and releases the reward.

Opt in to refer QR · SMS · email

Opt in to refer

Members scan a QR code at the club to opt in to refer, or the club sends an SMS or email inviting them to their hub. The referral-hub text only goes out once the member has opted in to messaging.

Builds the hub, sets eligibility
Hub link Member-shared

Personal referral link

The member shares their own link or code. The friend lands on a named invitation and verifies by six-digit SMS code, which ties the lead back to that specific referrer.

Verified lead, $2–$10 mystery
New Member feed Daily

The join, matched back

The friend's join posts on the daily report. Rewards Vault matches it to the referral relationship and releases both rewards at once.

$20 referrer · $10 new member
Queued daily, processed automatically. No one at the club reconciles a referral list, verifies a lead by hand, or issues either reward manually.
Rewards clear after a 14-day hold. The New Member feed validates the join instantly, and both the referrer and the new member are notified they have a reward. Release is held at least 14 days from the join date, so the club is never on the hook for a member who cancels within their first 14 days.
The math

What each action costs.

Rewards are paid only on verified actions. The math assumes 75% of rewards are activated; the 25% that are not activated cost nothing. A 10% service fee applies to all rewards, activated or not. The cost to acquire each action includes every reward paid to get there.

Referral Rewards

An opt-in program that pays members a real gift card when a friend they refer joins. Double-sided, with a reward on the verified lead and the bigger reward on the join.

Members activate their referral hub from a new-member data feed or a QR code: the club drives sign-ups in its marketing, we send an invite when a member joins, and a QR code is always available.

Why franchisees run both

Three reasons the rewards program sits well next to the app.

You control who is eligible

You set the reward eligibility rules in Promotion Vault. Who qualifies as a referrer, which joins count, and when a reward releases are yours to decide, not inherited from a data feed.

Verified, not inferred

The guest-pass flow leans on ABC data for referral attribution, which can be problematic. Our program verifies the relationship directly, with first-party opt-in and SMS verification on both sides before anything pays.

Rewards the join, not just the visit

The guest pass is built for a visit. The rewards program pays on the outcome that grows the club, a friend who actually joins, so member effort points at revenue.

How the rewards program runs

Activate. Refer. Verify. Join.

A member activates their referral hub and becomes a REFERRER. For each lead who verifies and becomes a REFEREE, the REFERRER scratches a mystery reward of $2–$10. When the REFEREE joins, they earn a $10 reward and the REFERRER earns $20. Every reward is matched-back to the verified relationship the referral created.

Stage 01 of 03 Activate

The member activates their referral hub

A member scans the QR, opts in, and verifies by SMS. This creates the verified referrer record every later reward matches back to, with no app change and no data feed. A mystery reward reveals the moment the hub is activated.
