All offers / Crypto / Bitrefill
Nothing pays out until you clear $200 of spending. Bitrefill then pays you $5 in bitcoin.
Bitrefill sells gift cards and mobile top-ups, meaning credit you load onto a prepaid phone or a service account, and it takes crypto as payment. Sign up with a friend's referral code and, in Bitrefill's own wording, "after they have spent over $200," the reward lands "in bitcoin to your Rewards Balance." So $200 of spending is a realistic figure for someone who genuinely uses it, and a tall order for someone who does not.
- What your new account has to spend before anything is credited$200
- What you receive once that threshold is passed$5
Both figures come from Bitrefill’s own refer-a-friend page.
What pays what
| You, as the new user, sign up through the link and spend over $200 | $5 in bitcoin |
|---|---|
| Signing up first and adding the code afterwards | Nothing, ever |
| Spending on FastBitcoins, Crypto Vouchers, or Thor Turbo and Recharge | Does not count |
| A second account to refer yourself | Bonuses removed |
| This site, if you use the program | $0, by design |
Do this, in this order
- Get the link privately, from a person. Someone who already has a Bitrefill account can send you their code directly. A code lifted from a public list is what Bitrefill's anti-spam clause targets, and both accounts can lose the bonus.
- Use the link before you spend a single dollar. "Unfortunately we are not able to retroactively credit referral rewards if the link was not used." Sign up through the link first, then shop. There is no support ticket that fixes this afterwards.
- Verify your email address. Bitrefill names it as a condition, not a formality: "Your friends first need to reach $200 of spending and verify their email address." An unverified email holds the reward for both of you indefinitely.
- Do not put the $200 through the excluded products. Spending on FastBitcoins, Crypto Vouchers, and Thor products (Turbo and Recharge) generates no referral bonus. It is possible to spend well over $200 and qualify for nothing if it all went through those.
- Expect roughly ten days, and a human deciding. "After that, referral credits are reviewed and credited in 10 days." The terms are blunter: "The allocation of rewards is not automatic and is conditioned upon prior review of compliance with these terms." Meeting the conditions starts a review; it does not guarantee a payout.
- One account, one person. "Any attempt to misuse this program will result in exclusion from the ability to participate and removal of any bonuses from the accounts involved." Note the word removal: bonuses already credited can be taken back, not just refused.
The fine print that can still cost you the reward
Neither page carries a last-updated date. Bitrefill's referral page and its referral terms both state no revision date, so there is no way to tell when a condition last moved.
Bitrefill can end your eligibility, or the program, at will. The terms reserve the right to "remove eligibility from any Customer for any reason at any time," and to "extend or expire this program or change the terms at any time."
The reward is bitcoin, so its value moves. It is credited to your Bitrefill rewards balance, called the Cashback Balance in places on the same page. Between qualifying and spending it, the dollar value can drift either way.
Residency and age rules are not in these terms. The refer-a-friend pages set no geographic or age conditions at all. Any limits of that kind would sit in Bitrefill's general terms of service, which we did not read for this page.
There is no published lifetime ceiling. On how many friends you can invite, Bitrefill says: "Not at all! The more the merrier." No total dollar cap is stated anywhere in the terms, so the absence of a cap is unconfirmed rather than promised.
Is it worth your time?
If Bitrefill is already how you buy gift cards or top up a phone with crypto, then yes: get a friend's link before your next purchase, clear $200 in the normal course of things, and take the $5. It costs you nothing extra. If you have never used Bitrefill, look at the shape of it honestly: a $200 spending gate for $5, and every route to a code that does not run through a person you know is against Bitrefill's own rules. It is a strange offer to chase, and a perfectly good one to accept if it happens to fit.
