Referral program
Share your referral code, earn balance credits when friends join, and track your rewards.
Tell a friend, get rewarded. When someone signs up with your referral code and verifies their email, both of you earn reward balance you can recharge into any Space — real credits for real AI work, just for spreading the word.
How rewards work
- You (the referrer) earn $5.00 of reward balance.
- Your friend (the new user) earns $2.00 of reward balance.
Rewards are granted as balance credits held at the user account level. Recharge them into a Space to turn them into AI Credits — see Redeem a reward code for the recharge flow, which works the same way.
Referral rewards expire 30 days after they're granted, so recharge them into a Space and put them to work soon after they land.
Get your referral code
Open your referral details
Go to Settings → Rewards (or the referral section of your account). Your personal referral code is shown there, along with a shareable link.
Share it
Send your code or link to a friend. They enter the code when they sign up for Buda.
They verify their email
The reward is granted only after your friend verifies their email address. Until then, the referral is recorded but not yet paid out.
Eligibility and expiry
A referral pays out only when all of these are true:
- The new user signed up with a valid referral code.
- They've verified their email.
- It isn't a self-referral — you can't refer your own account.
- That user hasn't already been referred or rewarded before.
Each granted reward expires 30 days after it's issued.
Track earnings
In Settings → Rewards you can see:
- Your referral code.
- How many people you've successfully referred.
- Your total earned reward balance.
From the same page, recharge your balance into a Space whenever you're ready to use it.
