Coinbase referral link

Use the referral link on this page to sign up for Coinbase. You get a $20 in Bitcoin, and the person who referred you gets a $20 in Bitcoin, up to 10 referrals. Verify your ID, then trade $15 or more.

It's worth using if you're opening a Coinbase account anyway: a $15 first trade gets you $20 in Bitcoin. You need to verify your ID first, so plan a few minutes for signup.

Coinbase is a US crypto exchange where you can buy, sell and hold Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

How to claim

1. Click the referral link on this page and create a new Coinbase account
2. Verify your identity
3. Make your first trade of $15 or more on coinbase.com/trade with a bank transfer, debit card or credit card
4. Your $20 in Bitcoin arrives about 48 hours after the trade

The fine print

From Coinbase's referral program terms:

"The referred user’s qualifying purchase must be completed within ninety (90) days of when they become trade eligible (i.e. they have verified their identity)."

From the Coinbase program terms

"If your invitee purchases cryptocurrency on Coinbase Advanced or Coinbase Prime, the purchases will not count toward referral eligibility."

From the Coinbase program terms

"Invitees who join Coinbase through your referral code or referral link are not eligible for the Coinbase New User First Buy Spin The Wheel Incentive or Coinbase New User First Trade and Trade Eligible Promo Codes."

From the Coinbase program terms

The terms also say:

• The offer is for new US customers only, and Washington residents aren't eligible
• You must sign up through the referral link, with no earlier Coinbase account
• Coinbase calls it a limited time offer, so the amount can change

How to get your own Coinbase referral link

Open Invite friends in the Coinbase app or at coinbase.com/invite. You get $20 in Bitcoin for each friend who makes a first trade of $15 or more, for up to 10 referrals.
