Referrals & the leaderboard
Two extra earn engines sit alongside subscriptions: referral bonuses when someone you invited starts earning, and leaderboard awards for top earners.
Refer and earnlink
Your referral link exists once your @handle is claimed — the handle keeps your account ID private and makes the link easy to share and recognize as yours. You can change your handle later, and links you shared before still work exactly as they did.
Referral bonuses are protected by fraud controls, including a lifetime cap of 10 paid bonuses per referrer — referrals beyond the cap still complete and show on the Refer & Earn page, but no further bonus Koins are paid.
Referral bonuses are a Kariant reward rather than cashback funded by a subscription, so they are spend-only: they carry full spend power across the platform but do not count toward your convertible balance and never convert to Kash.
- 1Open Refer & Earn from your Kashback navigation and claim your unique @handle — your personal referral link is created from it (for example ?ref=@yourhandle).
- 2Share your link. When someone signs up through it, the referral attaches to their new account automatically.
- 3When your referral's FIRST subscription is confirmed, your bonus Koins are credited and the referral shows as earned on the Refer & Earn page.
The leaderboardlink
The public leaderboard celebrates top earners on monthly and yearly boards. Rankings are computed from confirmed earnings on a schedule, and top ranks receive bonus-Koin awards credited automatically when a board period closes.
- check_circleThe leaderboard is public; display is privacy-aware — you control how you appear via your Kashback settings.
- check_circleAwards are one-time per period and land directly in your wallet with a notification.
- check_circleIn an exceptionally high-volume period the board may rank the most recently confirmed subscriptions rather than every single one — a note appears on the board when that happens, and awards for the period are held until the full ranking is settled.
- check_circleLike referral bonuses, leaderboard awards are spend-only — a Kariant reward rather than cashback funded by a subscription, so they do not count toward your convertible balance and never convert to Kash.
Frequently asked questions
When exactly does my referral bonus arrive?expand_more
On your referral's first CONFIRMED subscription — signups alone do not pay. You are notified when the bonus is credited.
My referral signed up but the bonus has not arrived.expand_more
The bonus waits for their first confirmed subscription (which may itself sit pending or in holdback first). A bonus that hits a temporary snag is retried automatically — retries run every six hours, so allow up to a day — and if their subscription confirmed and your bonus still has not landed after 72 hours, raise a ticket.
