How to use referral link on Coinbase and get bonuses

Coinbase rewards you with a commission of $10 worth of BTC every time someone new signs up for an account using the referral link that you've shared and completes either a buy or sell order amounting to at least $100 of BTC, BCC, ETH, and LTC within 180 days of creating his or her account. In addition to this, your referral also gets the same bonus once he or she completes a cryptocurrency purchase or sale amounting to at least $100 within the same 180-day timeframe.

A great aspect of this program is that your referral doesn't have to buy or sell $100 or more in cryptocurrencies in one go — as long you as your referral's transactions tally up to at least $100 within 180 days, both of you will earn the $10 bonus. Keep in mind, however, that trades can take up to four business days to complete. So if your referral's trade is performed on day 178 and completes on day 182, neither of you may receive a reward.

To invite friends, family, and others to sign up for Coinbase using your referral code, sign into Coinbase using the browser on your iPhone, Android, Mac, or PC. From there, click the avatar button in the upper-right corner of the screen, then choose "Invite Friends."

Within the invite page, you now have the option of sharing your Coinbase referral link either through email, social media, or copying your personal link to share with friends via text messages (iOS). Choosing either Facebook or Twitter will generate a ready-made post which you can instantly share on your feed for people to view, while invites sent via email or messaging will share your direct referral link.

Once your referrals have successfully registered on Coinbase, deposited funds, and have started trading in BTC, LTC, BCC, and ETH, simply sit back and wait until they reach a total amount of at least $100 in trades for both of you to receive your bonuses. Just be sure to remind them to execute those trades within 180 days.
