Coinbase Referral Bonuses Have Increased From $25 to $75!

https://blog.coinbase.com/2015/08/20/our-referral-bonuses-have-increased-from-25-to-75/

Nice of you to share this with people who may be looking for a good deal to get into Bitcoin.

I can vouch for Coinbase's service...it's good. The user interface is easy and the user experience is enjoyable. The only thing I don't like is the mobile app. If you have more than one wallet, the mobile app makes it difficult to see the balance in more than one wallet at the same time.

Has anyone cashed in on this promotion? How long did it take to get paid? Any complications?

Thanks for sharing truly a great deal.  I wish I could invite more people to enjoy the world of bitcoins.

My biggest wish is they would have split that reward between both accounts.  That way when trying to share bitcoins you could tell them that we both get X amount.  I guess you could do this manually.  But I think if they reward both sides it will have even better results.

Will this work in France, this referral program I mean, I see that they offer a service to buy bitcoins in France.

Does anybody have a referral link that I could use? We can make a deal and split a referral bonus 50-50. If somebody is interested, please PM me.

No matter unless they open referral program worldwide. They are only playing USA/Canada zone. They lose bigger markets.

Oh Ok, so they only pay US/Canada? Well then this won't work for me.

Is this a sure thing? Thanks!

woah they tripled their rewards :D niice it still is extrememly hard to get people reffered into the coinbase platform tho :P

Good to hear this, Coinbase is a great bitcoin wallet and with this move show that has intention to go further. The "big thing" has not end. Congratulations coinbase. Other millions of bitcoin users with you !!!!

thanks for sharing,this is a great information for comunity, only for each person we refer who buys at least $100 worth of bitcoin,we got $75 right?
but unfortunately just available in 26 countries :(

wow nice sharing bro thanks..good information to coinbase members and me.75$ or 0.3298 BTC is really helpful. but is not available in our country philippines.

It's only available for 26 countries, not for whole world. If you are from one of these countries you can participate:
Austria
Belgium
Bulgaria
Croatia
Cyprus
Czech Republic
Denmark
Finland
France
Greece
Hungary
Ireland
Italy
Latvia
Malta
Netherlands
Norway
Poland
Portugal
Romania
Slovakia
Spain
Sweden
Switzerland
United Kingdom
United States

So has anybody tried it and got referral bonus outside the US and Canada? Some people are reporting that's available only in these 2 countries.

Thanks!

This seems like a good opportunity if we can target those countries properly. What I like is that if user A visits your referral link and they don't sign up you still will get credited if they sign up form that same computer within 90 days of visiting your referral link.
I'm going to make a custom banner ad for this and try putting it on my faucet where I get a lot of visitors from Czech Republic.
Does anyone else have a banner they made for this coinbase promo?

Too bad my country isn't included. :( I have several of my peers looking for a way to get into the world of bitcoins flawlessly and without the hassles. I don't understand why don't they offer their service here? There are so many people interested in my country about bitcoins, plus the fact that our government don't see bitcoins as anything to be taxed or regulated.

The LiteCoinGuy isn't a spammer lol. He's been here for too long now, and the link he's posting doesn't have any referral links or anything dangerous for it to be not visited. It is just coinbase's blog. As for the referral bonus, I don't think anyone already claimed that $75 as of this time.

Yes but we are not talking about the LiteCoinGuy post, we are talking about the guy that posted a link for the online mining website. Take a closer look, you have missed it.

Anyways, I have accessed this mining website from the public computer and the site is nicely done. It seems legit. Now, I haven't registered so I don't know is it a scam or not. If anybody else has more info about this www.mining.ml referral, thanks for sharing it. Apparently they are offering 7 days of free online mining which can lead up to 0.5 BTCs of revenue, completely free.

Edit: I've checked it on VT, apparently site is clean.

Edit 2: Well guys, definitely stay away!

If Coinbase want to expand their userbase they should open this referral bonuses to whole world. There are more than 200 countries in the world and only 26 are eligible. It's not fair. For example if I live in Trinidad and I want to invite my friends I can't get any referral bonus. Why would I invite my friends then?

Coinbase doesn't really have a choice. They are only open and doing businesses in countries where they have been permitted. Bitcoin is treated differently in every country.

They can expand their operations to other countries. There are a lot of countries besides these 26 that have already local exchanges. So Coinbase can join these markets and compete with local exchanges.

Too bad my country isn't on the list.  :(

It's still not available in my country. I don't know why they don't expand their area to other European countries. There are a lot of people who use Bitcoin here. So there is already demand, why don't an exchange come and compete?

Thanks, good to know they are actually paying out.
Did you receive an email notification regarding it, or did you have to sign into your account and find out on your own?

YOU MEAN THESE BONUSES ARE LIMITED TO THE COUNTRIES ABOVE

the bonus is limited to countries where they allow you to buy bitcoin. wouldn't make sense otherwise.

also, I can confirm that they pay. got 4 people in so far and confirmation is 10 mins after purchase

Well I see my country is listed in the list, but not gonna hand over my personal documents to any site, No thank you.

PM Sent!

The person has agreed to deal with me, wouldn't trade with a red trusted newbie anyway

by the way, here's what I offer: Cashback Offer - Buy $100 worth of Bitshares, ETH or NXT - get $50 on top! (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,18595.0.html)

Email notification regarding it

Coinbase changed another time its referral program, now pay both 10$ (10 for the new user, and 10 for the old user).

I guess this is history! They have changed it to 2 times $10.

If your friend visits coinbase.com/buys and purchases $100 USD or more (or 100 EUR, or 100 GBP, or 100 CAD, or 100 SGD) of bitcoin, you both will receive $10 (or 10 EUR, or 10 GBP, or 10 CAD, or 10 SGD) of bitcoin when the buy completes. Buys can take up to 4 business days to complete.

That's lame, they just started the $75 promotion and they are already abandoning it??
I guess the $10 each is an okay idea, that way I can tell someone that we both profit. Still a big change from $75 to $20 ($10 each).

i hope someday coinbase will be add more country, and coinbase can accept deposit from payeer, because asia is good market too

they just dropped it :(

To be honest, $75 was quite a lot! I was surprised when I saw that they are giving this amount. They must have burned investors money since I don't see how could they repay this from their fees, etc.

Granted, promotion did last quite short. I don't see what good they could have from it in such a short amount of time. Oh well..

Oh well, great to guys who got in and made money off the ref commision quick.
Edit: I guess there is no point of this thread now

well shit. Earned some bitcoin at least, but $10 isn't the best offer. it's still a nice bonus, but not as outstanding as $75 (or even $25)

Ouch it is not available in our country... can i reffer on other country even if its not available in our country?

yes, doesn't matter where you are located. it only works if your referral buys, but that's obvious. :)

I think OP should either lock this thread or at least change the title as it may confuse other users who haven't heard of the recent drop in referral commission

It is still not available in my country.

I don't know why they don't expand their area to other asian countries such as philippines, malaysia and others.

There are a lot of people who use Bitcoin here. So there is already demand, why don't an exchange come and compete?

Im from philipines its not available on our country.. maybe i can refer from other country to earn the referal earnings...

same here, so irritating. i also just wan to try it out but it is not available. GRRRRR!!!
