How abitback works
Referral bonuses, shared fairly. Use someone else's referral to get a sign-up bonus, share your own to earn — and everyone gets a fair turn.
Two ways to use abitback
Get a bonus
Signing up to a new bank, app or service? Use a referral from our community and claim the sign-up bonus. No account needed to browse.
Browse retailers →Share and earn
Add your own referral codes and links. When someone uses yours, you get the referrer reward from that company — and we make sure your turn comes around.

-
1
Find the retailer
Search or browse by category. Set your country at the top of the page so you only see offers that work where you are — referral programmes differ between countries.
-
2
Get the code or link
Some companies use a referral link, others use a code you enter at sign-up. Either way, one tap gets you what you need. We show you both rewards up front: what you get, and what the sharer gets.

Sign up and claim your bonus
Complete whatever the company asks — usually opening an account, and sometimes a first purchase or deposit. Your bonus comes from the company, not from abitback, so their terms apply.
⚖️ The fair rotation system
abitback shows whichever member referral has waited longest since it was last shown. Nobody can pay to jump the queue — not members, and not us.
🔄 Longest wait goes first
Every time a referral is shown it goes to the back of the queue, so everyone gets their turn.
🚫 No paying for priority
You cannot buy a better position. Your place in the queue is earned by waiting, like everyone else.
🛡️ Anti-gaming built in
We detect self-clicking and duplicate accounts so nobody can push themselves up the queue unfairly.
💷 How we fund this
On some retailers, abitback has its own referral shown a set share of the time — and it says so on those retailers' pages, with the exact figure. On every other retailer, 100% of referrals are members'.
Sharing your own referrals
-
1
Add your code or link
Go to the retailer's page and add your referral, or submit it in one click from the browser extension while you're on their site. One referral per retailer per person.
-
2
It goes live
Referral links that clearly match the retailer's own website go live straight away. Shortened links and anything unusual get a quick manual check first — you'll be emailed either way.
-

Your turn comes around
Track clicks and reveals from your dashboard. Rewards are paid by the company whose referral it is, straight to you — abitback never handles that money.
Keeping referrals working
Dead codes are the main reason referral sites become useless. Ours clean themselves up.
👎 Report what doesn't work
If a code or link fails, tap report. After a few independent reports it's paused automatically and the owner is asked to fix it.
🔄 Yearly check-ins
Referrals over a year old get a quick "does this still work?" email. Unconfirmed ones step aside until you reactivate them.

🧩 The browser extension
The extension tells you when the site you're already on has a referral bonus available — so you never sign up and realise afterwards that you missed out.
- Spots offers automatically as you browse
- Clears that retailer's cookies so the referrer is properly credited
- Submit your own referrals in one click
- Choose subtle alerts or a full on-page banner
Works with Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera.
🏆 Points and levels
Points recognise members who keep abitback useful. They're a reputation score, not a currency.
Common questions
Does it cost anything?
No. Browsing and using referrals is free, and a free account lets you share your own.
Does abitback take a cut?
Not from your bonus — that comes from the company and goes straight to you. On some retailers abitback has its own referral shown a set share of the time, which is how the site pays for itself. Those retailer pages say so and show the exact figure. Everywhere else, every referral belongs to a member.
Who actually pays the bonus?
The company whose referral programme it is — not abitback. We connect people; the reward, its conditions and its timing are set by that company.
Why does my country matter?
Referral programmes and bonus amounts differ by country, and a code from one country often won't work in another. Setting your country means you only see offers that should work for you.
Why didn't my referral show up straight away?
Links matching the retailer's own website go live immediately. Shortened links and unusual codes are checked by a human first — usually quick, and you'll get an email when it's live.
Can I share more than one referral for the same company?
One per company per person. That keeps the rotation fair — nobody can flood a retailer with multiple entries to get more turns.
A code didn't work. What now?
Use the report link next to it. A few reports pause it automatically and prompt the owner to fix it, which keeps the pool healthy for everyone.
