Chase Refer-A-Friend: Earn up to 200,000 Chase Points [Every Year!]

Long considered one of the most valuable and flexible points currencies, miles and points enthusiasts are always happy to earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points. One reason the points are so valuable is that you have flexible redemption options such as access to both airline and hotel rewards, thanks to the Chase transfer partners.

One of the ways to earn more Ultimate Rewards points quickly is through the Chase Refer-A-Friend program, as you receive bonus points when your friends are approved for a new Chase credit card.

Not only can you refer friends to cards that earn Ultimate Rewards points, but you can also share referrals to Chase cards that earn United miles, Southwest Rapid Rewards, and Marriott Bonvoy points.

Let’s look at how the program works and how you can add to your Ultimate Rewards account balance with referrals.

How To Find Your Chase Referral Links

Chase has put together a simple site where you can create all your referral bonus links. You can then send referrals to friends via email or share your referral links on Facebook and Twitter. You can also use the Chase app to refer friends.

The process is simple: Once a friend applies and is approved for a card through your referral link, you receive a bonus. The number of points you receive depends on which card your referred friend apply for.

Your friend will also likely be eligible for a welcome bonus, which only sweetens the deal for everyone!

When you visit the Chase Refer-A-Friend site, you need to provide 3 pieces of information to access your referral links:

1. Last name
2. ZIP code
3. Last 4 digits of your card number

When using the Chase mobile app, you log in, click on the account you’d like to refer to, and then scroll down until you see Refer a friend.

Your Referral Details

The referral page provides details of how many points per card you can earn for each referral bonus and indicates the maximum reward points you may earn through referrals each calendar year.

Simply copy the referral link to share via email, text, or social media.

Chase Credit Cards Eligible for Referral

The cards eligible for referrals change occasionally, so if you can’t refer someone today, be sure to check again later. Note that the opposite is also true: Some cards may be eligible today but won’t be at a later date.

In most cases, in order to refer a friend to a Chase credit card, you must be a cardholder of that card. However, this is not always the case.

For example, if you have a Chase card that is no longer available for applications, you may still be able to refer other Chase cards. Cardholders of the Ink Business Plus^® Credit Card may be able to refer other Chase business cards, and holders of a Chase Freedom Flex^® card may be able to refer friends to a Chase Freedom Unlimited^®.

Your Chase Refer-A-Friend dashboard will list all of your available options.

Now let’s look at some examples of Chase referral bonuses.
