Did you know you can earn bonus GeniusCash by referring friends to the app? Plus, you can give your friends a head start by fast-tracking their first $10 payout.

We've completely revamped GeniusCash app referrals, making them more rewarding for both you and your friends.

Referrals are simple:

• You share GeniusCash with someone you know.
• They get a head start toward their first $10 CAD payout.
• You unlock a Boost that adds extra cash to your next eligible offer.

This article reviews the GeniusCash app and explains the basic steps you can take to help your friends and yourself earn even more.

Earn cash back with the GeniusCash app

GeniusCash is a straightforward rewards program that offers payouts through Interac e-Transfers or PayPal.

$1 GeniusCash = $1 CAD

The GeniusCash app is a Canadian mobile app that helps you become more financially savvy and earn cash back. In the app, you'll find financial learning Quests, daily trivia, and opportunities to earn extra cash back when signing up for new financial products.

Best ways to earn GeniusCash

GeniusCash Offers are exclusive offers that pay real cash when you apply and are approved for a financial product or service through creditcardGenius, moneyGenius, or the GeniusCash app.

You can also earn monthly GeniusCash on top of your existing credit card rewards through GeniusCash Max.

You can earn even more GeniusCash by referring friends. For each referral, you'll receive a Boost that adds a percentage bonus to your next eligible offer.

How GeniusCash referrals work

It only takes a few taps in the app to get started on your GeniusCash referrals:

• Open the app and go to the Referrals/Boosts tab
• Copy your message, link, or code
• Share it by text, DM, or however you'd like

When your friend signs up for GeniusCash using your referral link or code, we'll fast-track their first $10 payout so they can earn cash back sooner.

Tip: When your friend signs up using your custom link, your code should be filled in automatically, but your friend will also have an opportunity to enter your code directly – no matter how they download the app.

Plus, whenever one of your referred friends signs up, you earn a Boost that you can apply to your next eligible offer, increasing your payout by up to 50%.

What is a GeniusCash Boost?

A Boost is a percentage-based bonus applied to a GeniusCash Offer.

A Boost adds 20–50% more GeniusCash to your next eligible offer. Even 20% adds up quickly:

• $50 GeniusCash + 20% Boost = $10 bonus = $60 total
• $100 GeniusCash + 20% Boost = $20 bonus = $120 total
• $150 GeniusCash + 20% Boost = $30 bonus = $180 total

How do I use a GeniusCash Boost?

If you have a Boost available, you'll see an option to use it when you click on an offer for the first time.

Important: This option is only available when you first click "Get Deal" to start claiming an offer, so if you're considering using your Boost, you should apply it. You can always remove it later if you change your mind, but you won't be able to add a Boost if you abandon your application and return to it later.

You can see your earned Boosts on the Referrals/Boosts tab.

$10 GeniusCash for your friends

But referrals aren't just about earning Boosts. They're an opportunity to gift your friends and family $10 each – on us!

They'll get their first $9 right away, then they can follow an onboarding tutorial guiding them through the steps to earn $1.

That first $10 payout feels good, and your referral helps your friends get there faster.

The best part of GeniusCash is that it pays real money, not points or rewards that need to be converted. You earn real dollars that go straight to your bank account or PayPal.

When you refer someone to GeniusCash, you're not only introducing them to a fun finance app, you're helping them earn real cash.

So if you're already using GeniusCash, don't forget to pass it on! Help a friend get closer to their first payout while you earn more on your next one, and both of you see real money in your accounts.
