Earn Free Gift Cards Every Month — Just by Sharing
Our referral program pays you 5% of your friends’ survey earnings forever — that’s a limited-time promotional rate (standard rate is 3%). Every friend you refer while the promo is active is locked in at 5% for life. Refer enough people and you’ll have a stream of CompBux hitting your account every single month — without lifting a finger.
How Does the Competitions.com.au Referral Program Work?
Share your unique referral link with friends. When they sign up and complete surveys, you earn 5% of their CompBux earnings as commission, paid automatically on the 1st of every month. The 5% is a promotional rate — standard is 3%. There is no cap or expiry.
The concept is simple: share your unique referral link, and when someone signs up through it, you earn a 5% monthly commission (promotional rate — standard is 3%) on all the CompBux they earn from completing surveys. That commission is paid automatically on the 1st of every month and continues for as long as they’re a member. Anyone you refer while the 5% promo is running stays at 5% forever — so the more friends you refer now, the better.
Think of it like a referral affiliate program, except it’s built right into the site and the rewards go straight to your CompBux balance — which you can redeem for gift cards (minimum $10 gift card, if unlocked).
Your friends also get a welcome bonus when they sign up through your link, so there’s genuine value in it for them too.

You Earn 5% Every Month Promo
On the 1st of each month, 5% of their survey earnings is automatically credited to your CompBux balance. Friends referred during the 5% promo period stay at 5% forever.
What Bonus Do Referred Friends Get When They Sign Up?
Friends who sign up through your referral link receive 50 free CompBux, 5 bonus spins on Spin & Win, and 15 extra guesses in the daily guessing games. These bonuses are credited instantly, giving them a genuine head start from day one.
When someone signs up through your referral link, they start with a solid welcome bonus — giving them a reason to actually engage with the site right away.
50

5

15

That head start makes it easy to pitch the site to friends. You’re not asking them to do something with nothing in return — they’re getting real rewards from day one. And the more active they are with surveys, the more commission you earn each month.
How Much Can You Earn from the Referral Program?
With 10 active friends each completing 10 surveys per month at 150 CompBux average, you earn 750 CompBux monthly in commission. With 25 friends at 15 surveys per month, that rises to 2,812 CompBux — approximately $28.12 in gift cards (minimum $10 gift card, if unlocked).
Every time one of your referred friends completes a survey, they earn CompBux (typically 150–200 per survey). You automatically receive 5% of those earnings as a commission. This isn’t a one-off bonus — it’s a lifetime commission that keeps paying as long as they keep completing surveys.
| Scenario | Their Monthly Earnings | Your 5% Commission | Gift Card Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 friends × 5 surveys/month | 3,750 CB | 187 CB | ~$1.87 |
| 10 friends × 10 surveys/month | 15,000 CB | 750 CB | ~$7.50 |
| 10 friends × 20 surveys/month | 30,000 CB | 1,500 CB | ~$15.00 |
| 25 friends × 15 surveys/month | 56,250 CB | 2,812 CB | ~$28.12 |
| 50 friends × 15 surveys/month | 112,500 CB | 5,625 CB | ~$56.25 |
Based on an average of 150 CompBux per survey. Actual earnings depend on survey availability and completion rates. 1,000 CompBux = $10 in gift cards.
Even a modest network of 10 active friends could earn you 750–1,500 CompBux every month — on complete autopilot. That converts to $7.50–$15 in gift cards (minimum $10 gift card, if unlocked). Scale that up to 25 or 50 referrals and you’re looking at real, consistent passive income.
Remember: this is passive income. Once your friends are signed up, you don’t need to do anything else. Their survey completions automatically generate your commission every single month.

What Is the Best Way to Get More Referrals?
The most effective approach is sharing with people who already take surveys on other platforms — they understand the value and are more likely to stay active. Lead with what your friend gets (the welcome bonus), share in relevant communities, and start with family and close friends.
The members earning the most from referrals aren’t spamming links everywhere. They’re sharing in a genuine, helpful way. Here are a few approaches that work:
Share With Survey Takers
If you know someone who uses Swagbucks, Octopus Group, or any other survey panel, they’re a perfect fit. They already understand the value and will likely be active — which means ongoing commission for you.
Lead With Their Bonuses
Mention what they get: 50 free CompBux, bonus spins and guesses. People are more likely to sign up when there’s something in it for them right away.
Share in Communities
Facebook groups about competitions, freebies, or saving money are great places to mention the site. Just be helpful and follow group rules — nobody likes link spam.
Tell Your Family
Partners, siblings, parents, adult kids — if they’re in Australia and have a phone, they can sign up. Some of our best referral earners built their network entirely from family and close friends.

What Are the Rules of the Referral Commission Program?
Commission applies to survey earnings only — spins and guesses are excluded. Referred friends must verify their phone number before their earnings count. Your friend keeps 100% of their CompBux; your 5% commission is paid by the platform on top of their earnings.
The 5% applies to CompBux your friends earn from completing surveys. Other earnings (spins, guesses, etc.) aren’t included.
Referred members need to complete phone verification before their earnings count towards your commission. This keeps the system fair.
There’s no cap, no expiry, and no time limit. Every friend you refer during the 5% promotional period earns you 5% commission forever — even if the rate drops to 3% for new referrals later.
Your commission is paid by us on top of what they earn — it doesn’t come out of their CompBux balance.
Redeem your CompBux for gift cards from major retailers including Coles, Woolworths, Amazon, JB Hi-Fi and more.
Referral Program: Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a limit on how many people I can refer?
No limit at all. Refer 5 people or 500 — you’ll earn commission on every single one.
When do I get paid?
Commissions are calculated and credited to your CompBux balance on the 1st of each month for the previous month’s activity.
Can my friend see that I referred them?
Your friend will see a personalised welcome when they sign up through your link, but the commission arrangement is between you and the site. They won’t see your earnings.
What if my friend doesn’t verify their phone?
They’ll show as “pending” on your dashboard. Once they verify, their earnings will start counting towards your commission. Encourage them to complete the process!
Does my friend lose anything by being referred?
Absolutely not. Your friend keeps 100% of their earnings. Your 5% commission is paid by us on top of what they earn — it doesn’t come out of their balance.
