What is the HeyCash referral code?
The HeyCash referral code is ZGVNKQ. Use HeyCash referral code ZGVNKQ when you sign up, or join through the Join button on this page, so the referral is linked to your account from the start.
What do I get when I join HeyCash with a referral code?
Every new HeyCash account gets a $1 starting balance (1,000 points), added automatically when you open the account, so there is nothing to claim. HeyCash does not list a separate extra bonus for joining with a referral code, so check the app when you sign up for any current offer.
What reward does the HeyCash referral code give the referrer?
HeyCash pays the referrer a 10% commission on the survey rewards of each friend who signs up with their code. The HeyCash referral screen describes the commission as being on survey rewards, so earnings your friend makes from games and offers may not count towards it.
How is the HeyCash referral commission calculated?
The HeyCash referral commission is 10% of the survey reward your friend earns. For example, if a friend earns $2.00 from a survey, your commission would be $0.20. HeyCash shows balances in points, where 1,000 points equal $1.
Is there a limit on HeyCash referrals?
HeyCash does not state a limit on how many friends you can refer. Your commission grows with the number of friends who sign up with your code and keep taking surveys. Check the Referrals screen in the HeyCash app for any current limits.
What is the HeyCash Referral Contest?
The HeyCash Referral Contest is a competition shown at the top of the Referrals screen in the HeyCash app. Prizes and rules can change between contests, so open Referral Contest in the app to see the current details.
How do I track my HeyCash referrals?
The Referrals screen in the HeyCash app shows how much you have earned from referrals in USD and how many friends have joined with your code. Commission appears there as your friends complete surveys.
Why did my HeyCash referral not count?
A HeyCash referral usually fails when your friend signs up without your code or link, already had a HeyCash account, or creates more than one account, which breaks HeyCash's one-account-per-person policy. You also earn commission only when the friend completes surveys, so a friend who signs up but takes no surveys brings no commission.

What is the minimum cash-out on HeyCash?

How long do HeyCash payouts take?

Why are my HeyCash rewards pending?

Is KYC required on HeyCash?
