Referral Program: Invite Friends & Earn Free Plus
Invite friends to AICHIKI and earn free Plus days for both of you! Refer a friend, share AICHIKI with your friends, and get rewarded with bonus Plus days. Bring friends to join AICHIKI and you'll both benefit!
How It Works
When you refer someone to AICHIKI and share your referral code with them, both of you get rewarded when they sign up and join:
- You get: 5 days of Plus access
- Your friend gets: 5 days of Plus access
Both parties benefit from referring friends to AICHIKI, making it a win-win! The more people you refer and invite, the more free bonus Plus days you earn.
Getting Your Referral Code to Invite Friends
To refer friends, send invites, and share AICHIKI with others:
- Open the Settings menu in the app
- Tap on Referrals
- Click Get My Code to generate your unique referral code (also called promo code or invitation code)
- Share your code with friends via:
- Copy and paste
- Social media
- Text message
Share this referral code with as many friends as you want to bring to AICHIKI and earn rewards!
Redeeming a Referral Code
If a friend invited you to AICHIKI and shared their code with you:
- After signing up and verifying your email, you'll be prompted to enter a referral code during onboarding
- Enter the code your friend shared with you
- Both you and your friend will receive 5 days of Plus access!
Note: Referral codes can only be redeemed once per account during the onboarding process or shortly after signup. If a friend invited you, make sure to use their code during signup!
Referral Stats Dashboard
Track how many friends you've invited and your referral success in the Referrals modal:
- Your Referral Code: Your unique code to share with friends
- Total Invites: How many friends have used your code
- Days Earned: Total Plus days you've earned from inviting friends
- Active/Pending Status: Whether your referral days are currently active or queued
How Referral Days Work
If You're on a Free Plan
When someone uses your code, your 5 days of Plus access activate immediately. If you already have active referral days, they extend your current Plus access by 5 more days.
If You Have a Paid Subscription
When you have an active paid subscription (monthly or yearly), referral days you earn are queued and will automatically activate when your paid subscription ends. This means:
- Your paid subscription continues uninterrupted
- Referral days stack up in the background
- When your paid plan expires, all queued referral days activate at once
- You seamlessly transition to Plus access from referrals
Example: If you have 3 friends sign up while you're on a paid plan, you'll have 15 days of Plus queued. When your paid subscription ends, those 15 days will automatically activate.
Program Guidelines
Email Verification Required
Your email must be verified before you can generate a referral code or activate earned referral days. This keeps the program fair for everyone.
Real Email Addresses
The referral program is designed for real users:
- Use a legitimate email address from providers like Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo, ProtonMail, etc.
- Disposable or temporary email services ("10 minute mail" style addresses) aren't compatible with the referral system
- This helps us maintain a genuine community of AICHIKI users
Simple Rules
- One code per account: Redeem one referral code during signup
- No self-referrals: You can't use your own code
- No limit on earned days: Refer and invite as many people as you like and stack up Plus access! The more friends you bring to AICHIKI, the more bonus days you earn through referrals.
Referral Days vs. Paid Subscriptions
Referral days provide full Plus plan features:
- Unlimited messages with characters
- Access to all AI providers
- Priority response times
- Advanced character creation features
The only difference is:
- Referral days are time-limited based on successful referrals
- Referral days are promotional: They're a marketing benefit, not a purchased service
Important Notes About the Program
This is a Marketing Tool
The referral program helps AICHIKI grow by rewarding you for introducing friends to the platform. It's designed to be generous and fun!
Program May Change
As with any promotional program:
- We may adjust how many days are granted per referral
- The Plus plan or referral program could be modified based on business needs
- Unused referral days might be adjusted if our business direction changes
- We'll do our best to notify you of major changes via email
Think of referral days as a bonus reward for helping AICHIKI grow, not as a permanent guaranteed benefit.
Keep It Real
The program works best when you recommend AICHIKI to friends and share it with people who would genuinely enjoy it. Our system automatically helps keep things fair for everyone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I change my referral code? A: No, referral codes are permanent and unique to your account.
Q: What happens if my friend doesn't verify their email? A: You won't receive your 5 days until they verify their email address. Unverified referrals don't count.
Q: Do referral days expire? A: No! Once activated, your referral days count down only when you're actively using them. Queued referral days wait until your paid subscription ends.
Q: Can I combine referral days with a paid subscription? A: Referral days earned while on a paid plan are queued and activate after your paid subscription ends. You can't have both active simultaneously.
Q: How do I know if my referral code worked? A: Check your Referrals dashboard in Settings - you'll see your total invites and earned days update when someone successfully uses your code.
Q: Can I use someone else's code if I already have an account? A: No, referral codes can only be redeemed during signup or within a short window after account creation.
