Referral program terms
Last updated: May 20, 2026
These terms govern the FlightSweeper referral program and supplement our Terms of Service.
How it works
When someone signs up using your unique referral link and completes their first eligible booking, you earn account credit equal to 50% of their first booking service fee. Credit can also be earned on Pro subscription referrals; the earnings rate is displayed on your referrals dashboard.
When credit is earned
A referral becomes eligible when:
- The referred user is a new FlightSweeper account.
- They sign up via your referral link within 30 days of clicking it.
- They complete a paid booking and the 24-hour refund window has elapsed without cancellation.
Credit is held in a pending state until the 24-hour window closes, then moves to your available balance.
How credit can be used
Account credit applies automatically to future FlightSweeper service fees on bookings or to Pro subscription payments. Credit cannot be converted to cash, transferred between accounts, or used outside FlightSweeper.
Eligibility and limits
- You must have an active FlightSweeper account in good standing.
- Self-referrals are not allowed. Creating duplicate accounts to refer yourself is grounds for forfeiture.
- Referrals must be genuine — paid traffic that materially misrepresents FlightSweeper, spam, incentivized clicks, or bot traffic is prohibited.
- We may cap the number of referrals per account or per time period if needed to prevent abuse.
Tax reporting
Account credit is generally treated as a discount on future purchases rather than income. If, in any calendar year, you cash out the equivalent of $600 or more in rewards (where cash-out is offered), we may be required to issue a Form 1099 to the IRS and to you. You are responsible for any taxes owed on rewards you receive.
Fraud, abuse, and forfeiture
We may withhold, reverse, or forfeit credit and close accounts that violate these terms, including in cases of self-referral, account farming, fraudulent bookings, or chargebacks on referred bookings.
Changes and termination
We may change the referral rate, eligibility rules, or end the program at any time on reasonable notice. Already-earned available credit will be honored for at least 90 days after any program change or termination.
