## Summary
inKind is currently paying $50 for a referral and $25 to the person referred, on a promotion its own terms say runs through August 31, 2026. The unusual part is that inKind's referrals page states no referrer figure at all: it describes the reward only as a credit, and the $25 people quote for the referrer is the label on a tab inside the app rather than a published rate. Both amounts are dining credit inside the app, not withdrawable cash.

## How the referrer gets their link
Open the inKind app and share your referral link from the referrals screen.

- Share your referral link

## When it pays
After the new member's first qualifying purchase.

## Fine print that matters
- The $50 is a promotion with a stated end date of August 31, 2026, after which the rate is expected to fall. It reached us by email rather than by any published page.
- inKind's referrals page does not state a referrer amount anywhere. It says only that you receive a credit, and the $25 commonly quoted is the name of an in-app tab.
- The person you refer gets $25 off, and must spend $50 or more on a first meal paid through the app.
- Both sides are paid in dining credit. inKind's terms say balances are not redeemable for cash unless required by law.
- Referral earnings are classified as inKind Cash Back, which the terms expire on a rolling basis rather than holding indefinitely.
- No cap on referral count or value is stated in either the referrals page or the terms, and both say the opposite. That is an absent cap, not a confirmed unlimited one.
