Clarifies the terms and conditions for earning the Runpod referral bonus in the "Eligibility requirements" section of the referral programs page. Following @lavanya-gunreddi's review, the section now states all four requirements a referred user must meet to qualify for rewards:

  • They must sign up using Google SSO (referrals who sign up any other way are not eligible).
  • They must be a first-time Runpod user — users who previously had a Runpod account under the same email address, including deleted accounts, are not eligible.
  • They must have signed up after June 15, 2025 (accounts created before this date are not eligible).
  • They must load at least $10 onto their account before bonus credits are awarded.

Applied review feedback (disposition)

All four items from the review were applied verbatim as requested:

  • Google SSO requirement — applied verbatim (already present).
  • First-time-user / deleted-account exclusion — applied verbatim (expanded the existing bullet to name deleted accounts).
  • June 15, 2025 signup cutoff — applied verbatim as a new bullet.
  • $10 minimum load — applied verbatim (already present).

⚠️ Note for the reviewer: The June 15, 2025 signup-cutoff date is new to the docs and could not be independently corroborated. This page already references a June 16, 2025 referrer-beta cutoff and a June 26, 2025 affiliate-beta cutoff, but neither is a referred-user signup cutoff, and Linear was not searchable in this run. The date was applied exactly as you supplied it — please confirm June 15, 2025 is correct (and not, for example, the June 16 date used elsewhere on this page).

(Line 19)

Corroborates new eligibility bullet at line 32 ($10 minimum top-up required before referral bonus is awarded). The "How rewards work" section already documents that bonus credits are awarded "after they load $10 on their account," so restating this as an eligibility requirement is internally consistent with existing, previously-verified page content.

Source:

- **Bonus credits** for both you and your referral after they load \$10 on their account. The bonus amount depends on your location:

- They must be a first-time Runpod user. If they previously had a Runpod account under the same email address, they are not eligible.
- They must be a first-time Runpod user, and the same email address must not have been used to sign up more than once.

Sharpened wording at line 31 (must be first-time user; email must not have been used to sign up before; duplicate signup with same email = ineligible) restates the same substantive rule already present in the pre-edit, currently-published version of this line ("They must be a first-time Runpod user. If they previously had a Runpod account under the same email address, they are not eligible."). No new fact introduced, only clarified phrasing; verified consistent with "Important details" line 79 ("New accounts only").

Source:

- They must be a first-time Runpod user. If they previously had a Runpod account under the same email address, they are not eligible.


If you referred users before June 16, 2025, you're part of our beta program group. This means you'll continue earning commissions on their spend indefinitely, not just for 6 months.

Thanks @lavanya-gunreddi — got it. I'm updating the eligibility requirements on this PR to include all four conditions you listed (Google SSO, first-time user, signup after June 15 2025, and the $10 minimum load). I'll follow up here once the changes are pushed.

Google SSO eligibility bullet ("They must sign up using Google SSO. Referrals who sign up through any other method are not eligible for rewards.") was restated verbatim in PR reviewer lavanya-gunreddi's PR #801 review comment (2026-08-20) as part of the full four-item eligibility list. Wording is identical to the fact already present in the prior published version of this page, so this is a dual-sourced, high-confidence claim (pre-existing doc content + reviewer confirmation), not a new/unverified fact.

New claim: referred users must have signed up after June 15, 2025 to be eligible; accounts before that date are ineligible. Source: verbatim requirement supplied by PR reviewer lavanya-gunreddi (Runpod maintainer, authoritative source for their own referral program) in PR #801 review comment dated 2026-08-20. This exact date/fact is NOT independently corroborated elsewhere in the docs: line 24 of this page documents a June 16, 2025 cutoff for referrer-beta grandfathering (a different program/date), and line 48 documents a June 26, 2025 cutoff for affiliate-beta status (also a different program/date). Neither confirms nor contradicts a June 15, 2025 referred-user signup cutoff. Linear keyword search for independent corroboration was unavailable (tooling gap). Carried as reviewer-sourced per instruction; flagged unverified, not treated as a blocking correction.

@lavanya-gunreddi Done — the "Eligibility requirements" section (and this PR) now lists all four requirements you asked for:

  • Sign up using Google SSO (other signup methods are not eligible).
  • Be a first-time Runpod user — prior accounts under the same email, including deleted accounts, are not eligible.
  • Have signed up after June 15, 2025 (accounts created before this date are not eligible).
  • Load at least $10 onto the account; bonus credits are awarded only after this minimum load.

One thing to confirm before merging: the June 15, 2025 signup cutoff is new and we couldn't corroborate it against the existing docs. This page already references a June 16, 2025 cutoff (for referrers in the beta group) and a June 26, 2025 affiliate-beta cutoff, but neither is a referred-user signup cutoff. We've applied June 15, 2025 exactly as you wrote it — could you confirm that's the intended date (and not the June 16 one used elsewhere on the page)?
