## Frequently Asked Questions

#### 1. What's the difference between the Affiliate Program and the Referral Program?

The [Affiliate Program](https://lunchmoney.app/affiliate-program/?utm_source=knowledgebase) and [Referral Program](https://lunchmoney.app/referral/?utm_source=knowledgebase) are similar in that they both provide the referred users one (1) extra month of trial. The main differences between the Affiliate program and Referral program are who can sign up, how the reward is calculated, and how it is paid out.

| Affiliate Program                                                                | Referral Program                                                                                             |

| Rewards are paid out in monetary form via ACH or IBAN to your bank account       | Rewards are applied to your next invoice                                                                     |
| Payouts only happen after a minimum of US$30 in accumulated reward is reached    | No minimum number of referrals required                                                                      |
| Rewards accumulate with each new referred user that turns into a paid subscriber | Rewards are calculated based on a snapshot of your active referrals 24 hours before your subscription renews |

#### 2. Should I use the referral program or affiliate program?

The [Referral Program](https://lunchmoney.app/referral/?utm_source=knowledgebase) is recommended for individual paying subscribers who wish to invite friends and/or family to earn account credit toward their subscription. This would allow you to take advantage of the rewards right away. Some users might find they benefit from a high discount on a monthly subscription instead of an annual subscription.

The [Affiliate Program](https://lunchmoney.app/affiliate-program/?utm_source=knowledgebase) is recommended for people, publications or businesses with a larger sphere of influence. This would allow you to cash out rewards in monetary form.

#### 3. How do I sign up to be an affiliate?
