Referrals, Step by Step
The fastest way to stack Local Bucks.
1. Share your link
Grab your personal referral link from your dashboard and send it to friends or local business owners.
2. They sign up
When they create their account through your link, they're automatically tagged as your referral.
3. You earn 20 LB
Instantly and automatically — no waiting for a purchase, no forms, no fine print hoops.
The Fine Print
We kept it short. You're welcome.
Rewards, Not Cash
Local Bucks work like Kohl's Cash — a rewards credit you can apply to offset purchases on Everything Local (boosts, memberships, and more). They're not for cash collection: they hold no cash value on their own and can't be redeemed for money, transferred, or sold.
No Expiration (for now)
Your Local Bucks don't expire today. We reserve the right to introduce expiration policies in the future with 30 days' notice.
Non-Transferable
Local Bucks are tied to your account. They can't be gifted, combined, or sold to another business or user.
We Can Change This
Everything Local reserves the right to modify, limit, or discontinue Local Bucks at any time. We'll give you a heads-up if anything major changes.
Referral Eligibility
Referral rewards may become a Local Pro member perk in the future. Everyone currently gets Local Pro, so everyone earns today.
The Spirit of It
Local Bucks are built to reward people who genuinely engage with their community. Don't game it — just show up.
