Referral program: get free tokens by inviting friends

Invite friends for 100 / 50 tokens. Device already referred is a separate error. Store review can add 50 tokens.

The referral program lets you earn free tokens (credits) by inviting friends to VocaLingo. Share your personal promo code: when a new user signs in and activates it within the first 30 days, you receive 100 tokens and your friend receives 50 tokens on the balance immediately.

How it works

  1. Open the Profile tab and tap Free Tokens.

  2. Copy or share your personal promo code.

  3. Your friend creates a new VocaLingo account and enters the code on the Free Tokens screen (or during registration).

  4. You receive 100 free tokens; your friend receives 50.

ℹ️ There is no limit on referrals. Each new user who activates your code adds 100 tokens to your balance (they get 50). Referral rewards are separate from the 30 welcome tokens for new accounts.

Your referral code

Every account gets a unique promo code at registration. Find it under Profile > Free Tokens > Your promo code. Tap Copy or Share.

You can replace the auto-generated code with a custom one by tapping the edit icon. See Changing your code below.

Activating a promo code

Go to Profile > Free Tokens and enter a friend's code in Have a promo code? You can also enter a code at the end of registration.

⚠️ Referral codes between users can only be activated on an account that is no older than 30 days

You must sign in with a full account (email, Google or Apple). Guest mode cannot activate referral codes.

Changing your code

Tap the edit icon next to your code and enter a new value. Requirements:

  • 3 to 20 characters

  • Letters, numbers and dashes only

  • Cannot be changed more than once every 24 hours

  • Cannot contain reserved words: VOCALINGO, FREE, ADMIN, OFFICIAL, PREMIUM, BONUS, TEST, SUPPORT, HELP

All previous activations are preserved. Only future invitations use the new code.
