TL;DR: Share your referral code. They get 25% bonus Blue Buzz on their first month. You get Membership tickets you can spend on Membership perks for yourself and 10% Blue Buzz back on all Green and Yellow Buzz they buy.
Membership Perks include: Rewards multipliers, free high priority generation, unrestricted generation with Blue Buzz on Civitai.red, and bonus Buzz on every purchase.
Why we're doing this
You've been telling friends about Civitai for years. The least we can do is reward you for it.
The new Referral Program turns word-of-mouth into something tangible. Every friend you bring in earns you Membership tickets and Blue Buzz, every month they stick around. No spreadsheet, no claims process. Just share a code and let it run.
How it works
Step 1. Grab your code from the Refer & Earn page. It's already waiting.
Step 2. Share it. Send the link to a friend, post it publicly, drop it in a Discord. Anyone who signs up with your code is linked to you.
Step 3. When they pay for a Membership, you start earning. Every paid month adds Membership tickets to your balance. Every Buzz purchase they make sends 10% back to you as Blue Buzz.
What you earn
Membership tickets: 1 per Bronze month, 2 per Silver, 3 per Gold (capped at the first 3 paid months per friend). Spend them on free Membership perks for yourself: rewards multipliers, free High priority generation, unrestricted generation with Blue Buzz on Civitai.red, and bonus Buzz on every purchase.
Blue Buzz on every Buzz purchase: 10% back, every time your referred friends buy Buzz. No cap.
Milestone bonuses: hit a points threshold (1k, 10k, 50k, 200k, 1M) and a lump-sum Blue Buzz bonus drops on top. The bigger the threshold, the bigger the bonus.
What your friend gets
A bonus 25% Blue Buzz on their first Membership month, awarded the moment payment confirms.
Where to find it
Your code lives on the Refer & Earn page. From there you can copy the link, share to X, Reddit, or Discord, watch your earnings stack, and claim your free Membership when you've got enough tickets.
Already paying for a Membership? Upgrades work too. The next time you change tiers, the upgrade modal has an optional referral code field. Drop a friend's code in and they start earning on the next billing cycle.
Thank you
All of Civitai's growth can be attributed to word-of-mouth, so we're excited to be able to finally introduce a system that rewards people for spreading the word.
Go share your code. Bring a friend. Earn together.
