Tips & Ideas
This is a decent referral program. Some gift card brands in the Slide app can be bought starting at $5, so a new user could presumably get $20 worth of gift cards completely free without being a penny out of pocket
In case you’re not familiar with how Slide works, it’s an app which offers a flat rate of 4% cashback on every gift card you buy in the app, or 5% if you prefund your account. When Slide was first launched by Raise, I was a little underwhelmed as you can often get discounts of 10%+ on many of the brands, so 4% or 5% wasn’t too exciting. However, I figured it could be useful for high value brands like eBay which don’t often get discounted.
Since then, the value proposition has gotten better as a couple of shopping portals – TopCashback and Dollar Dig – have started offering cashback on Slide purchases in addition to the 4% or 5% you’ll earn in the app. (iConsumer is currently offering 6%, but that comes in the form of iConsumer stock and so is probably closer to being worth 0.01%). The rate from both TopCashback and Dollar Dig has increased at times, going as high as 10%. Getting a total of 14-15% on every brand available in the Slide app was therefore a great deal, although portal rates aren’t currently as high as 10%,
What’s nice about this referral program is that the person being referred can presumably stack both the referral deal and portal cashback. They can sign up using your referral link, then tap through from one of the two shopping portals before making their purchase. I haven’t tested this out yet, but I’m assuming it would work.
TopCashback is offering 4% for new customer and 3% for existing customers, while Dollar Dig is offering 5.5%. That means a new user can get $5 off their first four purchases, along with up to 10.5% cashback.
If you’ve not used Slide before, I’d appreciate it if you used my referral link to sign up 🙂
