Referral Program Terms
How the Invite & Earn program works, what qualifies for a reward, and the rules we enforce to keep it fair.
Last updated:
1. Overview
The KDP AI Studio Referral & Rewards Program lets registered users invite others using a personal referral link. Both sides can earn AI Credits when the invitation leads to a genuine new account and, later, a qualifying paid purchase.
- The invited user receives 10 bonus AI Credits on signup.
- The referrer receives 100 AI Credits when that user completes their first qualifying paid purchase or subscription.
- Rewards are issued as AI Credits only — never cash.
2. Eligibility
You must have an active KDP AI Studio account in good standing to participate. Each account receives one permanent referral code, visible on your Referrals page.
A referred user is only eligible if they are a genuinely new customer: a person who has never held a KDP AI Studio account before, signing up with their own email address and payment details. Self-referrals, referrals between accounts controlled by the same person or household, and referrals of existing or previously cancelled accounts do not qualify.
3. Attribution
Attribution uses a first-touch model. When someone opens your referral link, the code is stored in their browser and applied to the account they create. If a visitor arrives through several different referral links, the first code recorded wins.
Attribution requires that browser storage is available and not cleared before signup, and that the account is created on the same device and browser. We cannot add attribution retroactively once an account exists.
4. Qualifying purchases
A qualifying purchase is the referred user's first successfully completed, fully paid subscription or AI Credit package, confirmed by our payment provider. Referrer rewards are granted automatically once that confirmation is received.
The following do not qualify:
- Free plan usage, trials that never convert, or pending payments.
- Purchases that are later refunded, reversed, disputed or charged back.
- Credits granted by an administrator, promotion or another referral reward.
Only one referrer reward is paid per referred account, no matter how many purchases that account makes afterwards.
5. Using and expiry of rewards
Referral credits are added to your purchased-credit balance and behave like any other purchased credits: they are consumed after your monthly plan credits, and they do not expire at the end of a billing period while your account remains active.
Referral credits have no monetary value, cannot be transferred between accounts, sold, exchanged for cash, or refunded.
6. Fraud and abuse
We monitor the program for abuse. Prohibited behaviour includes creating fake or duplicate accounts, using disposable or automated email addresses, paid search ads bidding on our brand terms, spam (unsolicited email, comment spam, mass DMs), posting your link on coupon or cashback sites without permission, misrepresenting yourself as KDP AI Studio, and any attempt to manipulate click or conversion tracking.
Where we detect abuse we may withhold or reverse rewards, remove referral credits already granted, disable a referral code, or suspend the accounts involved. Payments that are refunded or charged back may result in reversal of the related reward.
7. Taxes
You are solely responsible for any taxes that may arise from participation in the program in your jurisdiction. We do not provide tax advice.
8. Changes and termination
We may change the reward amounts, eligibility rules or mechanics of the program, or suspend or end the program entirely, at any time. Changes apply from the moment they are published on this page and do not retroactively remove credits already validly earned.
These terms form part of, and are subject to, our Terms of Service, Acceptable Use Policy and Privacy Policy. Where a conflict exists, the Terms of Service prevail.
