Bold.org is better with friends. When someone joins through your invite link, you each get 500 Bold Points added to your balance — no limit on how many friends you can invite.
What You Earn
500 Bold Points for you — for each friend who signs up and verifies their account
500 Bold Points for your friend — added to their balance when they join
Bold Points can be redeemed for real financial support toward your education. See How Bold Rewards Works for details on earning, redeeming, and expiration.
How to Find and Share Your Invite Link
Log in to your Bold.org account
Go to Invite in the top menu (on mobile, tap the 🎁 icon in the top right corner) [https://app.bold.org/invite/]
From your invite page you can:
Share instantly using your phone’s built-in share options — text, WhatsApp, social, email
Copy your link and paste it anywhere you like
Your invite link looks like bold.org/from/your-profile-name. It’s unique to you, and it works the same everywhere you share it.
What Your Friend Sees
When someone opens your link, they land on a page that shows who invited them and what Bold.org offers. From there they tap through to create a free account.
Here's an example: https://bold.org/from/vwmdb/
There’s no code to enter and no extra step. As long as they sign up from your link, the invite is credited to you automatically.
When Your Points Are Awarded
Points are awarded once your friend has:
Created a Bold.org account through your invite link, and
Verified their account
Once both are done, you’ll get a notification — in your notification bell, by push notification, and by email — letting you know your friend joined and your points have been added.
Tracking Your Invites
Your invite page shows:
Friends joined — how many invites have been completed
Bold Points earned — your total from inviting
Your invite history — the friends who have joined so far
Invite Rules
For an invite to count:
Your friend must be new to Bold.org. Existing accounts don’t qualify.
Each account needs its own unique email address
Your friend must sign up through your invite link, and verify their account
We monitor invite activity to keep the program fair for everyone. Accounts that appear to be creating duplicate or fake signups may have points reversed and may lose access to the program.
What Happened to Priority Pass?
Priority Pass has been retired. It’s no longer part of Bold.org, and it’s been replaced by the invite program described above.
Previously, referring 2 friends earned you 24-hour early access to new scholarships. That early-access window no longer exists — all scholarships now open to every eligible student at the same time. Instead of early access, inviting friends now earns you Bold Points, which you can redeem for real financial support.
If you had Priority Pass on your account, nothing is owed to you and no action is needed. The old Priority Pass page now redirects to your home dashboard.
What Happened to “Nominate a Friend”?
“Nominate a Friend” has also been retired. It’s been replaced by the single invite link above, which works for all of Bold.org rather than one scholarship at a time.
Need Help?
If a friend signed up through your link but your points haven’t appeared, email contact@bold.org and include:
The email on your Bold.org account
The name or email address of the friend you invited
Roughly when they signed up
Whether they’ve confirmed their account is verified
Remember that points are only awarded after your friend verifies their account — if they’ve signed up but not verified yet, that’s usually the reason.
