Refer a friend, earn credit. Share your unique referral link and receive credits every time someone you refer spends on Thunder Compute GPUs.

This program is currently in beta. Terms may evolve as we improve the program based on user feedback.

​
How It Works

Our referral program rewards you with 3% of every dollar your referrals spend on GPU instances. Here’s what you need to know:

  • Reward Rate: 3% of all spending by referred users
  • Duration: Lifetime rewards for each referred customer
  • Credits: Paid out in Thunder Compute credits (non-transferable)
  • Tracking: Credits apply to paid, consumed compute resources. These typically post within minutes of a finalized invoice for consumed compute.

We created this program as a way to give back to our community. Rather than paying advertisers, we want to reward you for your contribution to Thunder Compute.

By referring even a medium-size startup you can often receive thousands of dollars of free compute.

​
Getting Started

  1. Sign in to the Thunder Compute Console
  2. Navigate to Settings › General
  3. Copy your unique referral link
  4. Share it anywhere—social media, tutorials, blog posts, or direct messages

Once someone creates a new account using your link and starts using GPU instances, you’ll automatically earn 3% of their payments as credits.
