Qualifying for the referral bonus
The person you refer must apply through the link in your invite email and must make at least one payment toward their loan through LendingClub for you to earn a referral bonus. After their first payment is processed, you’ll get a $100 referral bonus in the form of a cash deposit or gift card. If you qualify for the referral bonus, you can expect that bonus within 60 days.
If you haven't already referred someone and would like to now, visit this referral page while signed in to your LendingClub account to get started.
* To be eligible for the referral bonus, the person making the referral ("Referrer") must be a current or past customer who received a personal loan through LendingClub. The referral bonus is given in the form of a gift card, or deposited in the Referrer’s bank account on file with LendingClub within 60 days after the first contractual payment is successfully made by the person who was referred to and received a loan through LendingClub ("Referee"). Only individual consumer borrowers can earn a bonus under this program. This offer can't be used between borrowers on a joint application. To be eligible to receive the referral bonus, the Referrer must refer a first-time customer, and the Referee must use the link provided in the invitation email to apply for a loan. Referral bonuses are only available if the Referee's first successful contractual payment is made on time. The Referrer is responsible for all taxes. Please consult your tax advisor to evaluate your tax liability related to any bonus earned under this program. This program may be altered or discontinued at any time without notice by LendingClub, in its sole discretion. LendingClub reserves the right to withhold payment of a referral bonus if it has reason to believe a Referrer is abusing the Program. Additional Terms and Conditions may apply. This Program is subject to change at LendingClub's discretion.
