Referral gift cards
If a contractor asked you to share your personal link with people who might need similar work, or a friend sent you their link — here's exactly how the referral and the gift card work.
Short version:sharing your link never costs you anything. If the person you refer requests an estimate, you separately get a one-tap email to claim a thank-you gift card — and it's sent the moment you confirm it, whether or not your friend ends up hiring anyone.
Sharing your link with a friend
Some contractors give their existing clients a personal link to pass along to friends, family, or neighbors who need similar work. When you send that link, your friend sees a plain “Request a Free Estimate” form — no mention of gift cards, no pressure, nothing framed around a reward. They just fill in their name, contact info, and a bit about the job, and it goes straight to the contractor.
What your friend sees — nothing to pay, nothing to sign up for.
When your gift card actually shows up
Separately, you — the person who shared the link — get your own email with a one-tap link: “You earned a referral reward!” It shows your friend's name, the contractor's name, and exactly how much the gift card is worth before you tap anything.
“Send my $X gift card”
Your card is issued right away — the moment you tap confirm. It does not wait on your friend hiring anyone or the job closing. It's a thank-you for the introduction, not a commission on a sale.
“No — I didn't refer anyone”
If the referral wasn't you, decline it here and no card is ever sent.
The confirm link is good for 14 days
If you wait longer than 14 days after it's sent, the link expires. If that happens and you still want your reward, reach out to the contractor or email support@leadchuck.com — there's no automatic way to reopen an expired link.
How much it's worth, and Amazon vs. Visa
Each contractor sets their own referral gift-card amount as part of their program, so it varies from one contractor to the next — you'll always see the exact dollar figure on your confirm screen before you tap anything, so there's never a surprise.
Contractors also choose which kind of card their program pays out:
- Amazon gift card — never expires.
- Visa gift card— you have up to a year to activate it; once activated, it's good for 6 months.
Either way, the amount and card type come from that contractor's own program, not from LeadChuck directly — so the amount and card type can differ if you refer people to more than one contractor.
A note on privacy
LeadChuck doesn't sell or share your contact info. Your friend's estimate request only goes to the one contractor whose link you shared — not to anyone else on LeadChuck. And referring someone never costs you anything: homeowners never pay LeadChuck for anything, ever.
