Referral Rewards and Credits in Velveteen
Updated June 13, 2026
Your friend gets their first month free on any plan. You earn a credit matching their plan's monthly price, applied automatically to your next bill. The reward is account credit, not a cash payout.
The two rewards are separate: a free first month for your friend, and a subscription credit for you.
What each side gets
Your friend
First month free when they subscribe to any plan with your link.
You
A credit matching their plan's monthly price, applied to your next bill.
How your credit is sized
The credit equals the monthly price of the plan your friend subscribes to, so a friend on a higher plan earns you a larger credit.
For reference, that is about $1.99 for Artist, $4.99 for Pro, and $14.99 for Label, matching each plan's monthly price.
Tip
