How does the Bit Konnect referral programme work?

Sign up to get your unique referral code. Share it with friends. When they join with your code and complete a first qualifying purchase of R50 or more, you earn a once-off percentage of that basket by product category (0.125% to 0.750%). Later purchases earn the shopper, not you. 100 points = R1.

How does the Bit Konnect loyalty programme work?

Join with your cell number or email — no password required. Earn category points on every R50+ basket (100 points = R1). If you joined with a referral code, you also receive an R25 signup voucher. Referred shoppers earn the full ongoing category rate.

What do shoppers get when they join with a referral code?

Shoppers who soft-join with a valid referral code receive an R25 signup voucher, plus earn loyalty points on every qualifying purchase from their first shop.

How are points earned on a purchase?

Qualifying baskets of R50 or more earn points by product category (100 points = R1): 0.500% gypsum and fuse, 0.750% Bitlite, 0.250% aluminium, steel, and other, 0.125% fibre cement and Rhinolite. The referrer earns that rate once, on the first attributed purchase. The shopper earns it on every qualifying purchase.

No. Self-referrals are blocked to keep the programme fair for everyone.

Refer friends. Earn loyalty. Everyone wins.

Share your code. Shop with points. Get rewarded.

Partners share a referral code; friends join with phone or email and unlock real savings. When their order clears, both of you earn points — referrers on the partner dashboard, shoppers on their loyalty profile.

Create an account and your referral code is ready instantly — text it, DM it, or share your /r/CODE link. No setup, no spreadsheets.

Shop & earn

Soft-join at /join or via a friend's referral link — just your cell or email. No heavy sign-up required to start earning.
