Acorns
Acorns runs a peer-to-peer referral scheme requiring an Acorns account, not an affiliate program open to publishers.
About the Acorns affiliate program
Acorns runs a customer referral scheme, not a publisher affiliate programme. The page states that the person referring must be an existing Acorns client, and new customers receive a $5 bonus investment after investing $5 or more within 14 days. Acorns notes it may pay substantially more per offer to commercial partners, but that is a negotiated media arrangement rather than an open programme, and no cookie window or network is published.
Pros and cons
- ✓The brand is well known, so the name carries search demand
- ✓If a publisher programme opens later, the audience overlap is strong
- –This is a customer referral scheme, not a publisher affiliate program
- –You generally need to hold an account yourself to take part
- –Rewards are account bonuses or shares rather than cash commission
- –No cookie window, payout threshold or affiliate network applies
