Here at Trading Card Escrow, we’re excited to launch our new referral program. Now, when you get a friend to join and use our trading forum, you both get $5. Here’s how it works:
- You tell someone else about the TCE trading forum
- They join our forums and post their haves/wants list so people can start trading with them
- Their first trade is not only free, but we’ll also include a $5 bill – we’ll actually pay them $5 to do their first trade. In order to get the $5, they have to tell us who referred them (that’s you).
- We send you $5 too, either via PayPal or in cash with your next trade (whichever you prefer).
- Rinse and repeat – refer as many people as you like

New members: To tell us who referred you, just write their forum username on a note telling us you were referred, and include it with your first trade. This will tell us to make your trade free and give you $5.
Members making referrals: Let us know when you’ve referred someone so we can match them up with you and pay you when they do their first trade. This isn’t necessary as long as the other person tells us you referred them, but it can’t hurt. Make sure your forum account is working properly so we can contact you to arrange payment.
Why are we doing this? Simply put, it’s because our forum becomes more useful to everyone as it grows in size. We want you to have more people to trade with, so we’re incentivizing people to join and use our trading forum.
Rules:
- We reserve the right to end this promotion at any time by posting a notice on our website. Trades already in the mail when the promotion ends will still be honored.
- No spamming or scamming. Use only legitimate social means to invite others you know to our forums. This means only contacting people you already know. Try Facebook, Twitter, or your local card store. If you use another online forum, please be courteous and follow the forum’s rules for contacting other members. Spammers will be banned from our forums and will not be paid. Similarly, people trying to cheat the system (e.g. by making fake trades with themselves or their imaginary cousins) will be banned and won’t be paid.
- Trades must be conducted through Trading Card Escrow, and must be arranged through our trading forum (note: you can also use TCE to escrow trades you arrange on other forums, but this promotion only applies to trades made in our forum)
- You may only have one account on our forum, and you may only receive the new member bonus once.
- There is no limit on the number of people you can refer. It’s $5 per person who joins and makes a trade, so if you refer a bunch of people, you’ll get a bunch of five-dollarses. Sweet, huh?
Contact us with any questions. To get started, head over to the trading forum.
