Refer. Reward. Repeat: Why Referring Friends to Rent-A-Center Pays Off

When furnishing your home with stylish furniture, reliable appliances, and the latest electronics, Rent-A-Center makes it easy to own your own way. Whether you’re upgrading your living room with a new sectional or outfitting your kitchen with a high-end fridge, Rent-A-Center allows you to get what you need now—without the burden of hefty upfront payments or long-term commitments.

But here’s something you may not know: Rent-A-Center customers can now unlock extra savings just by sharing the love. With the Rent-A-Center referral program, referring a friend doesn’t just help someone you care about—it helps you too!

What Is the Rent-A-Center Refer-A-Friend Program?

So, what is a referral bonus? At Rent-A-Center, it’s $30 in RAC Rewards*—a thank-you for every successful referral you make. When your friend or family member opens a new agreement and makes their first full payment, you both receive $30 in RAC Rewards. That reward can be used to defer part or all of a rental payment, giving you a much-deserved break from your payment schedule. We call it a payment holiday—you’ll call it a game changer.

What’s more, there’s no limit to the number of people you can refer. Know a cousin who needs a new fridge? Refer them. A coworker who’s eyeing a gaming console? Refer them too! The more you share the love, the more RAC Rewards you can earn.

What are RAC Rewards?

So, you know you can refer a friend and earn RAC Rewards, but what does that mean exactly? Our Rent-A-Center referral bonus is a powerful tool. With RAC Rewards, you can:

• Enjoy a payment holiday: Use your RAC Rewards to skip or reduce a rental payment.
• Compound your rewards: Stack them by referring multiple friends and family members.
• Earn rewards with a few simple steps: Sharing your referral link is easy and can be done in whichever way is easier for you—by text, email, or social media.

You can also use your rewards partially or in full—meaning you don’t have to spend them all at once. Want to knock a few dollars off this month’s payment? Go for it. Want to skip a payment altogether? You can do that, too. RAC Rewards gives you the freedom to choose.

How Refer-a-Friend to Rent-A-Center

Picture this: Your friend just moved into their first apartment and needs a new refrigerator or bedroom set. You send them your referral link. They find what they need and sign an agreement. After your friend’s first full payment, you both receive RAC Rewards that you can apply to your own accounts. You get a breather from a payment, and your bestie gets a head start on settling into their new space. Everybody wins.

Wondering how to get started? Here’s a quick look at how to refer a friend through Rent-A-Center’s easy-to-use system:

• Log in to MyAccount.
• Grab your unique referral link.
• Share it via text, email, or social media.
• Once your friend opens a new agreement and makes their first full payment, you both receive $30 in RAC Rewards.
