Insider Referral Perks Program

Last updated: 1 June 2026 · Version 1.0

The Insider Referral Perks Program ("Program") rewards active Detour Global Insiders for introducing new paying members to the platform. This page sets out the full terms. By participating you accept these terms in addition to our Terms & Conditions, Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy.

1. Eligibility

• You must hold an active paid Insider subscription (Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum) at the time a reward is granted.
• One unique referral link is issued per Insider account. You can find your link on the Insider Perks page once signed in.
• Insiders whose accounts are suspended, in arrears or under investigation for breach of our policies are not eligible to earn or redeem rewards.

2. What counts as a qualifying referral

A referral qualifies when all of the following are true:

• The referred person is a brand-new account that signed up using your referral link.
• They start a paid subscription (Explorer or any Insider tier) and the first invoice is successfully charged.
• The referred subscription is not refunded, charged back or cancelled within 14 days of the first payment.
• The referred person is not you, a member of your household, or an account controlled by you.

One referral credit per referred person, lifetime. Switching plans or re-subscribing does not generate additional credit.

3. The reward

For every 5 qualifying referrals, the referring Insider receives:

• 1 free month on their Insider subscription, applied as a 100% discount to their next invoice.
• An automatic upgrade to the next Insider tier (Bronze → Silver → Gold → Platinum). The upgrade takes effect on the current subscription with no proration; you are billed at the new tier on the next renewal. Platinum members remain at Platinum (the upgrade is capped).

The referral counter then resets, so the next 5 qualifying referrals earn another reward. Rewards can stack indefinitely. Insiders on a paused or cancelled subscription receive the free-month credit but the tier upgrade is not applied while the subscription is in a cancelled state.

4. No cash value

Rewards are personal, non-transferable and have no cash value. They cannot be sold, exchanged, gifted, or combined with another offer except where we expressly allow it.

5. Anti-abuse

The Program exists to grow a genuine community of travellers. We will reverse rewards, suspend accounts and (where appropriate) terminate subscriptions if we find:

• Self-referrals or referrals to accounts controlled by the same person or household.
• Fake or fraudulent signups, including signups created solely to be refunded shortly after.
• Use of bots, automation, paid traffic in breach of our Acceptable Use Policy, incentivised-traffic networks, brand bidding on "Detour Global" or confusingly similar terms, or misleading advertising.
• Spam, including unsolicited bulk messaging or posting your link in places where it violates the host platform's rules.
• Any other behaviour we reasonably consider abusive or in bad faith.

If a referred subscription is refunded or charged back within 14 days of its first payment, the referral does not qualify and does not count toward the next reward. Where a reward has already been granted on the basis of subsequently disqualified referrals, we may reverse it (including reversing the tier upgrade) and/or claw back the associated discount on the next invoice.

6. Tax

Rewards are issued in the form of subscription credits and tier benefits and are not paid in cash. Where tax applies on the value of the reward in your jurisdiction, you are solely responsible for any reporting and payment. Detour Global does not provide tax advice.

7. Data & privacy

To run the Program we record: the unique code issued to you, the accounts that signed up using your code, whether each referred subscription has met the qualifying conditions, and the rewards issued to you. We do not share referrer/referred identities between members. See our Privacy Policy for the full data handling notice.

8. Changes & termination

We may modify these terms, change the qualifying threshold, change the reward, or end the Program at any time. Material changes will be communicated by email and/or in-app at least 14 days before they take effect. Rewards already earned will be honoured.
