Affiliate program
Share Playboook. Earn a consultation.
Send your friends a discount on the same handbook you bought. When three of them pay through your link, the maintainer opens a 30-minute structure-review session for you.
Free structure-review consultation
A live session with the maintainer once three friends buy through your link. We walk through how you'd sequence your own evidence, where the gaps sit, what to tighten. Educational only — not legal or immigration advice.
What your friend pays for the full bundle. Referral links attribute the purchase to you — they don't change the price.
Three paid purchases through your link unlock the reward. Refunds reverse a qualification.

How it works
- 1
Share your link
Your personal /?ref=name-XXXX link lives in the dashboard below. Drop it in a DM, a post, an email — anywhere your friends are.
- 2
Friend buys the bundle
They pay the standing £99. The link carries your referral attribution through checkout, so the purchase counts toward your reward.
- 3
We credit you automatically
When the Lemon Squeezy webhook lands, the purchase attaches to your account. You'll see the qualified count tick up on /account.
- 4
Three paid friends unlocks the consultation
At three qualified buys we email you a Notion booking link for the 30-minute session. Pick any open slot.
Your link & progress
Sign in (or create an account) to get your personal referral link. The link is generated automatically on first sign-in and never changes — you don't need to have bought Playboook yourself to refer friends.
Common questions
Do I need to buy Playboook to refer friends?
No. The affiliate program is open to anyone with an account — buying is optional. The consultation reward is the same whether you've bought the handbook or not.
Does my link give friends a discount?
No — the price is the standing £99 for everyone. (The earlier founding-window and referral discounts ended with the launch period.) Your link's job is attribution: it makes sure the purchase counts toward your consultation reward. Discount codes, when they exist, are issued directly by Playboook and work independently of referral links.
What counts as a qualified referral?
A paid purchase. We mark the referral as qualified the moment the webhook confirms payment landed (so within seconds of your friend checking out). Refunds reverse the qualification — if a friend refunds and the count drops below three, the consultation unlock pauses until you net three paid again.
How do I get the consultation once I hit three?
You'll get an email from hello@playboook.com with a Notion booking link. Pick any open slot. The maintainer confirms by email. The session itself is on video; calendar invite arrives a day before.
Is there a limit on how many friends I can refer?
No cap, no expiry on the credit. Once you've unlocked the consultation, you can keep referring — the ledger keeps counting, and future perks for high-volume referrers are something the maintainer may add later (no promises yet).
Can I refer myself?
No. Self-referrals are blocked at three layers: the middleware refuses to stamp a referral cookie for your own link, the payment webhook drops self-attribution, and a database trigger refuses to record the row. If you've been testing your own link in dev and see the "referred by yourself" banner stick around, clear the pb_ref cookie.
What about international friends?
The handbook applies specifically to the UK Global Talent Visa — Architecture route under ACE / RIBA. It won't be useful to friends applying via different routes or visas. The discount mechanics work for any country, but the product itself is route-specific. When in doubt, send them the welcome chapter first (it's free to read) so they can self-assess.
