Title: Referral Program Access for Pro Users

Hi Cursor team and community,

I recently reached out on Discord asking about the referral program, and I was told it doesn’t currently exist. However, I’ve seen multiple users actively sharing referral links in the format Cursor - The best way to code with AI, with new users receiving 50% off their first month through those links.

This tells me the referral program does exist, but access seems to be limited to certain accounts only.

My feature request is simple: make the referral program accessible to all Pro users, or at least clarify what the criteria are to get access.

I’ve been a Cursor Pro subscriber for almost a year. I actively recommend Cursor to developers in my community, but without a referral link, I have no way to track or formalize those recommendations.

A referral program that is open to loyal Pro users would:

  • Reward long-term subscribers who already advocate for the product
  • Drive more organic growth through trusted peer recommendations
  • Give users a reason to stay subscribed and stay engaged

Would love to know if there are plans to expand access to this. Happy to provide any additional context if needed.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the feature request. The program is real and it’s rolling out gradually. At the start, access isn’t given to everyone right away. Eligibility is tied to an active paid subscription, a clean payment history with no issues, and regular Cursor usage. Over time, access will expand.

One thing. You said you’ve been Pro for almost a year, but on our side the account you’re writing from shows as Free. If your subscription is active on a different email, make sure it’s linked to the same account you want to use the referral link on. If you’re having any subscription or billing problems, email [email protected] and they’ll look into your specific case.

No need to open a separate feature request. This is already being tracked, including in the earlier thread Cursor Referral Program. You can add your vote there. When the rollout reaches more accounts, the option will show up automatically.
