You probably start talking about it, right? Well, if you're going to tell your friends how awesome your gym, bank, app or hosting company is, you might as well earn a little something in return.

Many companies offer cash, store credit or other bonuses for referring their product to other people, so it's worth your time to know what kind of bonuses you can receive. This doesn't mean promoting anything and everything that has a referral program. It's just a nice way to get a bit of a bonus when you recommend products and services you genuinely enjoy. I put together a list of 30 referral programs that can help you earn money and other rewards.

The next time you're sharing your experience about one of these service providers or opportunities, make sure to get credit for your advice.

A Business & A Life That You Love!

Banks Banks are great places to score referral bonuses, whether you convince your friends to sign up for a new account or get friends to open up a new credit card. These are just a handful of the bank referral programs out there; check with your bank to see what referral options they offer!

Bank offers 5, FlexPoints when you refer a friend to sign up for their credit card. The Southwest Rapid Rewards credit card is offering 5, bonus points for each friend you refer, up to 30, bonus points total. In addition to the Southwest Rapid Rewards card, other Chase credit cards also come with referral bonuses, so check out their Refer a Friend site and see if your card is on the list! Gyms Gyms want to get as many new members as possible, so they provide great incentives to people who can get new customers in the door.

Plus, you'll have a gym buddy to keep you on target with your workout goals! We've listed a few chain gym referral programs for you, but local gyms often have great referrals as well. Many gyms choose not to publicize their referral bonuses, but most offer some form of bonus -- so make sure to ask the next time you stop by! Chattanooga, Tennessee's Urban Rocks climbing gym offers a sliding scale, depending what kind of membership your friend chooses.

Equinox gives you a gift card for every new member you refer. Gold's Gym lets you choose from various non-cash rewards after successfully referring a friend. Sounds like a nice surprise!

Jobs Believe it or not, some companies offer serious referral bonuses to employees who bring in talented new hires. Your job might not offer a five-figure bonus, but many companies do offer smaller referral bonuses to people who bring in new hires. Ask around and see if there are referral bonuses available, or see if your human resources department is open to the suggestion. Digital Tools and Web Hosting If you have a website or blog , chances are your web hosting company has a referral program.

Likewise, digital tools like Dropbox give you more space for every friend you invite. Here are some of the more popular ones: Dropbox gives you up to 16 GB of space if you get your friends to join -- plus, with your friends on Dropbox, you can create shared folders and quickly share files.

Whether you're taking an Uber to the airport or listing your basement suite on Airbnb, here are a few ways to refer friends and get rewards. Uber lets you earn credit for future rides by referring your friends. Clothes If you find yourself buying and reselling clothes constantly, you need to know about these referral programs.

Another resale site, Twice , has a great referral program. Affiliate Programs When you sign up for an affiliate program, you earn money by linking to products on your personal website. It is very important to always disclose when you use affiliate links, which usually means writing something like "the following links are affiliate links.

Amazon's affiliate program is one of the best out there. When you use an affiliate link to reference an Amazon product on your website, you earn money not only if a person clicks that link and buys the product, but also if they buy anything else on Amazon's website.
