Runway
Built-in referral
Paid in credits
Global
Generative video, image and editing tools.
The referral pays in platform credits rather than cash, and both parties must remain subscribed for two months to qualify.
Runway pays 1,000 credits, through a referral link that already sits inside the product, with no application. Both of you must subscribe to a paid plan and stay subscribed for two months. Only then does either side get credits. The referred customer gets 1,000 credits. Verified 21 Aug 2026 from Runway's own published material.
Your commission
1,000 credits
Credits toward your own usage — not cash, and never convertible to it.

Important
The reward is a discount on your own Runway usage rather than income. It has value to a publisher who already subscribes and consumes credits, and none to a publisher seeking cash.
This record covers the built-in refer-a-friend only. Runway may also run a separate affiliate or creator program with cash terms — not yet verified either way, so treat the credits route as the floor, not the ceiling.
