Cardgoal is quickly becoming one of the most popular gift card trading platforms in Nigeria. In just a year, our Cardgoal Android App on Google Play Store has crossed over half a million downloads! For Apple users, we also have the Cardgoal iOS App . But what really sets us apart is that we offer up to 20% higher rates for gift cards compared to other platforms. Plus, our apps are super easy to use, and transactions are much faster than you would find anywhere else.
The process to make money on Cardgoal is simple: sell your unused gift cards to convert them into cash. But if you're wondering how you can earn even more, this blog is for you. Read on to discover a few easy and free ways to boost your earnings in Naira.
Cardgoal has a great referral program that lets you earn cash by inviting your friends and family to join the platform.
How it Works:
Every user has a unique invitation code, which you can find on the Invitation Reward page in the app.
Share this code with anyone you know, and when they register using your code, you earn ₦500.
The more people you invite, the more free cash you’ll get!
Terms & Conditions:
The invitee must complete transactions of ₦20,000 or more within 72 hours for you to earn the ₦500 reward.
You can invite up to 10 people per day and earn 5000 Naira.
If you're a new user on Cardgoal, you can earn up to ₦2,700 in rewards just for completing some simple tasks! Here's how it works:
₦300 for successful registration
₦100 for setting up a login password
₦100 for setting up a transaction PIN
₦100 for linking a bank account
₦100 for watching the transaction tutorial video
All these rewards are credited directly to your Cardgoal wallet, making it super easy to earn as soon as you join.
In addition to the new user bonuses, you’ll also receive a ₦2,000 coupon pack to use on your gift card transactions. These coupons will be added to your bonus coupon account and help you earn more when you sell gift cards.
Here’s what you’ll get:
₦100 coupon for orders over ₦3,500
Two ₦100 coupons for orders over ₦10,000
₦200 coupon for orders over ₦20,000
₦500 coupon for orders over ₦50,000
₦1,000 coupon for orders over ₦100,000
Terms & Conditions:
Coupons must be used within 15 days of registration. After this period, they will expire.
One of the coolest features on Cardgoal is the Daily Bonus program. Every time you check in on the app, you get coins. If you check in for seven days in a row, you’ll earn 100 coins by the end of the week! If you miss a day, the streak resets. These coins can be converted into cash when you're making a gift card transaction.
1. How can I earn extra with Cardgoal beyond selling a card?
Four ways the article lists: the invitation reward, a new user bonus, a new user coupon pack, and a daily bonus.
2. What is the invitation reward?
A payment for referring someone who signs up and trades. It rewards bringing in people who actually use the platform rather than sign-ups alone.
3. What is the new user bonus?
A one-off reward credited when you join and complete the first steps on the account, so a new trader starts slightly ahead.
4. What is the new user coupon pack?
A set of coupons given to new accounts, applied against early trades rather than paid out as cash.
5. What is the daily bonus?
A reward for opening the app each day. Individually small, it accumulates for someone who trades regularly.
6. Do these affect the rate I get for a gift card?
No. The rate is set on the trade itself. These sit on top of it rather than changing what the card is worth.
7. Which of these is worth the most?
The invitation reward, since it pays per person rather than per day and has no ceiling built into it.
8. Do I need to trade to claim the daily bonus?
The daily bonus is tied to opening the app rather than to trading, which is what makes it the easiest of the four to collect.
9. Is there a catch with the new user offers?
They apply once, to a new account. Someone who already trades is not eligible for them a second time.
10. What is the fastest way to start earning?
Complete verification first, since payouts and rewards both depend on a verified account, then trade a card you are not going to use.
