ChatGPT desktop referral: both users may receive 1,000 credits

A reported ChatGPT desktop referral offer gives both sides about 1,000 credits after the invitation is accepted. The credits can automatically help when a usage limit is reached, but they cannot pay for Plus or Pro subscriptions.

Eligibility

• Invited user: Community reports suggest the user should have used ChatGPT desktop little or not at all during the previous two months. New and existing accounts may qualify when the account shows the offer.
• Inviter: The account must still have an invitation available; not every account has one.
• Value: About 1,000 credits per person, reported as roughly $40 of usage value.

How to check

1. Check your ChatGPT account for a desktop or referral entry before inviting anyone.
2. Have the invited person download the official ChatGPT desktop app and sign in.
3. Accept the invitation and send one message to complete activation.
4. Use only people you know; do not post email addresses or login codes publicly.

This is an account-targeted referral observation, so the invitation inventory and rules may change without notice. It is separate from the older Codex reset-card promotion. Related discussion: NodeSeek.
