Who would say no to a saving of 50% on the cost of a holiday or a free taxi ride at the right time?

In this article I’ll talk about how to take advantage of “referrals” in order to save money on hotels, restaurants and transportation.

What are referrals? People (friends or family) who sign up on your invitation (and with a special link) on a website or app. Often this action is “rewarded” with credit that can be used on services in question.

Visit Sheradill website

€20 of credit by signing up through this referral link: http://sheradill.com/?ref=09e470

The site allows you to rent luxury accommodations (4 and 5 stars) in Europe and the rest of the world with discounts up to 90%.

How? You choose a promotion, which starts at a price already partially discounted and you start to perform various social actions, such as sharing the link to the page of the offer on Twitter.

Every social action offers a discount from €2 to €20. In addition each referred friend via your referral link (I leave you my bottom) earns €20 credit to both!

Get Uber on the App Store

€10 discount on your first ride by subscribing through this referral link: http://uber.com/invite/geu1q

Get around town is always an issue, and people like me who lives in Rome, yet knows better what I mean. If you know friends who do not use Uber feel free to invite them to join!

They will receive a voucher from €10 and completed their first run will add a good from €10to your profile.

Get Deliveroo on the App Store

€10 off your first order by signing up through this referral link: http://roo.it/carlottat7198

Deliveroo has landed in Italy in November 2015 starting to serve meals on wheels in Milan. A few months later to March 2016, it was Rome.

The choice of restaurants in Rome is extensive, but I miss some Japanese restaurant. De gustibus!

Once ordered, the app can check the status of your order and, icing on the cake, follow the position of bellhop who is carrying the food to the requested address.

I have used Deliveroo several times already and even when I ordered gelato in summer has arrived in perfect condition. Recommended!

Get Hotel Tonight on the App Store

€20 discount on first booking by entering the code CATATTI after signing up.

Direct competitor of Booking and Airbnb, the app has last-minute deals on the best hotels with booking up to one week in advance.

Get Airbnb on the App Store

€30 discount on your first reservation by registering through this referral link: http://airbnb.com/c/ctatti

Probably the most famous site for reserving accommodation after Booking, also has a sharing system with referrals very substantial, valid for both business that for hosts.

You receive €30 discount for the first booking (the owner of the referral receives €35) and if you host someone own referral receives other €65.

Be sure to spread your Airbnb referral link among fellow travelers and friends entrepreneurs!
