Referrals & Credits

How Referrals & Credits Work

Refer friends, earn CageList credit, and use it toward your bookings. Here's everything you need to know.

How a booking's price breaks down

Prices are all-in and itemized at checkout. Here's a full example — a 2.5-hour booking of a $40/hr cage, plus a $5/hr bucket-of-balls add-on:

Cage time ($40/hr × 2.5 hrs)$100.00

Bucket of balls add-on ($5/hr × 2.5 hrs)$12.50

Host-priced subtotal$112.50

Guest service fee (10% of cage time)$10.00

Total the guest pays$122.50

Host commission (10%, from the subtotal)−$11.25

Host payout$101.25

CageList keeps (guest fee + host commission)$21.25

It all reconciles: the guest pays $122.50, which is the host's payout ($101.25) plus what CageList keeps ($21.25). The 10% guest service fee applies to cage time only — add-ons aren't surcharged to the guest — while the host's 10% commission applies to cage time and add-ons alike.

Frequently Asked Questions

Share your referral link. When a friend you refer completes their first paid booking, you both earn $10 in credit — signing up alone doesn't earn anything. It's one shared link: if the person you refer becomes a host instead, you earn $25 when their cage is published and approved, and they earn $25 on their first paid booking.
