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 simple example — a 1-hour booking of a $50/hr cage:

Cage time (1 hr × $50/hr)$50.00

Guest service fee (10% of cage time)$5.00

Total the guest pays$55.00

Host commission (10%)−$5.00

Host payout$45.00

CageList keeps (guest fee + host commission)$10.00

It all reconciles: the guest pays $55.00, which is the host's payout ($45.00) plus what CageList keeps ($10.00). The 10% guest service fee applies to cage time, and the host's 10% commission comes out of cage time too.

With a $10 CageList credit, this booking drops to $45.00 — the credit comes straight off what you pay, and your host is still paid their full $45.00. Credit applies to bookings of $50 or more (cage price, before the service fee), up to $10 off per booking. Unused credit stays on your account for a future booking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Share your referral link. When a friend you refer finishes their first completed session, 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 both earn $25 when that new host finishes their first completed session as a Host (listing approval alone doesn't earn credit).
