A few things to know.
Clear rewards. A simple way to share.
Who can apply?
Creators, breakers, card shops, and collecting communities can apply. Tell us where you share, who your audience is, and how you would introduce them to DCM Grading. Every application is reviewed.
Do I need a DCM Grading account?
Yes. Use the email associated with your DCM Grading account when you apply so we can credit your rewards to the right account.
What counts as a qualifying referral?
A new customer must make their first paid purchase on dcmgrading.com through your referral link or code. Free grades do not count. Rewards are granted once per new customer. Direct your audience to the website: purchases inside the iOS app cannot use codes or be tracked.
When do I receive my credits?
Your 20 grading credits are added automatically when a referred new customer completes their first qualifying paid purchase. Credits never expire. If that purchase is refunded, the referral credits are removed.
What if someone buys later?
Referral links are tracked for 30 days, so a qualifying purchase during that window can still earn you credits. Your audience can also enter your code at checkout on dcmgrading.com.
Can the discount be combined with member pricing?
No. The 15% discount applies to the first purchase at list price and cannot be combined with Card Lovers or Founder member pricing.
Are the rewards cash payments?
Rewards are DCM grading credits. One credit covers one card grade or re-grade, so each qualifying referral earns enough credits for 20 card grades.
