The Spyglass
Look before you board.

Find the shops you already love, or spot new ones nearby. Through the spyglass you see a shop's reputation, what it offers new customers and what its advocates earn, all before you commit to anything.

⭐
Reputation first

How many players refer it, and how it treats them.

03 Network

First Mates
Friends first.

Your network is the people you already know. When a friend is an advocate somewhere, their referral link is yours to use. No strangers, no codes from the internet: one-to-one trust, the way a good recommendation has always worked.

Pull, not push

Nobody has to remember to send you a link. You look up what your friends have unlocked and take the one you want. That search is Loot Scout →

04 Squad

The Stash
One shared stash. Everyone gets access.

A squad is friends who pool their keys. Squadmates bring their referral links and welcome gifts together, so the whole group can claim from any of them. Every person you add widens what the squad can reach.

Reach

Five mates. Twenty-three shops in the stash.

Each squadmate's keys join the pile. Add a sixth and their shops are in it too. The stash only grows.

🧰

The stash

Every squadmate drops their referral links and welcome gifts into one shared pile. The stash is the sum of what the whole squad has unlocked.

🔓

Access

Join the squad and the stash is open to you. A shop one squadmate is an advocate at is a shop the whole squad can claim loot from.

⚙️

Autopilot

Links run themselves. Nobody sends anything; when you claim from the stash the right link is used, and the right squadmate gets the credit.

05 Reputation

Your Colours
Fly them where shops can see.

Your colours are the standing you earn by referring places you actually like. Pirates fly their flag so everyone knows who is coming; you fly yours on your profile, and the shops you walk into see it.

Personal layer
What you vouch for

Your standing grows with the friends you bring to shops you love. Referring everywhere, for anything, does not.

Squad layer
A strong squad adds weight

Sail with a squad in good standing and some of it rubs off. Shops see who you sail with.

FAQ

Good questions.

A scavenger hunt where the treasure is real: the referral rewards your favourite shops already offer. You get rewarded for your network instead of your wallet.

Yes. The free tier lets you create one squad (so a set number of people can use your referral code) and join a few others. A paid tier unlocks more squad slots and more memberships when the free limits start costing you reach. The exact limits and price are being finalised.

The shops do. Every prize in LootSquad is a referral reward a business already offers through its LeadBounty program, like a free coffee for bringing a friend. LootSquad just makes those rewards findable through your network.

The referral search engine inside LootSquad. Instead of waiting for someone to send you a link, you look up the rewards your friends have already unlocked, pick one, and claim it. Pull, not push. See how Loot Scout works →
