RCJ Referral Partner Program

Grow the community. Grow the impact. Earn along the way.

Rural Care Journey Referral Partners earn commission by introducing new paid customers to RCJ through their unique referral code. You share your RCJ referral link; RCJ tracks the referral and calculates your commission when an attributed customer purchases or renews an eligible subscription. Commissions are paid out through Stripe.

Year 1: 20%Year 2+: 10%Paid through Stripe

Referral Partner Guide

How links, attribution, commission, payouts and your dashboard work.

1. Get your link

Open your Referral Dashboard and select Copy link. Your link looks like https://www.ruralcarejourney.com?ref=RCJ-004.

You can add ?ref=YOUR-CODE to any RCJ page, for example:

  • Vendor Directory: https://www.ruralcarejourney.com/vendors?ref=YOUR-CODE
  • Vendor Matchmaker: https://www.ruralcarejourney.com/vendor-matchmaker?ref=YOUR-CODE

Always copy your link from the dashboard. A mistyped code is a different code and won't be credited to you. Built a link yourself? Paste it into Check a link on your dashboard before sharing: it tells you whether the link will credit you and gives you a corrected one if not.

2. Share it

Share it with people and organizations that could benefit from RCJ: rural hospitals and health systems, Critical Access Hospitals, FQHCs and RHCs, grant applicants, consultants, rural health professionals, technology companies, vendors and solution providers. Professional introductions, email, social media, newsletters, presentations and websites all work.

3. How attribution works

When someone visits through your link, RCJ remembers your code in their browser for 180 days. If they sign up or subscribe in that time, they're attributed to you. The first partner's code a visitor arrives with is the one that counts.

4. How you earn

  • 20% of what the customer pays (excluding tax) during their first 12 months.
  • 10% of their renewals after that.

Example: a customer subscribes to RCJ Pro at $29/month. You earn $5.80 a month in Year 1 and $2.90 a month from Year 2.

PlanPriceYear 1 (20%)Year 2+ (10%)
Pro$29/month$5.80$2.90
Vendor Essential$99/month$19.80$9.90
Team$199/month$39.80$19.90
Featured Vendor$299/month$59.80$29.90

5. Get paid

  1. Select Set up payouts on your dashboard (or use the link in your approval email) and complete Stripe's onboarding. It's a one-time step and needs a US bank account.
  2. Each commission is held for 30 days after the customer's payment.
  3. When your payable commission reaches US$50, RCJ sends it to your Stripe account in one transfer, and Stripe deposits it to your bank.
  4. Each January, RCJ also pays any balance of US$10 or more.

6. Read your dashboard

Your dashboard tracks Visits → Referrals → Revenue → Commission → Payouts:

  • Total visits: visits through your referral links.
  • Referrals: sign-ups and customers attributed to you.
  • Revenue generated: what attributed customers paid for eligible subscriptions.
  • Commission earned: your commission on that revenue.
  • Payouts: your Stripe setup status, the amount payable now, and your payout history.

Each commission in your revenue history has a status:

  • Pending: recorded, not paid yet. This includes commission still in its 30-day hold and commission waiting for the US$50 minimum.
  • Paid: sent to your Stripe account.
  • Voided: not payable, for example because the customer cancelled within the 30 days after that payment, or the payment was refunded.

The full terms are in the RCJ Referral Partner Agreement.

RCJ Referral Partner Agreement

Version 2026-10-31.2

1. About this Agreement

This Agreement is between you (the "Referral Partner") and AME Mobile Inc., which operates Rural Care Journey ("RCJ"). It sets out how you refer customers to RCJ and how RCJ pays you commission. You accept it by checking the box to agree when you join the RCJ Referral Partner Program and when RCJ asks you to agree to an updated version.

The Referral Partner Guide explains how to use the program day to day. If the Guide and this Agreement differ, this Agreement applies.

2. Eligibility and Approval

  • Referral Partners must have an RCJ member account.
  • RCJ reviews every request to join and may approve or decline it.
  • Your approval sets your referral code and your commission rates. Unless your approval says otherwise, the standard rates in section 5 apply.

3. Referral Codes and Attribution

  • Your referral code is unique to you and must be used exactly as provided. A different code, even a similar one (for example RCJ-R004 instead of RCJ-004), is not attributed to you.
  • When someone visits any RCJ page through a link containing your code (?ref=YOUR-CODE), RCJ records the visit and stores your code in a cookie in that visitor's browser for 180 days.
  • The first referral code a visitor arrives with is the one credited. A later visit with another partner's code doesn't replace it.
  • If the visitor creates an RCJ account or purchases an eligible subscription while the cookie is in place, RCJ attributes that customer to you.
  • Once a subscription is attributed to you, you keep the credit for that subscription, including its renewals.
  • RCJ may attribute a customer to you manually, for example when a legitimate introduction happened but the link wasn't captured, a technical issue prevented attribution, or the customer confirms you referred them. Manual attribution is at RCJ's discretion and isn't guaranteed.
  • If more than one Referral Partner claims the same customer, RCJ reviews its tracking, cookie and visit records, subscription records, manual attribution records and relevant communications, and makes a reasonable determination.

4. Eligible Referrals

A referral qualifies when:

  1. a new customer visits RCJ using your valid referral code, before or during their purchase;
  2. RCJ attributes the customer to your account;
  3. the customer purchases an eligible paid RCJ subscription; and
  4. the payment is successfully processed.

The program rewards new customer acquisition. A customer who already has an active paid RCJ subscription may not qualify as a new referral. Upgrades, plan changes and other existing-customer transactions may be included or excluded under RCJ's referral rules. RCJ's attribution and subscription records determine eligibility.

5. Commission

Unless your approval or a specific referral campaign states different terms, RCJ pays:

  • Year 1: 20% of each eligible subscription payment for a billing period that starts within the customer's first 12 months; and
  • Year 2 and beyond: 10% of each eligible renewal payment after the customer's first 12 months.

Commission is calculated on the amount the customer actually paid for the subscription, excluding taxes and after any discounts or credits. A free trial or other $0 payment earns no commission.

Commission continues on each renewal payment while the subscription stays active and the referral stays eligible. Eligible plans and prices are those in RCJ's subscription offering when the payment is made.

6. Holding Period, Cancellations and Refunds

  • Each commission is held for a period after the payment it comes from before it becomes payable: 30 days, unless your approval states otherwise. While held, it shows as Pending.
  • If the customer cancels the subscription within the holding period after a payment, the commission on that payment is Voided. Commission on payments that are past their holding period stays payable even if the customer cancels later.
  • If a payment is refunded, charged back, disputed, reversed or found to be fraudulent, RCJ may void or reverse the related commission.
  • If a commission that was already paid later becomes ineligible, RCJ may offset that amount against your future commissions, where legally permitted.

7. Payouts through Stripe Connect

  • RCJ pays commission through Stripe Connect. To receive it, you complete Stripe's onboarding using the payout setup link RCJ sends you or the Set up payouts button on your Referral Dashboard. Payouts currently require a United States bank account, and Stripe must verify your account before RCJ can pay you.
  • Stripe collects and stores your identity, bank and tax details directly. RCJ doesn't receive or store your bank account number or identity documents. Stripe's Connected Account Agreement applies to your Stripe account.
  • RCJ pays commission once it is past its holding period and your payable balance reaches the minimum payout of US$50.00. All payable commission is combined into one transfer. RCJ may set scheduled payout dates.
  • Each January, RCJ also pays any payable balance of US$10.00 or more that hasn't reached the minimum.
  • Payouts are transferred in US dollars to your Stripe account. Stripe then deposits them to your bank on your Stripe account's payout schedule.
  • If Stripe or your bank reverses a transfer, the related commission returns to Pending until RCJ resolves it.

8. Taxes

Referral commissions may be taxable income. You are responsible for meeting the tax requirements that apply to you. RCJ or Stripe may ask for tax information or issue tax documents where required.

9. Promotion and Prohibited Activity

You may promote RCJ professionally: share your referral link directly, introduce RCJ to colleagues, share RCJ resources, and include your link in professional social media, newsletters, presentations and appropriate websites.

You may not:

  • create fraudulent or artificial transactions;
  • manipulate referral attribution or tracking;
  • generate artificial traffic or clicks;
  • present yourself as an RCJ employee or authorized representative;
  • make commitments on behalf of RCJ;
  • guarantee grant funding, procurement success or other outcomes;
  • make misleading claims about RCJ, or use deceptive advertising;
  • impersonate RCJ;
  • intentionally claim another Referral Partner's referral; or
  • abuse refunds, chargebacks or payment reversals to generate commission.

RCJ may review suspicious activity, and may suspend your referral privileges and reverse commission connected with fraudulent or abusive transactions.

10. Privacy

Your Referral Dashboard shows the information you need to understand your referrals and commission calculations. RCJ will not show you customers' payment card details, banking information, passwords, private account data or other confidential information.

Partner names, commission rates and internal referral administration information stay private unless RCJ chooses to disclose them. Your public referral link contains only your referral code.

11. Partner Status

A Referral Partner account is either active or inactive (paused, suspended or closed). Only active Referral Partners receive credit for new referrals. Commission you have already earned is handled under the terms it was earned under.

12. Changes to this Agreement

RCJ may update this Agreement and the program, including commission rates, eligible plans, attribution rules, payout methods, minimum payout amounts, eligibility and promotional campaigns.

Changes apply going forward unless RCJ states otherwise. When this Agreement changes, you will be asked to review and agree to the updated version before you next use your Referral Dashboard. Commission you have already earned is handled under the terms it was earned under.

Simple rule: share your referral code. When an attributed customer pays RCJ, you earn a share of the subscription revenue. Year 1: 20%. Year 2+: 10%.
