Extreme Hotel Deals outlines an opportunity to generate vouchers for free flights.
Bravofly is a Swiss-based set of online booking sites. The Russian and Ukrainian versions of their site has a rewards program, Bravofriends, that will give you credit just for referring people — no purchase necessary.
You’ll need Google translate to use the site unless your language skills are top-notch.
Here’s Extreme Hotel Deals’ referral link, I’m not using my own. They outlined the deal and they deserve some props. It’s no cost to sign up using a referral link, feel free to leave yours in the comments so someone might use it.
When you open an account you get a $30 voucher a roundtrip flight. Site site has a $20 service charge, so it’s a net of $10.
Each friend who creates an account generates $1.30 for you. Signup is easy and quick. People without real friends or even social skills can probably still scale this.
Extreme Hotel Deals notes that you shouldn’t use translation on the redemption page when you use your credits (16 digit codes you’ll receive by e-mail) at check out or you’ll get an error.
There doesn’t seem much limit, though it will be interesting to see how they handle things when people generate hundreds of referrals and redeem tickets. I wouldn’t count on this working, and go enforce this against a Swiss company’s Russian website.

How is this not a pyramid scheme?
@anon – you don’t buy anything to generate the credits
Seems like I could just create 200 accounts. Periods between letters in gmail accounts will probably help.
Stefan, that’s against the terms. Can also tell you that people who have done that have gotten accounts shut down quick.
I’d suggest googling Bravofly to see one of the longest scandal threads on the web on Trip Advisor. I get an alert from the thread every few days of someone else they’ve ripped off. It appears to have been set up for that purpose.
