It’s time to roll up your sleeves and boost the BBA community! Do you know a BBA or a BBA student who isn’t a member yet? Tell them about us and earn rewards or give a membership as a gift!
The BBA community is the strongest when there is a lot of us. The best way to grow our numbers is to recommend membership to your friends and colleagues. When your BBA friend joins and mentions you as the person who recommended they join, you get a referral reward. The best part is that with each recommendation your reward value increases.
Tell a colleague or a friend why a membership in the Professionals of Business and Technology is a good idea.
Ask your friend to fill out the membership form from the button below. They must write your name and phone number on the “membership referrer” part of the form.
When the new member has paid their first membership fee you will receive an email. From the link in the email you can choose your preferred referral reward.
If you chose the membership fee reward, i.e., a discount on your future membership fees, here is more information on how it works. The more friends you get to join and list you as their referrer, the more valuable the reward you will receive.
The reward model for full members is tiered. You get a good starting bonus for your first referral, and going forward, each new member elevates you to the next reward level.
For referring a student membership, you receive a 20€ reward for a Gold or Black level member.
Full, Family, and Entrepreneur members:
💝 If you acquire five new full members during a calendar year, you will have earned a total of 396 € in benefits – this corresponds to the entire year’s membership fee!
These terms apply to the Tradenomit membership referral campaign, in which members are rewarded for acquiring new members. The campaign is valid until further notice.

Members of the Professionals of Business and Technology (Tradenomit) can earn rewards by referring BBA professionals and students to join the union. Referrers can choose between discounts on their future membership fees, a SuperGiftCard usable at numerous stores, or other seasonal gift cards. The referral reward structure is tiered for full members—earning up to €396 across five referrals, which equals a full year's membership fee—while student referrals provide a €20 reward. Additionally, members can gift a 6-month membership to graduating BBAs to support them as they transition into their professional careers.
