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.

This page details the Tradenomit (Professionals of Business and Technology) membership referral campaign and gift membership options. Existing union members can earn rewards by inviting colleagues, friends, or BBA students to join.
Referrers can select between future membership fee discounts or electronic SuperGiftCards valid across numerous retailers. Rewards for referring Full, Family, or Entrepreneur members follow an escalating tier model—earning up to €396 for five referrals within a calendar year, which fully offsets an annual membership fee. Additionally, members can gift graduating BBAs a dedicated 6-month membership.
How much can members earn through Tradenomit's referral reward tiers?
Referral rewards for Full, Family, and Entrepreneur members use a tiered system: 33 € for the 1st referral, 50 € for the 2nd (€83 total), 75 € for the 3rd (€158 total), 100 € for the 4th (€258 total), and 138 € for the 5th (€396 total). Recommending five full members within a calendar year provides €396, covering an entire year's membership fee. Referring a Gold or Black level student member earns a €20 reward.
What reward options can members choose from when referring a new member?
Referrers can choose between a discount on future membership fees or a SuperGiftCard redeemable at hundreds of online and physical retailers (such as Power, Iittala, H&M, and Zalando). If a membership fee discount exceeds the remaining fees for the year, the balance rolls over to the following year.
How does a new member report who referred them to Tradenomit?
When filling out the joining form, the new member must include the referrer's name and contact information (phone number, member number, or email) in the designated referral section. Referrers cannot be added retroactively once membership has started.
Are referral gift cards subject to taxation?
Yes. Pursuant to Finnish Tax Administration guidelines, gift card rewards are considered taxable income. Tradenomit reports all distributed referral rewards—including gift cards and fee discounts—to the Incomes Register. The recipient is personally responsible for any tax obligations.
