What counts toward my Pick a Perk goal?
The activity that counts depends on the goal you selected.
Your 30-day period begins when you press Confirm. Activity completed before confirmation does not count.
Referral goals
If your goal involves getting friends to spend, each friend must:
Join ether.fi using your referral link or code during your 30-day goal period.
Spend the required amount shown in your goal using their own ether.fi card.
Important: Referring a friend alone does not count. Your friend must also meet the spending requirement.
Your perk page displays Friends spending, showing how many referred friends have met the required spending amount.
You can find your referral link in the Affiliate section of the app.

Deposit goals
Your deposit goal specifies where you need to add funds:
ether.fi account: Deposits to your account count toward your target, including deposits into Liquid.
Liquid: Only deposits made into Liquid count. Regular account top-ups do not qualify.
You can reach your target through one deposit or multiple deposits.
Important information for Liquid goals:
Withdrawing from Liquid before reaching your target ends your goal.
If this happens, your status changes to Ended after withdrawal, and you can select a new perk.
When your Liquid deposits reach the target, the app displays Liquid target reached. We are confirming recent activity.
Your perk unlocks once the activity verification is complete.
For more information about depositing into Liquid, see https://help.ether.fi/en/articles/517109-how-liquid-works
Card spending goals
If your goal involves card spending, eligible purchases made with your ether.fi card during your 30-day period count toward your target.
Keep in mind:
Pending purchases appear in your progress but only count once they settle.
Refunds and reversed transactions reduce your progress.
ATM withdrawals, cash advances, and other cash-equivalent transactions do not count.
If your pending purchases would bring you to your target, the app displays:
Your pending purchases bring you to the goal. Your perk unlocks once settled spending meets the target.
Your perk unlocks once your settled purchases meet the required spending amount.
