★ Refer a friend, earn $50

Loved your stay? Pass it on.

For every friend who books their first K5 stay using your link, you earn $50 via Zelle. They get $50 off their first stay. No cap — refer ten people, earn $500.

How it works

Three steps, zero hassle.

1 · Get your link

After your first stay (or anytime — sign in & grab it), we generate a unique 6-character referral code tied to your account.

2 · Share it

Text it, email it, post it. Friends who book through your link get $50 off their first stay automatically.

3 · Get paid

When their stay is confirmed, we Zelle $50 to the email on your account. No invoices, no waiting periods, no max.

Make it easy

How to ask for the referral

Most people would happily refer if they knew it was a thing. The hard part is just asking. Copy these and personalize.

📱 Text message — to a friend


Hey! I just stayed at this place in St. Augustine through a direct-book site (skip Airbnb). Owner-operated, they put $50 in my pocket if you book through my link, and they take $50 off your first stay. Win-win:

Subject: Florida vacation rentals — direct-book, $50 off

Hi all — passing on something useful.

I've been using K5 Investment Group for vacation rentals (St. Augustine + a few other Florida spots). They're owner-operated by a Florida licensed contractor (Keith La Gala — 25+ years), so the homes are properly maintained instead of run by an absentee Airbnb host.

Direct-book skips the ~25% platform fee, and they have a referral program: $50 off your first stay if you use my link, $50 to me when you book.

💬 In-person — at brunch / family dinner


"Oh by the way, when you're booking your next Florida trip — skip Airbnb, use this place. Owned by an actual Florida contractor, super clean, and they do a referral thing where I get $50 and you get $50 off your first stay. I'll text you the link."

Tip: the best time to ask is right after someone says they liked your vacation, or when a friend mentions a trip they're planning. Hesitating > awkwardness — most people are happy to save $50 and help you out.

No catch

Frequently asked.

When do I get paid?

Within 7 days of your friend's stay being approved. We Zelle directly to the email on your account.

Is there a limit?

No. Refer 100 friends, earn $5,000.

What if my friend cancels?

We pay out after the stay is approved & deposit received. If they cancel before that, the referral becomes pending again — they can re-book later.

Can I refer myself / use my own link?

No, but if it's your first time at K5 you'll get the $50 new-guest credit automatically at checkout.

Can I refer my business clients / property managers?

Yes — we have a separate program for property managers and realtors who refer entire properties or repeat business. Contact Keith for the partner-tier rates.
