How Do I Get Past the Waitlist?
Peanut is invite-only. When you sign up without an invite code, you land on the Peanut Jail screen. Don't worry, getting in is easy.
What is the Peanut Jail?
If you don't have an invite code, you'll see a screen that shows your prisoner number and asks for an invite code. It says "No bail without an invite." You need a code to skip the waitlist and create your account.
How to Skip the Waitlist
The fastest way: ask a friend who uses Peanut. Every user has invite codes they can share. Just ask them to send you their code or referral link and enter it on the jail screen.
Other ways to get in:
- Skip-waitlist URLs — Many of Peanut's articles and pages have sign-up buttons that bypass the waitlist entirely. No code needed.
- Promo codes — Enter a promo code on the jail screen to skip.
- Direct invite links — If a friend sends you their referral link, the code is included automatically. Just open it and sign up.
Referral Rewards
When you use a friend's invite code, both of you benefit:
- You receive $1.00 in surprise rewards split across your first two QR payments after activation ($0.35 first, then $0.65)
- Your friend starts earning a share of revenue from your transactions, ongoing
Once you're in, you'll also get your own invite codes to share and earn from. See How to Invite Friends & Earn for full details.
