#disclaimer. This post includes an official affiliate link for the Federal Scapia credit card. Pickmycard.in earns a commission on approved applications. The Apply Now link routes through the affiliate programme, not a personal referral link. See the note at the end of this post.
Most referral programmes reward how loudly you shout. Scapia's 2026 campaign rewards how selectively you share.
The referral programme is not listed on the public Scapia website. It sits inside the app only, accessible under Refer and Earn. I confirmed the offer details and terms directly with the Scapia support team in June 2026 to make sure the information here is accurate. My personal take: this is the kind of programme that works precisely because it stays quiet. Once referral links circulate publicly, the economics tend to break down and offers like this rarely last long.
What the current campaign pays
The rewards are tiered and not cumulative. You receive one reward at the highest milestone you reach during the campaign.
The tiers for the current campaign, confirmed directly with Scapia support in June 2026:
- ₹200 in Scapia Coins per successful referral during the campaign period
- ₹1,500 Flipkart Gift Card on reaching 3 successful referrals (Milestone 1)
- ₹25,000 Flipkart Gift Card on reaching 6 successful referrals (Milestone 2)
- Apple Watch SE 3 (GPS + Cellular, 44mm, any colour) on reaching 10 successful referrals (Milestone 3)
Here is what Milestones 2 and 3 look like inside the Scapia app:
The non-cumulative rule is the one that surprises people. Reaching 10 referrals earns you the Apple Watch SE 3 and nothing else. The ₹25,000 gift card does not come with it. Reaching 6 referrals earns you the ₹25,000 gift card and not the ₹1,500 card alongside it.
Flipkart Gift Card digital codes arrive by email within 7 days of campaign end and are valid for 12 months from date of issue. The Apple Watch SE 3 is dispatched within 4 to 6 weeks of campaign end, with delivery timeline varying by location.
Scapia rotates campaign terms. These tiers are current as of June 2026. Cross-check in the Refer and Earn section of your Scapia app before sharing, since the rewards may have changed by the time you are reading this.
One caveat on timing: Scapia has not officially published the start or end date of the current campaign. In practice, campaigns typically run for several weeks, and Scapia generally announces the closing window 5 to 15 days before a campaign ends. Keep an eye on the Refer and Earn section in the app for any such notice before you start sharing.
How a referral counts
A referral is credited to you only after all three steps complete:
- Your referred friend applies using your personal referral link from inside the Scapia app
- Federal Bank approves their application
- They complete the full onboarding process and activate the card
A referral does not count if your friend has previously applied for a Scapia card, even if that prior application was rejected. Applications referred before you yourself completed onboarding and activated your card are also excluded.
The activation step is the gate. Coins are not credited on application. They are credited after card activation.
The rule Scapia is actively enforcing
Sharing a personal Scapia referral link on any public forum (Instagram, Twitter/X, Reddit, or any other public channel) is against the programme terms, and Scapia is enforcing this actively in 2026.
The confirmed consequences: referral benefits are invalidated and the cardholder is permanently removed from eligibility for all future Scapia referral campaigns. Not a warning. Not a temporary suspension. A permanent block.
The reason Scapia enforces this hard is structural. When personal referral links circulate publicly, strangers apply with no intent to hold the card, the referrer collects the milestone reward, and the referred person churns immediately. Over enough cycles this depletes the campaign budget. Enforcement is what keeps the programme running for genuine referrers.
Share your link directly, one-to-one, to people who are genuinely looking for a travel card.
The right way to do this
If you hold the Scapia card, find your personal referral link in the Refer and Earn section of the app. Share it directly with specific people. Do not post it in a group chat, a forum thread, or a public social post.
If you are considering applying for the Scapia card and a friend holds one, apply through their personal link on a one-to-one basis, not through a link found in a public thread or feed. Referral links shared publicly often belong to cardholders already flagged by Scapia, and using them may complicate your own application.
Applying through pickmycard.in's Apply Now button routes through the official programme and you would be naturally eligible for the affiliate programme, since this is not a personal referral link. Apply through it if you are starting independently rather than through a friend's referral.

Frequently asked
How many Scapia Coins do I earn per referral in 2026?
The current campaign pays ₹200 worth of Scapia Coins for each successful referral during the campaign period. Campaign terms rotate periodically. Check the Refer and Earn section in the Scapia app for the most current rates before sharing your link.
Can I post my Scapia referral link on social media?
No. Scapia prohibits public sharing of personal referral links on social media. Doing so can result in your referral benefits being invalidated and a permanent ban from future referral campaigns. Scapia confirmed this enforcement is active as of June 2026.
Is the Apply Now link on pickmycard.in a personal Scapia referral link?
No. The Apply Now button on pickmycard.in routes through an affiliate programme, not a personal referral link. Using it does not consume another cardholder's referral allocation and is not subject to the social-media sharing restriction.
How long does it take to receive Scapia referral rewards?
Flipkart Gift Card codes are emailed within 7 days of the campaign end date and remain valid for 12 months. The Apple Watch SE 3 prize (10 referrals) is dispatched within 4 to 6 weeks of campaign end. Delivery timeline depends on location.
Do Scapia referral rewards stack across milestones?
No. Rewards are not cumulative. Qualifying for the ₹25,000 Flipkart Gift Card tier at 6 referrals means you receive that reward only. The lower-tier ₹1,500 gift card is not paid on top of it. Each user earns one reward per campaign period.
