Recruit-A-Friend Guide for World of Warcraft
This complete World of Warcraft Recruit A Friend guide explains how the system works, how to send invites, and all the rewards you and your friends can earn by playing together.
How Does Recruit A Friend Work in World of Warcraft
The Recruit A Friend system is designed to reward players for building WoW's playerbase by inviting their friends to play the game. There are benefits for both parties.
You can access the Recruit A Friend system via a tab in the in-game social menu(O key). Using this system, you can send an email link to friends, and if they enable a subscription via your link, both of you will get rewards.
You can invite up to 10 friends via this system. The rewards cannot be duplicated, although they can be achieved more quickly if you have multiple friends subscribing at once.

Recruit A Friend rewards are based on how many months' worth of subscription that your friend(s) have signed up for after using your Recruit A Friend invitation.
These rewards work regardless if the same person has subscribed for 6 months, or if 3 different people have subscripted for 2 months each, for example.
In addition from these material rewards, your recruitee will recieve a 30 slots bag after doing Exile's Reach. You both also unlock an ability that lets you summon each other every 30 minutes!
After the 6 months are up, you also gain a free 30 days of Game Time every 3 months thereafter, indefinitely while your friends remains subscribed. There is a cap that each recruitee can only contribute 12 months total per account.

How to Get Recruit A Friend Rewards Solo?
It is possible to benefit from Recruit A Friend rewards alone by simply inviting yourself on a separate email and thus Battle.net account and enabling a subscription there. Keeping the account subscribed will get you all the rewards mentioned above.
