Rivian

What each Rivian build earns

What happens after you order

1. 1

   Order placed

   The code has to be attached at this point. Rivian will not add a referral once the order is in.

2. 2

   Configuration window

   Change trim, colour and options as normal. The referral stays where it is.

3. 3

   Build and ship

   Nothing to do. The perk sits on the order until the car arrives.

4. 4

   Delivery day

   Your three months on the Adventure Network start counting from here.

5. 5

   Points land

   Rivian's support page says within 24 hours of delivery. Owners often report closer to two weeks. If nothing shows after that, contact Rivian with your order number.

How Rivian Rewards actually work

Rivian runs this itself, so there is no coupon and nobody in the middle. You attach a referral code to a new R1T or R1S order, and after the car is delivered Rivian credits both sides.

Points are the main currency. They sit in your Rivian account and buy things from the Gear Shop and the R1 Shop. Accessories, apparel, gear. Rivian's terms also allow them against a future vehicle purchase, but not toward a deposit, a reservation, taxes or regulatory fees.

One thing to know before you count the value. Rivian does not publish a dollar figure per point anywhere on its own site. The one point to one dollar figure you see quoted everywhere traces back to press coverage at the 2024 launch, not to Rivian. Treat it as a strong hint rather than a promise.

Which Rivians qualify

Only new R1 orders earn points, which means the R1T pickup and the R1S SUV. An R2 order earns nothing, though points you already hold can go toward one.

Where the code goes, and when

The code has to be on the order before you submit it. This is the part people get wrong, and it is unforgiving. Rivian will not attach a referral afterwards and there is no appeal, so a code you remember on delivery day is worth nothing.

Opening Rivian through the button on this page attaches ORVILLE4692482 for you, and you can leave it alone from there. Ordering another way, in a Rivian Space or on the phone with a guide? Give them the code before anything is signed, then check it actually shows on the order summary.

Where this will not work

Rivian's rewards terms carve out Ohio and Virginia. California caps the referring side at 25 a year, which has no effect on you as a buyer. Beyond that the program covers US residents in states where it is permitted, so outside that footprint the code does nothing.

Who is behind this page

EVwire is an independent EV newsletter read by around 14,000 people. We keep one working Rivian referral code in one place, check it monthly, and show the date we last checked it.

Rivian's program credits both sides of a referral, so the code holder earns points when an order goes through. Your price does not move and the perk you get is identical to any other valid code. If the code ever stops working, email jaan@evwire.com and we will fix this page or pull it down.
