Hi Pietro, if you click the button it links to your referral page where you can invite other people to join Treehouse. If people join after being referred by you then you'll receive a discount on your monthly bill.

Each one gives you a 20% discount, so 5 active referrals = a free account.

It's a link inviting you to get a free account by referring people. It doesn't mean that you have one.
