Definitely on to. Onto shows you are climbing "onto" something. "I climbed onto the horse to ride it". For your purposes, "I will pass this great offer and the great job you do on to my friends".

Why not shorten it and take away the option.

Pass this card and special offer to a friend, we LOVE referrals.

Why not just say "give this card to a friend"?

I will agree with George,

Pass this card and special offer to a friend, we LOVE referrals.

I don't like the way "feel Free" comes across

"We love referrals" is a separate sentence. End the first sentence with a period. Then write "We love referrals." as a separate sentence.
