Hey guys. Just confirming the original banner contained an error. Terms are definitely $45 for you (referrer), $20 for your friend (referred), and your friend has 180 days to earn $10 in cashback (excluding bonuses & VPN purchases).
Also note that the $45 won’t appear in your account until such time your friend has achieved the $10 in pending cashback.
You can keep track of all your referrals on the following link:
All the best ☺️
Hey TA, can the 'friend' be a family member - specifically my sibling who lives in the same house as me and uses the same internet connection?
Why not, different email right? Some people log on at work or public WiFi - same ip address
failed for my family member, did ask why and been told same IP
@kajidzz: Was this for TCB? Because this was what happened with me on my ShopBack referral to my sibling - same reason, hence my question to TA. But I did check the T&C which stated 'The Tell-a-Friend referral scheme is intended to be used by individuals to promote to family Or friends.'
@Haunt: TA replied here.
@trixieb: Thank you!
Just clarifying that the random referral links that we have here on Ozb will get the $45 /$20(referred)?
The banner is updated. I'm just not sure if the random referral links are the same link?
I just clicked through from the random referral and it showed the upsized $45/20 offer when I signed up.
Much thanks.. I managed to get it too!
Hi TA, quick question, if i refer a family member and they purchase a lyca sim, will the bonus earned from that count towards the referral spend? As it does fulfil the $10 cashback earned criteria..
Hey. It's an eligible purchase, and provided all criteria is met on the retail page, then sure. Cheers.
Thanks very much! So, i should disregard the comments above stating that referring a family member living in the same household will not count as a valid referral?
My mom lives in the same house as me, can i refer her?
@trixieb: Yes would love clarification as i read their t and cs which say one per person, and we both are different persons so it should be ok i guess? Better to have clarification for joint families with multiple people in the same household sharing same internet but have their own devices
@tightarse
Can TCB match SB’s boosted $50 referral for referrer?
