Why haven't I received my reward yet?
To claim your reward, both you and your friend need to fulfill specific criteria. Here's what you should check:
Was the correct referral link used? Ask your friend to look for a pending event under the Action Needed section on their Home tab. If they do not see it, they may have missed the link during signup. Ask them to reach out to us via the Support chat in the app so we can investigate.
Has the Switch Service been activated? Check if your friend has activated the Switch Service from their pending event. If they haven't activated it, they can do so directly in the app by following the steps below.
Is your friend in the Netherlands? This specific €100 promotion is exclusively for friends who reside in 🇳🇱 the Netherlands. For friends in other countries, other exciting rewards apply.
How to activate Switch Service
If your friend hasn't activated the Switch Service yet, they can do so easily by following these steps in the app:
Tap on your Profile in the top left corner.
Go to ⚙️ Settings.
Tap on Switch Service > Let's start.
Choose the Bank Account where you want to redirect your payments.
Register your Switch Service on the page you're redirected to.
All done and you're all set 🌈
