Good question and this is something we have just addressed.

When someone registers after coming in through another users myRewards link, we record the original referrer (let’s call her Anna) against the new user’s (let’s call her Barbara) account.

The first order tracked against the new user’s (Barbara’s) link (whether made by them or someone else using it) is then credited wholly to the original referrer (Anna) and not the new user.

For all subsequent orders tracked through the new user’s (Barbara’s) link, the original referrer (Anna) receives a 2.5% reward. Plus, the new user (Barbara) gets the regular standard rate of 10%.

So, by recruiting new myRewards users Anna will benefit from the full reward on Barbara’s or Barbara’s referrals first order. Anna will then get a 2.5% reward on every single order Barbara makes or generates through her link from non-registered users.

Now, say Carrie who Barbara brought in with her myRewards link, joins the programme. At this point, Barbara is registered as her original referrer. And, the link from Carrie’s orders to Anna’s rewards is cut. When orders are tracked through Carrie’s link, Barbara is credited as the original referrer and Anna no longer receives any rewards.

But, for all Barbara’s referrals who are not registered at the point of reward, Anna continues to receive 2.5%. And, Anna will always receive 2.5% of Barbara’s orders as rewards.

This seems the fairest way to protect myRewards users’ referral earnings, while ensuring the scheme is economically viable for pressies4princesses.

We would love to hear what you and other users think of this set-up.

Steve
