HERE IS HOW IT WORKS:

1. REGISTER YOURSELF

2. WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR CONFIRMATION IN YOUR EMAIL, SHARE THE UNIQUE REFERRAL LINK WITH OTHERS YOU KNOW.

3. WHEN THOSE THAT YOU REFER, REGISTER USING YOUR UNIQUE REFERRAL LINK, YOU EARN A CREDIT.

4. WHEN YOU HAVE EARNED 5 REFERRAL CREDITS (PAID REGISTRATIONS), YOU WILL AUTOMATICALLY RECEIVE $5 BACK ON THE CREDIT CARD YOU USED TO ORIGINALLY REGISTER. AFTER THE 5 REFERRALS HAVE BEEN ACHIEVED, THEREAFTER FOR EVERY PAID REGISTRATION THAT YOU REFER YOU WILL RECEIVE $1 BACK. WE WILL ONLY STOP PAYING FOR REFERRALS ONCE THE AMOUNT YOU RECEIVE BACK IN REFERRAL MONEY EQUALS THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR YOUR REGISTRATION.

VERY IMPORTANT - IN ORDER TO RECEIVE A REFERRAL CREDIT, THE PEOPLE YOU REFER HAVE TO USE YOUR UNIQUE REFERRAL LINK TO REGISTER. WE ARE UNABLE TO MAKE ANY MANUAL ADJUSTMENTS.
