📋 How it works in practice

A neighbour books and completes a paid printer help job. You choose the matching rescue card, pick the message style and send it. They can open it, read what happens next, and decide whether to ask for help.

Real examples

  • A neighbour books and completes a paid printer help job.
  • A family member completes a paid phone setup visit.
  • A business completes a paid IT support job.
  • A cancelled, unpaid or refunded job may not qualify.
  • A fake, self-made or duplicate referral may not qualify.

How this makes life easier

  • Makes the benefit clear before people ask.
  • Keeps the reward wording honest.
  • Protects customers from misleading promises.
  • Encourages useful referrals, not spam.
  • Helps the team review referrals fairly.

When a reward may apply

A reward may be reviewed after the referred person books and completes a paid job. The referral needs to be genuine, eligible and connected through the referral path.

When a reward may not apply

Cancelled jobs, unpaid jobs, refunded jobs, fake referrals, self-referrals, duplicate referrals, ineligible bookings or jobs outside the terms may not qualify.

Why it says “may receive up to 5%”

The wording avoids overpromising. It explains the possible thank-you benefit while leaving room for eligibility checks under the referral terms.

Safety and reward notes

Only share referral messages with people you know or reasonably think may want the information. Do not share passwords, banking codes, PINs, payment details, private student work or one-time login codes. If the person books and completes a paid job, you may receive up to 5% of the completed job value where the referral is eligible under the referral terms.
