Why Referral Rewards Are Reviewed Before Payment

Two people submit referral claims for the same customer. Admin reviews the referral history, customer contact details, job timing and payment status before deciding whether either reward is eligible. One referral was submitted first and came with a verifiable referral code. The other was submitted later with no code attached. Admin approves the first and declines the second, logging the decision with a reason.

Without a review process, both claims might be paid — or a dispute could drag on without resolution. The manual check kept things fair for the honest referrer and accurate for the business.

The customer may not proceed. The job may be cancelled. The invoice may not be paid. A payment may be refunded or disputed. More than one person may try to claim the same customer.

That is why Your IT & Tech Mates reviews rewards before payment. The review protects honest referrers, customers and the business. A reward only becomes eligible after the referred job has been completed, paid in full and reviewed. Rewards are generally held for at least 14 days after payment is confirmed.

The hold gives time to review refunds, disputes, duplicate referrals, customer cancellations, self-referrals, scam activity and misuse before any reward is released.

Before approving or paying a withdrawal, admin confirms:

• Invoice and payment status is confirmed
• The 14-day hold period has passed
• The available balance is at least $25
• The requested amount is covered by cleared available balance
• No unresolved fraud, refund or dispute flags are open
• Payout details and recipient identity are verified

If a flagged case still needs to be approved, admin enters an override reason explaining why the withdrawal was approved despite the review flag. This creates a clear record.

All referral rewards are eligible, not guaranteed. See the referral policy for the full terms, eligibility rules and fraud-prevention details.

Manual review may feel slower, but it helps keep the referral program fair. If rewards were instant, fake referrals and payment disputes could damage the system and reduce trust for everyone who uses it honestly.

A careful review process means the business can keep offering referral rewards without overpaying, under-checking or creating disputes. Honest referrers benefit because their legitimate rewards are protected from being diluted by fraudulent claims.

Check your referral dashboard for reward status. Read the referral policy before requesting a withdrawal, and make sure your payout details are correct before submitting the request.
