1. Your friend did not click your referral link before making a purchase.

If your referral link is not clicked, no referral will be attributed to you.

2. Your friend clicked someone else's referral link before clicking your referral link to make a purchase.

The referral is attributed to the 1st referral link clicked before a purchase is made.

3. Your friend completed the purchase using a different device and browser from the one used to click your referral link.

Referral tracking is cookie-based and is dependent on the friend completing the purchase in the same browser and device that was also used to click the referral link.

4. Your friend's purchase is below the minimum amount required to be considered for a reward.

A retailer may set a minimum purchase amount for a referred purchase to be considered rewardable and is often communicated as part of the referral program.
Please check with the retailer directly for details.

5. The minimum number of referred purchases required for a referral reward have not yet been met.

This minimum number is determined by the retailer and is often communicated as part of the referral program. You will receive an email letting you know that a friend used your link to make a purchase and you will receive another email once the purchase is verified and the required number of purchases have been made.
Please check with the retailer directly for details.

6. The Referred Purchase Review Period is still in effect

You will have received a "Reward Pending" email.
During this period (which varies from retailer to retailer), the retailer may have disqualified the referral or deleted the purchase (e.g. if fraud is discovered or if the purchase is returned).
After this period, referral rewards earned become eligible to be sent out.

1. You have not yet selected your cash reward preference and entered your PayPal email address

After a successful referred purchase has been made using your referral link, you will be sent an email to select your reward preference and enter your PayPal email address. Please follow the instructions in the email.

*If you haven't setup a PayPal account yet, please do so first at PayPal.com.

2. We haven't collected the reward amount from the retailer yet

ReferralCandy pays out cash referral rewards to advocates on behalf of the retailer only after we have collected the amount from the retailer. Since invoicing happens once a month, there may be up to a month's delay before you receive your cash reward (depending on when we invoice the retailer).
