In the past if you wanted to call Pakistan or another distant country you had to pay a large phone bill. Now, companies are actually paying you to make calls. Referral programs for a variety of things are popping up as a means to promote and expand businesses. By joining a referral program you can earn points, credits, or money for simply referring your friends to the program and receiving credit when they sign up and when they use the service.
Some of the businesses you can earn referral credits from include cell phone companies, computer companies, online businesses, and calling plan companies. Each company has their own referral policy and the rewards vary based on how the referrals work. But with competition for clients growing in all industries, consumers are able to take advantage of the rewards.
How a Referral Program Works
While the rewards may be different for each program, the general idea of referring people is the same for most companies. You get a user ID or ID number that you give out to friends and family. When you tell them about the product, make sure they know to input your unique user number or name in order to give you credit for referring them to the program. The company will then automatically track who signs up under you and how often they use the service.
Some transactions can be completed online, while others are handled at retail outlets or over the phone. For example, if you make a lot of international calls, you may utilise a discount calling service to help you save money. Most of these services offer their referral programs completely online, allowing you and your friends and family access to the service and the rewards without having to speak with anyone or visit any retail outlet. Now your friends and family can call Pakistan for a discount and help you earn credits.
Types of Rewards
For cell phone providers, the typical referral reward is money towards your phone bill and the ability to speak with referred friends for free 24/7. For a discount calling service, they will typically give you a percentage of referred members' payment. This means that the more people you refer, the more money you can earn toward making international calls.
If you refer enough people who utilise the service regularly, you may hardly have to recharge your account yourself, but rather make calls using the money earned for you by referred members. Remember the next time you call Pakistan that you could technically be making the call for free.
