Refer parent friends to enter the Refer-A-Friend raffle. The $1000 Refer-A-Friend Scholarship can earn you and a friend $1,000 each! Each friend who signs up gives you 1 ticket 🎟️. The more friends you successfully refer, the higher your chances to win!
How to refer friends
Refer friends one of three ways:
Through the $1000 Refer-A-Friend Scholarship
Sharing your customized sign-up link
Sending your friends an email invite
1. Fill out the referral scholarship application.
On the right side of your Referrals page, you will find the link to apply for the $1000 Refer-A-Friend Scholarship.
2. Share your sign-up link with more friends.
Be sure to use the custom link in your profile.
3. Send your friends an email invite.
Enter your friends' email addresses to invite them via email.
When using this option, type in your friends' email address, then hit enter, before typing in the next email address or hitting send. After typing the email address and hitting enter, the "Send" button will turn green.
How to see how many successful referrals you've made
If your friends sign up for a Going Merry account and they verify their account, you'll receive a 🎟️ ticket for each friend that signs up!
Remember, to receive a ticket, your friends must sign up as a result of one of the following:
You filled out the referral scholarship application, or
You shared your sign-up link with them, or
You sent your friends an email invite from your Referrals page.
Refer more friends for more tickets to increase your chance of winning!
How to track referrals
The Referral Tracker section of your Referrals page shows you how many referrals you sent through the $1000 Refer-A-Friend Scholarship or by inviting parent friends via email.
If you refer parent friends by sharing your sign-up link, they won’t appear in your list of Referrals until they actually sign up.
You'll notice that your referrals have a Status.
Awaiting sign up means your friend has not signed up for an account yet.
Pending email confirmation means your friend signed up for an account but still needs to verify their email address (you will not receive a ticket until they verify their email address).
Confirmed sign up! 👍 means your friend has successfully signed up for an account and verified their email. You will receive a ticket when your friends' status is Confirmed sign up! 👍.
If you invite a parent friend and receive the message below, that means your friend already has an account. You cannot refer them or receive a ticket for referring them because they already have an account.
