Hi folks, 

We are thrilled to announce that referrals now work and track. These are live as of 7:00PM January 8 2024. That means from now on if you want to spread the word about WIQ and the people you're spreading it to sign up, you get paid woohoo :) And the referral bonus is very generous and industry leading at a whopping 20% of the sale amount. 

The 7 minute video below outlines the process in great detail. Now if you don't have 7 minutes to watch it - go through the cliff notes below the video.

. . 

Cliff Notes
1 - Head to the My Accounts page - and go to the referrals tab or hit this link  https://weatheriq.com.au/account/referrals

2 - Click on your referral username to copy it into your clipboard - in my video example you can see how to do this.

3 - Find a friend/family member or acquaintence who is keen to join or you think could be keen to join and give them/email them/message them that code to use in the checkout when they subscribe for the first time. 

4 - Once a user has completed their checkout, you get an email to say congratulations and thank you for making a sale for us and how much you made (the current rate on the 8th Jan 2024 for an Eyewall Lite sale is $7.99 or for an Eyewall Pro sale is $10.99). The amount you made is automatically credited against your account to offset your future subscription costs. However, here's the fun part - if you make more than 2 years worth of store credit for us in a year we will start paying any future sales out in cash for you at the end of the financial year (June 30). Very handy if you're an influencer in the Weather Space/Social space with a large audience.

A couple of notes
1 - Referrals are only available to Stripe billing users - if you're a Paypal user we can easily move you over to Stripe so you can access this feature with no hassle and no extra cost if you send us a support email. 

2 - Members must remain up to date with their own payments for referrals to work - if your subscription lapses, then all previous referrals will be lost as will any store credit or 'cash'. When the time comes for you to be billed, our system will look to offset your billing amounts by the amount of store credit you have for example if you're an Eyewall Pro subscriber with $7.99 store credit, when the time comes for renewal, your renewal will be charged at $46.96 ($54.95 - $7.99 store credit) 

3 - Members can only build up to 2 years worth of store credit after which, members will be paid in cash - 2 years of store credit is approx 10 referrals - per financial year (July 1 - June 30) - after which any further WIQ credit will be paid in cash to that member on June 30.  

4 - If a referral requests a refund (we only very rarely accept those requests and only for extreme accessibility circumstances) then your referral credit will also be reversed. 

5 - If you feel you should have received a referral and didn't, then please let us know via email at support@weatheriq.com.au giving us as much detail as possible about who you referred and when so we can try and manually track it. 

We thank you for your support and we especially thank those users who are willing to spread the word about Weather IQ and actively want to help us grow.
