upcover (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”) has a refer a friend program to acquire new customers while rewarding our existing upcover customers. These terms of use apply to your use of our refer a friend program.
1 - How it works
- upcover customer ("referrer") shares a unique link with a friend ("friend"), via email, text, social media or copy and paste ("referral link")
- The friend opens the referral link and completes the quote flow, providing their business occupation, revenue and other details about their business, as well policy start and end dates.
- The friend enters profile information: first name, last name, email, mobile number and confirms their business entity. The friend also enters payment details: card number, expiration date, and CVV.
- The friend's account gets activated when they purchase a policy using the referral link.
- The referrer is issued a $50 reward in the form of a gift card, once the friend has had the policy active for at least 30 days and has not cancelled their policy. The referrer gets the reward 3 days after the friend's policy is held for more than 30 days. The referrer can earn up to $500 in rewards for successfully referring up to 10 new upcover customers per calendar year.
- The friend receives $50 off their policy when they purchase a policy with the referral link.
2 - Requirements
- Payment: The referrer can receive $50 with each successful referral in the form of an e-gift card, sent to their email address. A successful referral is one that has complied with these terms of use.
- Limit: Each referrer is limited to 10 paid referrals ($500) per calendar year. Referrers can continue referring customers beyond the limit for no reward. The friend is entitled to only one $50 promo discount when they purchase a policy with the referral link.
- State Availability: The referral program is available in all states and territories across Australia.
3 - Fraud Protection and Account Activation
- Stripe Payment Validation: We use Stripe to prevent multiple accounts with the same card.
- Successful Purchases: We automatically activate accounts if a friend purchases in order to provide referrers their reward.
- Pending Withdraw: Rewards can be redeemed 33 days after the friend has purchase a policy. We will also use this period to check for fraudulent activity as well to ensure the friend doesn't cancel their policy during the first 30 days of holding the policy.
- Account Status: This refer a friend offer is valid for new customers only. This means, if the friend has purchased a policy through upcover at any time in the past, or holds an active policy with upcover, then both friend and referee are ineligible for this offer.
