Using & Choosing Referral Codes

Choosing and Using your referral codes

You have two choices when you want to refer someone, but please note that while you can use either depending on what's most appropriate, you can't use both on the same referral. If you try and apply a second code, it simply won't work. Please read this part very, very carefully to make sure you understand how it works and which would be most appropriate.
 
FOR TOTAL BEGINNERS (see below for any other option)If the person you're helping get started is completely new to Bitcoin, it  will always be best to use your Bitcoin Pioneer code - the one prefixed "BP". Using this code means that new people don't have to put their own money in to start with and that's important when you feel nervous and unsure about what you're doing. Perhaps it was the same for you!
 
You will be able to give your brand new referral £10’s worth of Bitcoin by sharing your BP code in the Luno app as long as the following applies:
The user must have downloaded the Luno app from their app store (or set up an account at Luno.com Tip: the App is always easier)
The user must be over 18, with ID, and resident in the UK
The user must be fully verified before the code is entered
The wallet must be new and unused. The code must be entered before any transaction is made
The code will not work where the user has already been referred, e.g. via the in-app referral system. You cannot use your in-app referral code as well as your BP code, just one or the other.
The code will not work on any existing wallet where any transaction has been made at any point, even if it is currently empty
To enter the code, new users will need to head to the Rewards tab > tap Enter a Code > type in the referral code. This is what the screens look like:

Go to the 'Rewards' section of the app and select "Enter code"

Enter the BP code here and £10 will be credited.

Note: Please use your own BP code, Jason's code is used as an example.
 
If the referral is successful, they will receive their £10 credit which will be visible immediately, although it will remain locked for 30 days. This lock-in period is designed for new users to have time to attend the FREE "Bitcoin Essentials" webinar which is a key part of our mission.
 
(Note: Sometimes it can take a few minutes to appear for the £10 to appear. If so, just wait and the system will update in due course.)

For anyone who ISN'T a complete beginner ...

Sometimes you might want to refer someone who is already familiar with Bitcoin. They might have dabbled with it years ago, for example, be at the start of their journey and a little unsure about what they're doing, or might even just be looking for a better wallet or exchange solution. In these cases you might consider using your "in-app" code. 
 
This can yield increased referral rewards for both you and the person you're referring (between £20 and £40) but it is not usually appropriate for people who are very new to Bitcoin since a deposit of £100 is required to activate the reward. As mentioned above, for brand new people who are very wary of getting started, this is often a step too far at this stage. For them, use your BP code.
 
All Luno users have their own in-app codes whether they are part of the Bitcoin Pioneer community or not. Depending on how active you've been with Luno over the proceeding 12 months proceeding, your reward level will vary from £20 (level 1, lowest) to £40 (level 3, highest) per referral, for both of you. In other words, if you're level 3 and you sucessfully refer someone to Luno, you will BOTH receive £40 in Bitcoin paid directly into your wallet once the £100 deposit is made. Note: Rewards may be locked for 30 days.
 
As a BP, you'll also benefit from the extra rewards triggered when your new referral gets more and more active with Bitcoin (or other cryptos) as detailed here.
