Plastiq have ended their generous business referral program early. Previously selected customers that referred new business customers would both get $2,500 in free fee dollars after the referred business sent a payment of $100 or more using a business credit card.
Plastiq sent the following e-mail out:
As you know, last month we launched a promotion where you could earn more fee-free dollars when referring a business. While we were excited about this promotion, we noticed that it created more confusion than happiness for our customers. So while we’re ending this promotion today, March 10 at 11:59 p.m. PST, we will be launching a new, extended offer on Tuesday, March 14. Keep an eye out for an email with more details on that day.
Due to the high number of business referrals you provided to Plastiq, we have credited your account with an additional $xx,xx fee-free dollars as a token of our appreciation.
Any additional fee-free dollars owed to you through this promotion will be credited to your account by 5 p.m. PST on Monday, March 13. Please reply to this email if you have any questions.
Best, The Plastiq Team
Some people received additional fee free dollars if they had referred a lot of new businesses.
The new offer will be available to all Plastiq users (rather than just selected Plastiq users) and we will let readers share their referral links when it goes live as always. I suspect it’ll be less generous than the previous offer, but hopefully I’ll be happily surprised. I’m personally not a fan of promotions that are limited to some users, as it leads to issues such as these.
