The Choice referral program

The referral program lets you earn two types of bonuses, a bonus for each friend (“invitee”) who: 

  1. Plays & Claims Blinko rewards into a Choice retirement account via your personal signup code or link  (a.k.a – your key) -or- simply opens an account without playing Blinko.
  2. Makes a deposit in app to the newly opened account, and completes his or her first deposit greater than or equal to $500 (via the deposit screen in app).

 

How to earn referral bonuses:

  1. Locate your referral link inside the choice web app or go to Settings in the Choice mobile app to get your referral link.
  2. Copy and share your referral link via direct message (text, email, etc.) or on your social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, etc.). You can also opt to share your referral code.
  3. Your friends can open the referral link and sign up for a Choice account. They can also type in your referral code after clicking the key on their Blinko board.
  4. Each friend must be eligible to open an account and complete the account set-up as set forth above.
  5. There is no limit to the amount of eligible people you can refer.
  6. Once your friend has successfully opened a Choice account, your first bonus and his or her first bonus will be granted immediately to each of your rewards wallets.
  7. Once he or she completes his or her first deposit via the app, each of you will receive the additional bonus.

 

Other important details:

  • Your friend must not have an existing Choice account.
  • Once your friend plays Blinko using your referral code or link and claims it into a choice retirement account you both will receive $5 worth of sats (bitcoin) claimable via your respective rewards wallets. You can claim these rewards at any time within 13 months from the initial date of earning, subject to rewards terms and conditions.
  • Once any referred friend completes his or her first deposit greater than $500 via the app (it may take up to 5 business days for funds to arrive in the case of a contribution; and could be as long as 6 weeks in the case of a rollover), you and your friend will receive an additional $20 worth of sats credited to your respective rewards wallets – again, you can claim from there at any time in the following 13 months subject to rewards terms and conditions.
  • Please note that the account must be opened within 30 days of the referral for the referral bonus to be granted. If there are no additional funds added to the referred account within 90 days of account opening, we reserve the right to deem this to be a fraudulent referral subject to closure and as such, all related bonuses may be nullified.
  • The referral bonus, when claimed, will be coded as a ‘contribution’ to your (and your invitee’s) retirement account and, as such, by setting up your account from, or sharing your referral link, you are confirming you are or will be in the following 13 months, eligible for a contribution in the amount of the referral bonus. Bonus rewards are not eligible for withdrawal / transfer in first 12 months following your claiming of the reward.
  • You can share your referral link via email, text message, or any of your favorite messaging apps like Facebook, WhatsApp and Twitter.
  • Referral links are a link to choiceapp.io with a special code on the end that makes your link unique. For example: https://use.choiceapp.io/YOUR_REFERRAL_ID
  • There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer

 

I haven’t received my referral bonus, why is that? 

Here are a few possible reasons you or your referrer are not eligible for the referral bonus: 

  • The invitee must use your unique referral link. This means they need to play blinko directly after opening your link. Or play Blinko after using your code.
  • Referral bonuses are only paid if the person you referred successfully 1) sets up (applies and is approved) their account within 30 days of your referral or 2) he or she links an account via plaid and makes a successful deposit.
  • It can take some time for payments to go out, and they may not arrive immediately. Please wait 2 full business days after the account is completed to receive a referral bonus.
  • We do not pay out referral bonuses on duplicate or false accounts. Duplicate accounts will cause disqualification.
  • If an invitee fails to complete the requirements to obtain a bonus within 30 days, neither party will receive a bonus.

 

Do referral bonuses count against my contribution limit?

Yes, any bonuses awarded count against your annual contribution limit. If you have already hit your yearly contribution limit, please do not use your referral link until you are eligible for contributions.
