REFERRAL PROGRAM

Q: How does the referral program work?

A: At the bottom of each Walter newsletter you will find your custom referral code and referral hub. The code is what you send to everyone you know and convince them to sign up for Walter, and your referral hub is where you can track your progress and rewards.

Q: How do I refer people?

A: Scroll down to the “SHARE WALTER” section of the newsletter, from here, you can share Walter through email, social media, and more.

Q: How can I tell my referral count?

A: The "SHARE WALTER" section tells you how many referrals you have. Additionally, hit the "See how many referrals you have” button to access your personalized referral hub. From here, you can also see how many referrals you have, the amount of referrals needed for each prize, how many more you need for the next prize tier, and options to share Walter through email, social media, and more.

Q: I keep sharing my link with people, but my referral count isn’t changing

A: After someone signs up using your link, they need to confirm their email address (this ensures the email is legit). After they confirm, your referral count should be updated within a few hours. So if you’re not seeing your count updated, it means you need to bug your friends to confirm their email in their inbox.

Q: I reached a referral prize milestone, how can I redeem my Walter swag?

A: When you reach a referral milestone, you will be sent an email with instructions so you can redeem your prize. If you're redeeming multiple prizes at once, you will need to send a separate email for each referral tier. If you can't find this email in your inbox or have an issue with your order, feel free to reach out to us at feedback@thisiswalter.com
