What is a first-come, first-serve referral?

A first-come, first-serve referral is where a Member submits their referral and selects more than one Member, (between 2 to 5 Members), to receive it. The first Member to “accept” the referral gets the referral.

  3. First-come, first-serve referrals expire after 14 days if a receiving party has not accepted it.
  4. In order to use the first-come, first-serve method simply create a referral, and when doing so, select more than one Member to send your referral to.  The same referral input form is used for all three referral exchange methods. 
  5. The first Member to claim the referral gets the referral.  When this happens all other members who did not successfully claim the referral are notified as such.
