3.1. Codes

3.1.1. Referral codes

Upon using the Skrill Money Transfer Service and successfully completing an Eligible Transaction you will automatically receive a Referral Code (also available as a link and ready to be shared on Approved Media) on your Skrill Account registered e-mail that can be shared with up to fifty (50) friends and family members in order for you and them to become eligible for and obtain Referral Credits. The Referral Code will be sent to your registered email address and can also be found in the “Refer a Friend” module in “my Account”.

3.1.2. Promotional Codes.

Promotional Codes can be used by Members using the Skrill Money Transfer Services, subject to specific promotional terms and conditions available both online and offline and for a limited period. Each Promotional Code can be used only once.

3.2. Referral Credits

Referrers can will earn Referral Credits if: (i) a prospective Referred Member clicks on their referral link or uses their Referral Code to authorize an Eligible Transaction and create an eligible New Member Account that complies with the Skrill Account Terms of Use and thus becomes a Referred Member; and (ii) the Referred Member initiates and successfully completes an Eligible Transaction at a minimum transfer amount (as defined in Table 1 below) using the Referral Code or the referral link. Both you and the New Member will receive a Referral Credit that can be used in your next Eligible Transaction.

You will receive the Referral Credit(s) specified for each transaction in the referral link or accompanying promotional materials after the completion of the Referred Member’s Eligible Transaction. A referral link will contain only one Referral Code that can be used by one Member only. If the Referred Member successfully completes an Eligible Transaction, you will receive the Referral Credits that can be credited against any subsequent Eligible Transaction initiated by you. The Referral Credits shall be applied independently of other fees and taxes, if any, that Skrill may, in its sole discretion apply.

Referral Credits may not be earned by creating multiple or using linked Member Accounts. Referral Credits accrued in separate Member Accounts may not be combined into one Member Account and may not be transferred to another account held with a Skrill affiliated company (for example a NETELLER account provided by Paysafe Financial Services Limited).

The Referral Credits applicable to Referrers in each Eligible Country are shown in the table below. Please note that, the column “Maximum Referral Credits” as stipulated in Table 1 below refers to the maximum amount of Referral Credits that may be used per one Eligible Transaction. This table shall be subject to change from time to time in Skrill’s sole discretion. Any such change shall be communicated as provided for in these Terms and Conditions.

A send money transaction using the Skrill Money Transfer Services will be an Eligible Transaction for the purposes of these Terms and Conditions if:

(a) the sender and the recipient are in different countries;

(b)the transaction amount is equal to or exceeds the minimum transfer amount (excluding fees or taxes, where and if applicable);

(c) the transaction is successfully completed. This minimum transfer amount may change depending on the Referred Member’s chosen wallet currency and a foreign exchange rate may apply. A transaction will not be an Eligible Transaction, and therefore no Referral Credits will be earned, if: (i) you use your own Referral Code in order to initiate transactions between your own accounts; (ii) if the Referred Member’s transaction is cancelled at any time for whatever reason (and is therefore not an Eligible Transaction); and (iii) if the Referred Member makes an attempt to qualify for Referral Credits by sending funds back to you.

For the avoidance of doubt, please note the following transactions are not Eligible Transactions: (i) Transactions made using the your Skrill Prepaid Mastercard®; (ii) uploads to, and withdrawals from, the Referred Members Skrill Account.

3.4. Redeeming Referral Credits

Referral Credits may only be redeemed via your Member Account. Once earned, Referral Credits will appear on the “Refer a Friend” module in “My Account”. Accrued Referral Credits can be redeemed against your next Eligible Transaction: you will receive a one – off credit against the next Eligible Transaction equal to the value of the Referral Credits. Referral Credits must be used within three months from the date on which they are earned, after which they will automatically expire and will no longer be available. Referral Credits cannot be transferred or exchanged for cash. If a transaction initiated by you fails and is not successfully completed, any Referral Credits used for the purpose of that transaction will become available again.

If for any reason you believe that there is a discrepancy regarding your Referral Credits, please contact us at [e-mail address]. Skrill may require you to submit additional information in order to make a determination regarding your Referral Credits. All decisions regarding your Referral Credits will be final and at Skrill’s sole discretion.

3.5. Sharing Referral Codes

3.6. Referred Members

Referred Members who have signed up using a valid Referral Code or link or have submitted the Referral Code upon successful completion of an Eligible Transaction will also receive Referral Credits in the amounts shown in the table above that can be used immediately with their first Eligible Transaction using the Skrill Money Transfer Services. Referral Codes may not be transferred to another person, exchanged for cash, or combined with other Skrill referral programs or incentives. Referral Codes expire within three months from the date on which you sign up for a Member Account.

3.7. Multiple Referrals
