Commission? Do I earn money now?
No, the commission received by inviting friends is added as Rapids to your account, 28 days after your friend buys Rapids and activates RapidPro, if you have a minimum of 3 active friends. The commission is being paid for a maximum of 30 friends.
When exactly do I get the Rapids?
28 days after your friend starts with RapidPro.
Are there any limits on the 'Invite Friends' program to avoid abuse?
Lower limit: To receive the commission, at least 3 friends need to have activated RapidPro.
Upper limit: A maximum of 30 friends with RapidPro active at once is allowed. You can check your account overview to see how many friends currently have RapidPro active.
How can I refer a friend?
There are several possibilities to add friends:
1. You can send your friend an invitation email through the form you find at “My RapidShare”.
2. Place a magic banner on your website. Why magic? Everyone who uses the banner will be saved as a referred by you. It can’t be more simple.
3. Send your friend a RapidShare file.
How long will I receive Rapids from recruiting a friend?
You will receive Rapids as long as your friends RapidPro is extended. If your friend continues to keep the account active for 5 years, you will receive up to 18’000 Rapids. Long friendship pays off.
Only for experts: Please explain to me exactly, how the internal process works.
1. Your friend will be lead to our homepage by you. For this, there are a few ways but it is all about us being able to set an encrypted cookie, which lets us know that you referred this customer, when he registers a RapidPro account. The cookie works for seven days. After that it expires.
2. Once a marked friend registers a free account, you will be marked in his account as the referrer. The 30-friends limit does not count here unless your friends activates RapidPro.
3. Once this friend buys Rapids and activates RapidPro, our system will automatically check if you have 30 active friends. If not an entry is made into the commission-waiting list. If you already have 30 active friends, your limit has been reached and the connection between the two accounts will be cut. You are only able to have a maximum of 30 active friends at any time. However, when a friend does not extend their account, another friend who has received an invite from you will be moved up in the list.
4. As soon as an entry in the waiting list has been there for 28 days, the system automatically checks if the account of your friend has been blocked due to a any payment issues. If the account is blocked, there will be no commission and the connection between the two accounts will be cut. If your friends account is fine, the system checks if you have 3 active friends with RapidPro. If that is the case, you will get 30 % commission. If not, you will not get any commission. However, the connection between the accounts remains.
