Something I’ve been wondering for a while now… Is there any kind of referral bonus, or referral code to keep track of how many people you’ve referred or anything?
I have a couple friends that I’m gonna introduce to this awesome site, but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t gonna miss out on anything first.
Look out for this first one, his user name is gonna be something like alterEgo or muzicman probably.
you’ve got to be the first responder to get a gift cert… though I’m not sure Jasmin is still giving them out!
Jasmin!!!
You can send your friends a 21% referral coupon, and get points for every dollar they spend at the store. Details are here: https://a314.com/
And Phoenix, of course we still give out intro gift certs.
But not first responder gift certs, right?
I never got an intro gift cert 
I thought I just didn’t join up right or something.
Jasmin 
I PM’d her three or four times about it with no result, and I’m not a new user any more now. Oh well, it’s only $15, I’ve spent a lot more than that on orders already!
I think she’s very busy, that’s what happened…
If they employ me, I could lend a hand…
If we get the occasional freebies instead as a thank you for posting replies to intros, I don’t mind, just I think it should be publically posted that it’s going to work like that now
Otherwise I have to stay bothering Jasmin about the gift certs and waiting for them to arrive before I do a reorder here… 
Yeah! It will be great if the system works automatically…those who become the first responder to the newbies, will receive the $5 Gift Cert. in their e-mail inbox!! What do you think, Phoenix?
Sure, that would be just perfect!
Not sure how easy it would be to implement the thing without rewriting (some of) the board code…
Hiya
I’ve been first responder to a few, but only heard about the bonus recently, although most of my posts here promptly disappear into the moderation black hole for hours. When Jasmin clears the backlog they do suddenly appear as the first reply but I have no idea if they would qualify for any bonuses/ freebies or not.

Oh boy,
I wish the whole gift cert thing was automated!
And Phoenix,
To first responders, I actually deposit 500 points into your account instead of sending along a $5 gift cert. It’s much easier for you that way: You don’t have to collect umpteen different gift certs, copy and paste them in umpteen different times, and refresh them in the order umpteen different times. With the points, they’re just right in your account, ready and willing.
You’ve accumulated tons of points by now, Phoenix! I’ll bet you didn’t even know!
Miss May has been on greeting FIRE lately, too! When she checks her points account, I’m sure she’ll be able to pick up ANYTHING here .
The spam filter is responsible for picking up some good posts. It goes kind of crazy for folks who have under 50 posts. I think you should be off the hook soon, May, since I see your post count is creeping up there.
In short, easy ways to earn bonuses here:
21% referral coupon - your friend signs up with the email address you provided, he orders $40 worth of stuff, you get 4000 points!
First Responder to and Intro - If you’re the first person to truly greet someone, ask them questions and sling some suggestions, 500 points ($5) will be deposited into your rewards points account. nbully79 and lor make PERFECT first responses.
thanks Jasmin!
APPRECIATED!
thanks thanks thanks thanks for clarifying… I can speak for everyone I guess…
Wow!
Thanks Jasmin. That was a very pleasant surprise!
Glad to hear that the disappearing posts might lessen soon

(and to you too, Phoenix!! )

I’m even richer than you though!

Thanks Jasmin 100% !!!
