'''Every Loopa account has an invite code.''' Give it to somebody, they use it when they sign up, and you earn a badge. That is the whole of it — there is no money in this and nothing about it changes what you or they pay.
== Where to find your code ==
'''You → Refer a friend.''' Your code is at the top of the screen; tapping it copies it.
Three ways to send it:
- '''Send invite''' opens whatever you use for mail or messages, with the invitation already written. You pick who gets it.
- '''Copy link''' puts a link on your clipboard. Somebody who taps it lands on a page with your code already filled in, and if they have Loopa installed it opens the app instead.
- '''Share…''' hands the link to the share sheet, so it can go into a chat, a note, or anywhere else you would put a link.
'''Loopa never reads your contacts.''' There is no address-book permission in either app. You choose the recipient inside the app you chose, and Loopa never learns who that was.
== What you get ==
'''A badge, at each of nine milestones.''' One friend, then five, ten, twenty, forty, fifty, one hundred, two hundred and fifty, five hundred.
That is the complete list of rewards. There is no Premium time, no credit, no discount, no cash and no prize draw. If you were expecting one of those, there isn't one — referring somebody is a way of telling a friend about Loopa, not a way of earning from them.
Your badges appear on the Refer a friend screen and in [[achievements|Achievements]] alongside every other badge.
== What your friend gets ==
'''Loopa, at exactly the price it would have been anyway.''' Their trial, their subscription and what they pay are unaffected by the code. Nobody is charged more or less for having used one.
== When a friend counts ==
'''Once they have confirmed their email address and finished setting up.''' Until then the screen shows them as still setting up, and the number beside your badge has not moved.
This is the answer to the commonest question about this screen: '''"I invited five people and it says one."''' Four of them started and stopped. The count is people who are actually using Loopa, which is also what makes the badge mean something.
== Entering a code ==
There is a field for it on the sign-up screen, and it is optional — you never have to fill it in to make an account.
A few rules, so nothing here is a surprise:
- '''New accounts only, in the first week.''' A code cannot be added to an account older than that.
- '''One code per account, ever.''' Once one has been applied, a second is refused.
- '''Not your own.''' Entering your own code is refused.
Codes never contain the letters I, L, O or U, because those are the ones people mistype for 1, 1 and 0. If you type an I where a 1 was meant, Loopa fixes it for you.
== What is recorded, and what is not ==
We record that an account came from your code, when, and whether it finished setting up.
'''We never tell you who used it.''' You see a number, not a list of names. And your friend is told nothing about you beyond what you wrote in the invite yourself.
[[your-data-and-privacy|Your data and privacy]] has the full picture.
== Abuse ==
Accounts made to inflate a count, a code published where it was not meant to go, or activity that looks automated — any of these and we stop counting the referrals and may remove a badge. Since there is no money in it, there is nothing to reclaim.
'''We will never ask you to leave a review, a rating or a follow in exchange for anything''', and nobody else may offer your code on that basis either.
