Hi @samkhui2020, welcome to the forum and thanks for posting.

The offer does advise that your friend should follow the link you've sent and choose one of the broadband packages.
If they aren't getting the link to open on the broadband offers is it possible for them to try on another device.
Also ask them to clear their cookies and cache as that could be the cause.

Cheers

John

hi john,

thank you for replying so swiftly!

i think my issue is i dont understand how to forward the link, as it just keeps saying 'you cannot refer yourself' - i dont seem to be able to send a valid link, which they can click that leads to a registration page?

however i will not try a diffrent browser and clear cookies as well.

thanks for the hints.

Hi @samkhui2020, thanks for posting back. Are you trying to send the link to the email address you've registered as your email address on the Refer Friend offer?
Cheers

this is the body of the email my friend receives -

"Hey,

BT are running a Refer-a-Friend scheme on broadband at the moment.

And if I successfully refer you, we’ll both get a £50 Amazon.co.uk gift card.

So if you’re thinking of switching, just follow my link.

Then we can share £100.

Here's my link: https://referme.to/samkiuh-9e"

and the link does not work/lead to a web page.

thanks

Hi @samkhui2020, thanks for your replies.
I've tested with another email address, as I was previously registered, and the link I've got works ok. The link you've got doesn't work. Try again if you've another email address and it should work ok.

Cheers

@samkhui2020

Remove the " at the end of the link you posted, and it does direct to a web page.
