FAQs

How do I refer a friend?

You’ll first need to email or tell them your unique sharing code, which must be used when they apply for a service. That way we can link the referral back to you.

To find your unique sharing code, all you need to do is enter your customer ID in the field on this page ("Obtain Your Referral Code") and you will be given your code. Don't worry if you forget it - it will always be the same code assigned to your customer ID, so you can come back and re-enter as much as you need. In order to qualify for your reward, the plan chosen by your friend must be valued at $70 or more and must be his/her first Switched On Australia application. If the code has been blocked for any of the reasons stated in these rules, then the referral reward won't be paid.

 

 

How do I choose my preferred reward?

We will contact you once your friend's account has been connected to find out what reward option you would like. This way if the options change we can ensure we always provide you with the latest options. This will also ensure we can confirm any other details required to make sure you recieve your reward correctly and quickly.

 

 

How do I qualify for compensation under the Chatterbox referral program?

To be eligible, any referral must be made in accordance with these 'refer a friend' conditions of use. You must have previously been approved, and previously taken out, a Switched On Australia service valued at $70 or more, and your account must be paid in full and by the due date. If you are in arrears when eligible to receive a 'refer a friend' reward, we reserve the right to cancel the credit to your account.

 

 

How many 5% discount credits can be applied to my account?

As the program only allows you to refer friends you actually know, we've limited the total amount of referrals to no more than 5. We will not apply the 5% monthly discount credit in respect of any referrals over five (5), for a maximum of 25% discount per month.

If you wish to refer more than 5 people, you may choose from one of the exciting referral incentives in our rewards program. If you attempt to breach these conditions your link and code will be blocked.

 

What's an acceptable way to share my link and code?

Any referral must be made by you on a personal basis, not on a commercial basis. Referring people on a commercial basis is strictly prohibited. For the avoidance of doubt, you can only share your link and code with people you know personally. This may include family members, friends or colleagues. You must not send a referral email or shout out to anyone under the age of 18.

You may only share your link and code in ways that you would normally share information with your friends and personal contacts. Acceptable methods of sharing include shout outs and reviews via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, email and word of mouth.. All Switched On applications made by the people you have referred will be subject to our usual credit checks and approval. Please remember, and remind the people you refer, that the repayment due under the Switched On terms and conditions must be made in full and on the due date.

 

 

What would result in my link and code being blocked?

Any referral must be made by you on a personal basis, not on a commercial basis. Commercial use includes, for example, making a referral as part of a business of yours, as part of another person's business, by publishing your 'refer a friend' code in any form of advertising or offering the link and code to people you don't know.

Please note that you are responsible for the distribution of your refer a friend link and code and will be held accountable should your link or code be used inappropriately by a third party (knowingly or otherwise). If your link or code appears on any websites that are existing affiliates of Switched On Australia it will be blocked.

 

 

Who can I refer?

As stated previously, you can only refer people you know personally. The person you refer must not be an existing Switched On Australia customer, or have used our service before. This includes people who have previously visited our site and registered their email address with us.

The person you refer must select a plan to the value of $70 or more, excluding any equipment fee and charges.

The 'refer a friend' link and code provided must be used when the friend applies for a Switched On service so we can link the referral back to you.

 

 

What will happen if I break the rules of refer a friend?

We regularly monitor all referrals and, if we suspect any person is not fully complying with the rules of 'refer a friend' (and/or the spirit of it), we may block the relevant 'refer a friend' link or code immediately and withhold any rewards due until the matter has been fully investigated. If an investigation reveals abuse of the 'refer a friend' rules, all rewards due will become void. For the avoidance of doubt, any plans taken by the people you have referred will remain due under the terms and conditions of their service agreement, which operates independently of these rules.

 

 

When will I be compensated if my referral is successful?

Every time a referral made by you in accordance with these rules results in the successful provision of the service(s) of the person you referred, we will compensate you with your chosen reward within 30 days of your friends’ new account being activated.

Referral rewards are payable only to you and are not transferrable. All telecommunications services will be subject to Switched On Australia’s standard terms and conditions of trade.

In the event that you have any outstanding debts or arrears with Switched On Australia, you will forfeit any rewards, discounts or credits due to you.  

 

 

How can I refer customers to Switched On Australia on a commercial basis?

We are in the process of developing a commercial affiliate system, which could be more suited to your needs. Email us to register your interest and we will notify you when this becomes available.
