Re: New Account but friend's referral does not work

Hi @fuzytedybear69 ,

You're correct for new players, they need to create their account via the link, not click it after creating it. However the referral also works for returning subscribers who are currently on Preferred status and have been unsubscribed for 90 days or more. Any other account type than those two isn't eligible.

Thanks for the mention. A lot of the posts I read on this issue were not clear on that fact. The 90 days without sub kind of makes the account same as new in this case. 

Is there any way I can use my referral when i subscribe? I'd hate for my friend to lose out on his rewards, I really don't care about the free week, just want my friend to get his due for bringing me into the game. I have never played it before and its pretty impressive. Seems like there are many tech issues though. Can't use customer service to fix it either because i'm not a sub yet.

As long as it's been over 90 days since you subscribed, what you can do is use your friend who is a subscriber's referral link.  As long as it's been 90 days since you were a subscriber they'll get the rewards and if you subscribe as well they'll get additional cartel coins for it.
