Where's the referral?

What happened to the referral? There used to be an edit box on the SmugMug account signup page where the new SmugCustomer could enter a referral code to get the $5 discount. I just checked and I didn't see any way to enter a referral code. What's up? You are still doing referrals, aren't you?

(yes, I've been out of the loop for a while)

They add it when they actually pay, at the end of their trial

So, if I refer a new customer to SmugMug they have to remember my referral code for two weeks? How likely is that? I think 'not very'.

I've brought a lot of new customers to Smugmug over the years because it helped me pay for my own account, but if I'm not going to get the referral credit any more why should I bother?

I think that was a lousy idea. :pissed

Hi Mick,

Give them this link to follow:

http://www.smugmug.com/?referrer=micknewton

That'll cookie them and then the code will carry through. We're gonna change up the link text in your control panel, settings tab, for referrals, to make this easier too.
