I had a friend sign up for a Dreamhost account, but nothing is showing up on my rewards page. He signed up about 2 weeks ago for a year. How long does it take for it to show up on the rewards page?
Thanks.

I don't know, I think its instant. Did your friend use a coupon you made or click through one of your referral links? If he clicked through then used another coupon, you wouldn't actually get the credit.

Yeah, I think it's instant but it might also be when the account is approved.
Use the 3DOM50 promo code for 3 extra lifetime domains and $50 off

In reply to:No he put my email address as the referer
Maybe he made a typo?
Only Dreamhost could give you a real answer on it, so you could submit a ticket.
Other guesses:
If the domain was ever hosted at Dreamhost, I don't think you'd get credit.
Not sure on this one, but there's a "How did you hear about us?" box right over the box on the form where you enter the promo code or referrer email address. If he put it in the other one, I don't know if they'd automatically credit it as a referrer or not.
Also not sure on this one, but if he clicked a promo code link (or got cookie stuffed), maybe that over-rides it. I doubt that's the case... since it would reward cookie-stuffing over someone manually typing in who they want to get the credit.
If you find out through support, let us know what the problem was.

Didya ever hear anything back? All I can think of is that he could have used someone's coupon ...
There's the line for "who referred you" but under that is the line for a promo or dreamhost coupon.
"By using a promo code you waive the option to indicate who referred you to DreamHost."
And if that's not it, I'm starting to wonder why my own referral rate has fallen off a cliff since about the time-frame you're talking about. I figured it was the economy!

Question regarding reward.
when I singin I just copy a coupon code. I did not fill in an email adress.
Now I want some else get a coupon from me. How shall I proceed?
On the site i see my email adresse. I don't want to give my email adresse on the net because of spam. but coupon code I can put it.
