This guide covers the most common reasons referral rewards may not work as expected or may not be received by customers.

Reward codes not working

Mention Me’s role is limited to distributing the referral codes your team creates. Mention Me does not set up, configure, or manage how codes work on your website. If a customer’s code isn’t working, check the following:
  1. Terms and conditions — Make sure the purchase meets the offer’s requirements.
  2. Promotion stacking — Confirm the customer isn’t combining the code with another promotion.
  3. Extra spaces — Check there are no spaces before or after the code when entered.
If a customer needs a new code because they used it and then cancelled or returned their order, submit a request. If GiftCloud, Runa (WeGift), or Shopify manages your rewards, reach out to your account manager for a new code — Mention Me cannot provide one in these cases.

Customer has not received their reward

There are several reasons a referrer might not receive their reward after a friend makes a purchase.

Scenario 1: Accounts not linked

The referee didn’t follow the referral link or enter the referrer’s name correctly. You’ll need to connect their accounts manually. Before linking accounts:
  • Check the referrer has an active account on the platform. If not, manually register or enrol the referrer.
  • Collect the referee’s name and email from the referrer.
  • If the details match, link the accounts using the “add friend” feature to issue rewards.

Scenario 2: Email mismatch

The referee used different email addresses to claim the offer and make the purchase. Follow the steps to manually confirm a purchase.

Scenario 3: Reward delay

There may be a time delay in issuing the reward. Check the customer activity log to see if the referrer or referee is in a grace period.
