We all have them: those one or two friends that own an Xbox but, for some bizarre reason, haven’t forked out for Gold membership. Well now Microsoft are giving you more of an incentive to further harass those friends into what you think they’ve been missing out on with their Refer-A-Friend program.
From Joystiq:
Referring friends (by Gamertag), can net existing Gold members tokens, which can be used to redeem one of four rewards, according to the promotion’s “Official Rules”:
- Get your free member friend to go Gold and (1) you and your friend will each get 400 Microsoft Points* or (2) 600 Microsoft Points*, depending on the active offer.
- Get your free member friend to go Gold and (3) you and your friend will get a multiplayer Xbox Live Arcade game of Microsoft’s choosing.
- Get your free member friend to try Gold with a promotional token good for 1 month of Gold, and (4) if your friend redeems the token within 30 days, you’ll get 200 Microsoft Points*.
Recruiters can refer up to five friends per day, until the promotion’s scheduled end date on July 1. Each recruiter is eligible to receive all four of the offers once during that time. Any funny business (“using multiple/different email addresses, Xbox Live accounts, identities, registrations and logins,” etc.), Microsoft notes, will be grounds for disqualification — but you won’t be discharged from Xbox Live!
*Fine print: “Tokens to download points will expire on December 31, 2011. Once downloaded, promotional points will expire on June 30, 2012.”
