  • either signs up as a Finder Member or is already a Finder Member;
  • Clicks on an Eligible Product using the unique Referral Link provided to the Eligible Member by Finder; and

The Referral Reward will only be issued to the Eligible Member after the Referred Member has successfully opted into the relevant Reward and met all eligibility criteria outlined in the Reward T&Cs for the Eligible Product. All referrals will be assessed on the same eligibility check date as the Referred Member's Reward under the Reward T&Cs, and the Eligible Member will qualify for the Referral Reward provided the Referred Member meets the criteria on this date.

Referral Rewards will be issued electronically as a digital eGift Card in line with the fulfilment timing of the Reward under the Reward T&Cs for the relevant Eligible Product. Finder reserves the right to withhold or revoke the Referral Reward if the Referred Member fails to meet the Reward eligibility.

Referral Rewards will be distributed via email by Blackhawk. See further details below.
