I haven’t done one of these in a while, and this one will be a bit different than in years past. Here’s how it is going to work…A cashed out referral at each site will be worth a point value:

• Freebies4me ($75 site) is worth 5 points
• 25.Freebies4me ($25 site) is worth 1 point
• Offers4me ($40 site) is worth 3 points

Over the months of February and March, referrals obtained and cashed out will count toward your referral race total. At the end of each week, I will post standings so you know where you stand. At the end of March, the member with the most points will win the grand prize (pending reversals). Your next question probably is, “Well, what are the prizes?” Luckily for you I have an answer:

• 1st Place (most referral points cashed out) – $500
• 2nd Place (2nd most referral points cashed out) – $300
• 3rd Place (3rd most referral points cashed out) – $150
• 4th Place (4th most referral points cashed out) – $50

Now of course a few rules must go with this…

• You must have a minimum of 10 points to qualify. The 10 points can be accumulated through any combination of the sites above. You do not need 10 on each site, or 10 from any one site. Just 10 total
• The referrals must be obtained AND cashed out in February or March 2010. No referrals from previous months will count toward your points.
• Referrals to Surveys.Freebies4me do not count toward this referral race
• Referrals that go red for any reason will be disqualified from your point total
• You can refer one person to each of the sites and they will count toward your totals. For example, you refer John Smith to 25.freebies4me first, they green and you cash them out. Then they sign up for Offers4me and green there. You would have a total of 4 points for that (1 @ 25.freebies4me, 3 @ Offers4me for a total of 4).
• You cannot apply 4 for 3 cashouts to the referral race. This only relates to cashouts paid at the street rates on each site. You may still participate in the Twitter bonus though.
• You and your referrals must meet all terms and conditions of the respective sites (ie Paypal verified, no PO Boxes, email verified, phone verified, etc)

Any questions please let me know. The cutoff for qualifying cashouts is March 31 2010, at 11:59pm Pacific Time, and technically began at 12:00am Eastern Standard Time today (although there haven’t been any cashouts today thus far).

Prizes will be paid on April 30, 2010. Any reversals or holds that happen between end of the contest and April 30 will be deducted from your point total. You will be notified if one of your cashed out greens from February or March reverses, and they will be removed from your leaderboard standings.
