FAQs
Who can earn rewards for referring friends?
What are the rewards?
Reward values increase as you refer more friends! $25 for the first friend you refer; $50 for the second and $100 for the third. If you refer more than 3 friends, you'll receive $100 for each friend who enrolls.
Rewards are issued when your friend enrolls. You'll be able to choose a gift card from hundreds of retailers like Amazon, Apple, Best Buy, Nike, McDonald's, Starbucks, Ulta and more!
When exactly will I receive my reward?
You will receive your reward when your friend enrolls. This means that your friend's enrollment application has been approved and they have been scheduled for Orientation.
Rewards are issued one time per month, so you may need to wait a few weeks to receive your reward. If you have referred a friend who has completed orientation and have not received your reward, please contact info@accelerationacademy.org.
How will I receive my reward?
You'll receive an email letting you know you have a reward to claim. From there, you can browse hundreds of retailers and pick the one you'd like a gift card to. The email will be sent to the email address you provided on the referral form.
The rewards are distributed by a service called Tango; please check your spam folder for your rewards.
Why haven't I received my reward yet?
Check with your friend and make sure got scheduled for an Orientation at your Academy.
If they have and you still haven't received your reward, wait a few weeks. Rewards are processed monthly, so you may need to wait a few weeks.
What happens if multiple people refer the same prospective student?
In the event that more than one person refers the same friend, the reward will go to whoever submitted the referral first.
What's new about this version of the Refer a Friend program?
Our new and improved Refer a Friend program is different than previous versions of the program:
- More options for rewards....choose from hundreds of retailers
- Earn bigger rewards for referring more friends
- Parents/guardians can now refer and earn rewards
- Rewards are only issued when your friend enrolls
Why didn't I receive a reward?
If you referred someone and never received a reward, it could be for a few reasons:
- The person you referred did not meet eligibility requirements
- The person you referred was already enrolled or had already applied before you referred them
- The information provided in the referral form did not match our records.
- You provided inaccurate information in the form—as a reminder, the email addresses used on the form at the ones we send digital rewards to.
If I referred someone before you updated your Refer a Friend program, does that mean I'll receive $50 for the next friend I refer?
No. Only referrals submitted after July 23 count towards the updated Refer a Friends reward program.
Is there a limit to the number of friends I can refer?
No! You'll receive $25 for the first friend you refer; $50 for the second and $100 for each additional friend you refer.
I'm a parent. Can I receive rewards for referring my children to Acceleration Academies?
If you are a parent of an enrolled child, you can receive rewards for referring additional children to Acceleration Academies. You can also earn rewards for referring children of neighbors, friends, coworkers and anyone else you know!
Is there anything I can do to help expedite the process?
Yes! The most helpful thing you can do is make sure you have the right email address for your friend when you complete the Refer a Friend form. Then, remind your friend to use that same email address when they start their application. From there, encourage your friend to complete their application and orientation as soon as possible!
