Hey there,
I used a referral link, and I need to spend $25 to get the credit. The Billing Info tab says: “Add a payment method to your account. The $100 credit will be applied immediately after the card is added”. So does this only work if I use a credit card to verify my account? I only have access to PayPal and I’m not sure if it will accept that method for the referral.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
I just came across this question. As of the time of writing this answer, if you sign up through a referral link you would get the free credit as soon as you add a credit card or add $5 via your PayPal account.
The person who provided you with the referral link would get $25 credit as soon as you spend $25.
Hope that this helps. Regards, Bobby
