# Referrals

## How to Invite Someone

There are several easy ways to bring someone into your referral list:

* **Direct Link:**\
  Share your personal referral link:\
  `https://www.ofero.me/r/yourusername`\
  Once they register using your link, they become your referral.
* **Business Card Method:**\
  If someone adds you as a friend from your Ofero profile, you become their referral.\
  Example profile: `https://ofero.me/u/yourusername`
* **Gift Cards for New Users:**\
  You can send a gift card link to someone who doesn’t have an account. If they register from that link, they will be added as your referral automatically.

## Referral Duration

Once a person becomes your referral, they are linked to you for **2 years**. This link is called a referral contract.

## Changing Referrals

If your referral wants to move to another user, here is how it works:

1. They go to **Account Settings → Referral Management → Manage** and request to change their referrer.
2. You will see a **notification** in your Referral Management tab.
3. You have **30 days** to approve or deny the request.
4. If you take no action, the system will automatically approve the change after 30 days.
5. You also have the option to cancel the request if you do not agree with it.
