How it works<\/span>

From a referral to scholarship eligibility<\/h2>

Each eligible referral credits 30 points to your balance.<\/p><\/header>\n\t\t\t

    Refer someone to membership<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Members refer people who would use the travel directory and the member programs. Your member portal shows how referrals are tracked for your account.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

  2. \n\t\t\t\t\t\t2<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    The referral is verified<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Referrals are checked against the program terms before any points are credited. What makes a referral eligible is set by those terms.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    30 points are credited<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Every credit is recorded in your points history against the referral it came from, so your balance can always be traced back to its source.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
