I’m not really sure you can “abuse” the programme, can you? It’s a simple refer and get rewarded. The more you refer, the more reward you get?

If the system says you can refer your partner/family/friends for cards, and you do it, how is that abuse?

Obviously self-referral is a no-no, but how can cyclical referral between partners be against the rules (they’re friends/family, right?)

I suppose there are people who offer their referral link to “randoms” on the internet, including on site (which are not, as per the T&C, “family or friends”), but these are not unsolicited (so not breaking that T&C), and isn’t one person’s “randomer on the internet” just a friend you haven’t made yet?
