You sent the correct referral link or code. Learn more about how to get rewards.

Step 2: Check if the person you referred is eligible for the reward

Make sure that the person you invited:

Signed up and downloaded the app through a referral link or referral code that you sent
Didn’t sign up through a referral link or code that someone else shared with them
Didn’t create a Google Pay account before
Didn’t use reconditioned second hand phone previously used by someone else on Google Pay

My friend isn’t eligible for the referral reward

To qualify for each offer, a Google Pay customer can only use one set of Google Pay credentials that hasn’t been previously registered with Google Pay. This includes, but isn't limited to, the following:

Device
Google account
Phone number
Form of payment

Each customer can only avail of this offer once per unique registered invitee. The invitee can only avail of this offer for their first Google Pay transaction.

It’s possible that your friend has already been registered on Google Pay before, or may have signed up with someone else’s referral code.

Tip: Users with refurbished second hand phones and recycled phone numbers previously used with Google Pay are ineligible.
