Frequently Asked Questions

Refer a friend program

What is the Refer a Friend program?

Refer a friend to Western Union and earn rewards! Ask your friends to register using the referral link you share. Once they complete qualifying actions, you’ll both get rewarded.

How does the Refer a Friend program work?

Refer your friends to Western Union and earn rewards in three easy steps:

  • Share a referral link – Go to the Refer a Friend page. Login or sign up, and then invite your friends by sharing your personal referral link.
  • Invite friends – Ask your friends to register using the referral link you share. Once they complete qualifying actions, you’ll get rewarded.
  • Get rewarded – Enjoy our great rewards!

You can send the referral link to as many friends as you want – who are 18 years of age or older, but you can only earn rewards up to 300 CAD for the first 15 friends that complete all the requirements.

You can share the referral link with your friends via email or social media.

Can I redeem my rewards for cash?

You cannot redeem your rewards for cash or transfer it to someone else. It also cannot be bartered or sold.

Why did I not get my referral reward?

Try these steps:

  • Confirm that your friend has used your referral link to register with Western Union.
  • Your referee has completed an online international or domestic transfer of 100 CAD or more within 30 days of their registration, during the promotion period.
  • It’s been at least 7 business days since all the above requirements were completed.
  • Make sure to check the junk/spam folder in your email inbox to confirm you haven’t received the e-gift code.
