Referred a Family Member to be a Host

[Denise1112]

Hello everyone! My family member just started hosting his new house and currently has his first guest. He was a host using an apartment but we discussed that was not the way to go. Two years approximately later he bought and renovated a house to set it up as an Airbnb. He forgot to use my referral link!! Although I continue to help him they won't give me/SuperHost a referral because of the link was not clicked and used by him.

If someone can prove another way their family member referred them, and BOTH parties agree with it, why wouldn't they allow me to still get the referral bonus? This would be such a simple thing to do by using either a person's driver's license or SSN instead of a referral link, PER each listing. I don't understand why they won't allow me to receive payout OR at least contemplate different guidelines.

Thanks, Everyone!

@Denise1112 My referred host actually used the link but it clearly didn't work properly as I never got the bonus. In your case as he was already a host I don't think the referral will count anyway.
