1 How the Program Works

1.1 Program Participation

To participate in the Program, Brand Advocates should visit bus.com/referral-program and follow the on-screen instructions to refer friends, family members or colleagues to the program.

1.2 Eligible Brand Advocate

To be “Eligible,” a Brand Advocate must:

Be a legal resident of the United States of America or Canada; and

Be at least 18 years old.

1.3  Eligible Friend or Friends

Individuals who receive a referral via a Brand Advocate are “Friends” (or, singly, a “Friend”). 

An “Eligible” Brand Advocate who is fully compliant with these Terms and Conditions may receive “Reward(s)” for every “Qualified Referral” (all terms in quotes to be understood as defined below). 

By participating in the Program, a Brand Advocate represents that he or she has his or her Friend’s prior consent to provide their email addresses.

1.4 Making a Referral

A Brand Advocate must register at Bus.com.com/Friends to make a referral. No previous booking or purchase is required. Once a Brand Advocate refers a Friend, he/she will be provided with a unique referral link (“Personal Link”) that allows the Brand Advocate to receive credit for Qualified Referrals (“Credit”). Personal Links will be issued only to individuals.

Brand advocates must respect the spirit of the Program by only referring real individuals who meet the requirements of these Terms and Conditions. Brand Advocates cannot refer themselves. For example, a Brand Advocate may not create multiple or fake accounts with Bus.com or participate in the Program using multiple or fake email addresses or identities.

 

2 A Qualified Referral Is

A “Qualified Referral” means that all the following conditions are met:

2.1 The Friend has booked their first Bus.com bus charter rental using the Bus Advocate’s Personal Link;

2.2 The bus charter booking is a minimum of $1500 before taxes in the currency of the country of the booking departure;

2.3 The bus charter has been paid for in full;  

2.4  The Friend was not previously registered with Bus.com under any email address or alias; 

2.5 The Friend is: 

a legal resident of the United States of America or Canada and 

at least 18 years old;

2.6  If a Friend books a trip or registers with Bus.com using any other link or method, the registration will not count as a Qualified Referral and the Advocate will not earn Credit.

 

3 Rewards and Offers

3.1 The Brand Advocate shall receive one (1) reward (each, a “Reward”) in the form and value determined by Bus.com for each verified Qualified Referral generated by the Brand Advocate. A Brand Advocate may earn a maximum of $500 in Rewards value per calendar year for Qualified Referrals. Any additional or subsequent referrals made by a Brand Advocate will not be considered Qualified Referrals and thus not be entitled to the Reward. No partial rewards will be given. 

3.2 Rewards may be redeemed in various forms in the Bus.com’s sole discretion, including, but not limited to in the form of an Amazon.com* gift card. Restrictions may apply. For example, if the Reward is in the form of a gift card, gift certificate or voucher, it may be subject to the issuer’s terms and conditions.

3.3 Rewards are subject to verification. Bus.com may delay a Reward for the purposes of investigation. Bus.com may also refuse to verify and process any transaction Bus.com deems, in its sole discretion, to be fraudulent, suspicious, in violation of these Terms and Conditions, or believes will impose potential liability on Bus.com, its subsidiaries, affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents. All of Bus.com’s decisions are final and binding, including decisions as to whether a Qualified Referral, or Reward is verified.

3.4 Rewards have no monetary value and may not be redeemed for cash. Rewards are not transferable and may not be auctioned, traded, bartered or sold. Upon termination of the referral program or any portion thereof for any reason, or upon cancellation of a Brand Advocate’s Bus.com account for any reason, any unredeemed Rewards that have not yet been delivered to Referrer are forfeited.

 

4 Issuing of Rewards and Offers

4.1 Rewards to Brand Advocates will be issued within 90 days of a Qualified Referral. 

4.2 Rewards and offers will be issued in the currency of the country of the booking departure.

5.3  Brand Advocates understand that, in addition to the initial communications to Friends, Bus.com may also use the personal information to send to Friends additional follow-up communications on behalf of the Brand Advocates in order to encourage or remind the Friends to complete a booking.
