Referral program active
This one is not open to everyone. Whether you can invite anybody depends on your account, and it is offered in-product rather than advertised.
Share your PayPal invite link
We hold no link for this one — nobody can have an account everywhere. Add yours and it goes in front of the next person who asks.
If we already hold a link for this one, yours goes on file rather than live — we swap it in if it turns out to be the better offer.
