NAMASTA members receive a $20 retroactive discount for each Professional Member they refer to NAMASTA and $10 for each Associate Member. The discount is credited once the membership year of a referred member has been paid in full (i.e. after a minimum of 60 days for a referred member that pays for his/her membership upfront and after a minimum of 12 months for a referred member who pays his/her membership with 12 monthly payments).
At the time he or she joins, the referred member must notify NAMASTA of who referred them in order for the referring member to get the discount.
The referral reward CAN be combined with the Group Discount Program described below, however a member will not get rewards for referring members of his/her own group.
For instance, member A can refer members F, G, H, I and J and will get rewards for all 5 members while F, G, H, I and J get the group discount.
Member "A" can also get the Group rate on his/her own membership if s/he joins at the same time as B, C, D and E. However, in that case, A will not get rewards for referring B, C, D and E.
