When they join TUG, there is a place to put someone as a referral.

The 'perk' I get from suggesting that folks join TUG is the warm fuzzy feeling that I've pointed them to something that will give them untold joy in their life at a tiny cost. That's enough. :)

yes, every member who joins is asked specifically who referred them. if your name is put down you get a referral credit (and an email sent to you telling you)

Hello Brian and fellow TUGgers. Does TUG have a referral link or better yet a way to send a member QR Code?

Greetings from our wk 7,8,9. TS Quarter House in New Orleans. At a social last night I showed the TUG website on my mobile device, i also sent/referred these 6 happy RCI and Int Int'l guests the link.

A QR code would have been helpful...and dont you think also trackable?

Thank you all for being my brothers and sisters of TS wisdom.

i can certainly create a qr code for folks to use sure! though it would still require the new member to input your name/username/email in the field when they joined!

can also just use https://join.tug2.net to send to anyone via email if they want to join etc.
