Why didn't I get my Xoom Referral Bonus?

Though the Xoom referral program looks pretty straightforward, there is still some magic involved with it. This magic is like the magic item where the magician asks you for your $10 bill, and makes it vanish. For others, it may appear fun, but it ain't funny for you.There are some conditions that Xoom has laid out, which needs to be followed for you to get your referral amount. Here's how it goes:

After clicking the referral link http://xoom.tellapal.com/a/clk/14xTry until making the money transfer, make sure about the following:
(i) Do not clear the cookies on your computer
(ii) Do not close Xoom website and return back later to do money transfer
(iii) Do not click on any other Xoom.com links
Seems like Xoom want to make sure that as soon as you sign up at Xoom with the referral link, you immediately do the money transfer. Thats the way they would be tracking that you signed up with a referral link.

So, when you do your money transfer now, follow the above, and be assured that Magician Xoom will not be able to spell its magic on your $25 this time.Happy earning!!

[Update 24-Mar-13]: Seems like Xoom has reduced the referral bonus to $15.  It is still worth giving a try! :-)

What to know about Xoom Referral

Xoom is offering $25 as referral bonus!! Yes, you heard it correct. And with this scheme, both the referrer as well as the referee get this bonus. This is a win win situation. If you are planning to transfer some money to your home country, this is an offer worth trying.

Here's how it works:

1) Click on this link: http://xoom.tellapal.com/a/clk/14xTry. This will activate the referral code, though you might not see it anywhere over the screen, except for a longer link.

2) Click on "Sign-up For Free" Button. Fill-up all the details and fields as required/asked.

3) Transfer the money. Remember, $25 will only be credited when you actually transfer money and not just at the time of registering.
