Referrals still not applied to my account

[#1]

Back in November a family member joined PN Broadband and phone on my recommendation and, their account was activated in December however I'm still waiting for my referral discount to be added to my account. I'm told that this is due to an upgrade with the systems which is causing the problem and I've had a ticket raised since November which is still open today because the discount still cannot be applied to my account. Whats the point of referring anybody if the system doesn't work? My contract is due up in March this year and I am considering my options but this issue has left me a little bit frustrated because as every month passes I miss out on an albeit small discount and the way it is going it wouldn't surprise me if come the end of my contract it still isn't resolved. When is this likely to be sorted out? Also as a long term PN customer I've been generally pretty happy with the BB so if this issue is sorted out I would like to discuss my options with a view to potentially signing up again if there is a good deal on offer as yet again I see new customer deals being better than those available to longstanding customers.

Why would you refer anyone to a system you know to be broken? This whole refer system is corrupt.

This referrals issue still hasn't been resolved and quite frankly now it is beyond a joke. Just looking at ,my open ticket on the issue since November there have been 21 replies from PN basically bouncing from one dept to another with no sign of it ever getting resolved. It's really poor that PN still advertise the referrals but yet they can't honour it and I think I have been patient enough on the issue!

Apologies for the issues with adding on your referral. I've raised this with our incident management team and I've moved the ticket 184788127 on your account to follow up when I know more.

plus if someone signed up using a link you posted on facebook you would never know

The Refer a friend system is screwed and plusnet will not admit it

Hi Steve.

I'm sorry to see you're affected by this issue too, I can see we've added your account into the internal problem open with our incident management team for further investigation. For clarification can you PM me the usernames of the referrals which haven't been applied to your account so I can investigate this further?

Just send a Pm to you

Regards

Thanks Steve, I'll pick that up shortly

If the referred account is in suspended billing, the referrer is not going to see any referral credits posted to their account.  This issue has been raised within the SU community!!

[#11]

The friend who has signed up has been active a few months now and has never had a suspended account

Hi @spa, my colleague @Gandalf is looking into this for you and will update you further tomorrow.
