Referral System

Invite friends, earn ballots.

Every CME user gets a unique referral code. Share it with friends; when they sign up and start using the platform, you both earn ballot rewards.

Your Referral Code

Every account comes with a unique referral code in the format CME-XXXXXX. Find it on your dashboard in the Referral Card.

Referral Lifecycle

Each referral moves through three stages. You earn ballots at the key milestones.

You share your referral code or send an invite. The invitee receives your unique link.

Signed Up

The invitee creates an account using your referral code. You earn 1 ballot.

Activated

The invitee completes their profile and submits their first application. You earn 2 more ballots.

You earn ballots when your referral reaches key milestones.
