Q:  What's in it for me?
A:  Quite right! Let's get straight down to it. MONEY you'll receive a £10 cheque for each referral which ends in an order for the board game Crusade. That's a take it to the bank cheque, not one of those £10 off your next order types.

Q:  What's in it for you?
A:  There are several advantages for us, some of them are:

• We consider recommendation to be the best form of advertising and the enthusiasm for the game of those who have actually played Crusade make them the best people to introduce it to others. 
• Selling direct allows us to keep our product competitively priced by avoiding the markup, transport costs and extended credit requirements of dealing with Retail Outlets. We pass our cost savings directly on to the end user.
• We cut advertising costs associated with magazines and newspapers. 
• As the sole manufacturers of Crusade we can be in contact with the end user and offer them the opportunity to enter local and national competitions planned for the future.

Q:  What do I have to do?
A:  When you have purchased your first game of Crusade through our web site www.crusade.co.uk you will automatically qualify for inclusion in our Introduce-a-Friend programme.

1. Visit our website www.crusade.co.uk and click on the Introduce-a-Friend button.
2. Register your details. We'll e-mail you with your unique registration number and inform you of your acceptance on the programme.
3. When you have received your registration number, visit the Introduce-a-Friend page and choose the Registered Member button. Enter your name and number, then list up to 50 e-mail addresses of friends you think would be interested in owning the board game Crusade. You don't have to list them all at once, you can keep returning until your list is full.

That's it, that's all you have to do. We will contact your friends offering them a £5 discount voucher on their first order and you'll earn £10 for each referral which ends in an initial order from anyone on your 'friends' list. They will then also qualify for the opportunity to join the Introduce-a-Friend programme, just like you did.

You can have ordered your game from any country, however our records must show that you have purchased at least ONE Crusade board game by using one of the forms available on the Crusade website www.crusade.co.uk before you can qualify for inclusion in the Introduce-a-Friend programme. Remember any cheques you receive from successful referrals will be in £ sterling and issued through a UK bank.

Q:  Can I submit group e-mail aliases or e-mail mailing lists as referrals?
A:  No.  Multiple e-mail addresses at the same postal address will be rejected, as will any group e-mail aliases or mailing list e-mails.

(top of page)

Q:  My friend received the order. Why haven't I received my cheque?
A:  First check with your friend and see how they made their purchase. It is never our intention to delay remuneration for an introduction, we only increase our sales and reputation by treating you fairly. If you know your friend has received the order it is possible that:

• They did not use the £5 discount voucher to make their purchase.
• They did not place their order within the 28 day validity period of the voucher.
• Your friend was introduced by someone else. 
• Your friend may have ordered online direct prior to receiving the discount voucher.

Q:  I have received a cheque for an order resulting from one of my introductions. Can you tell me which friend it was?
A:  As we are committed to our customers privacy, we are unfortunately unable to provide this information. We suggest that as you know the list of people you referred that you can by process of elimination work out who it was. Anyway they will almost certainly be in touch with you challenging you to a game of Crusade!
