What is Refer Friends?
Refer Friends is Timer's built-in referral program that rewards you for inviting others to the platform. Every user receives a unique referral link and code that they can share via email, WhatsApp, Telegram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, or by letting friends scan a QR code. When someone signs up using your link, both you and your friend receive 5 Pallas Minutes instantly. On top of that, you both earn a 10% Pallas Minutes bonus on every PM package your friend purchases — and these rewards never expire.
Pro Tip: The referral page displays a live QR code of your unique link. Show it to colleagues during meetings or events for instant sign-ups without needing to type or send anything.
Key Features
Unique Referral Link
Each user gets a personal referral URL (timer.pt/join/your-code) that can be copied with one click or shared directly through built-in social sharing buttons.
QR Code Sharing
A scannable QR code is generated automatically from your referral link. Friends can scan it with their phone camera to open your sign-up page instantly.
Dual Reward Structure
Earn 5 PM on signup plus 10% PM on every purchase your referrals make. Both you and your friend receive the same reward — it is always mutual.
Real-Time Stats Dashboard
Track your Pallas Minutes balance, total invites sent, friends who joined, and total rewards earned — all updated live with animated counters every 60 seconds.
Core Workflow
1
Copy or Share Your Link
Your unique referral link is displayed in the hero section at the top of the page. Click the Copy Link button to copy it to your clipboard, or use the quick-share buttons to send it directly via WhatsApp, Telegram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, or Email.
2
Invite by Email
Use the Invite by Email card on the right side to enter a friend's email address and click Send. Timer sends a branded invitation email containing your referral link. You can track the status of each invite in the history list below.
3
Friend Signs Up
When your friend creates a Timer account using your referral link, the system automatically connects your accounts. Both of you receive 5 Pallas Minutes credited to your wallets immediately.
4
Earn Purchase Rewards
Every time your referred friend purchases a Pallas Minutes package, both of you earn a 10% PM bonus. For example, if they buy the Pro package (500 PM), you each receive 50 PM. These rewards are lifetime and never expire.
5
Track Your Progress
Monitor your referral performance using the four stat cards (Pallas Minutes balance, Invites Sent, Friends Joined, Total Earned) and the Invites history list that shows each referral's status — pending, joined, or cancelled.
How It Works
The referral system is designed to be simple and transparent. Here is what happens behind the scenes when you share your link:
- Link Generation: When you first visit the Refer page, Timer generates a unique referral code tied to your account and creates a shareable link in the format timer.pt/join/your-code
- Sharing Channels: You can distribute your link via six channels — copy to clipboard, WhatsApp, Telegram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, or direct email invitation from within the page
- QR Code: A QR code is auto-generated from your referral link and displayed alongside the hero section for in-person sharing at events, meetings, or on printed materials
- Signup Reward: When someone uses your link to create a Timer account, both accounts are credited with 5 Pallas Minutes instantly
- Purchase Reward: Ongoing 10% PM bonus on every Pallas Minutes package your referral purchases — this applies to both you and your friend, for life
- Invite Limits: You have up to 10 active email invitations at a time. Cancelling a pending invite frees up a slot. There is no limit on link or social sharing
- Auto Refresh: Stats and wallet balance refresh automatically every 60 seconds, so you see new signups and rewards without reloading the page
Reward Structure
The Refer Friends page includes a detailed rewards breakdown card showing exactly how rewards are calculated:
Signup Bonus
5 Pallas Minutes for you and 5 Pallas Minutes for your friend — credited the moment they complete registration through your link.
Purchase Bonus
10% of every PM package your friend buys is awarded to both of you. A Basic (100 PM) purchase earns 10 PM each; a Pro (500 PM) purchase earns 50 PM each.
Lifetime Duration
Referral rewards never expire. As long as your friend remains on Timer and purchases PM packages, you continue earning the 10% bonus indefinitely.
Example Earnings
10 friends who each buy the Pro package (500 PM) would earn you 550 PM total — 50 PM from signups plus 500 PM from purchase bonuses.
Best Practices
Use Multiple Channels
Do not rely on a single sharing method. Copy your link for direct messages, use WhatsApp for casual contacts, LinkedIn for professional connections, and email for formal invitations to maximize your reach.
Personalize Email Invites
When using the built-in email invitation feature, mention why you find Timer useful. A personal recommendation converts far better than a generic link share.
Show Your QR Code In Person
At meetings, conferences, or coworking spaces, pull up the Refer page and let people scan your QR code directly. It removes friction and makes signing up effortless.
Monitor Your Invites
Check the Invites history regularly. Cancel pending invitations that have gone unanswered to free up slots for new contacts who are more likely to join.
Target the Right People
Focus on colleagues and contacts who actively schedule meetings, use AI tools, or need a productivity platform. They are most likely to sign up, stay active, and purchase PM packages — maximizing your ongoing rewards.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many people can I refer?
There is no limit on how many people you can refer using your link or social sharing buttons. The 10-invite limit applies only to direct email invitations sent from the page. Cancel a pending invite to free up a slot if you reach the cap.
Do referral rewards expire?
No. Both signup rewards and purchase bonuses are lifetime. Once credited, Pallas Minutes remain in your wallet until you use them. The 10% purchase bonus continues for every future purchase your referral makes.
Does my friend also get rewards?
Yes. The referral program is fully mutual. Your friend receives the same 5 PM signup bonus and the same 10% purchase bonus that you do. Both parties benefit equally from every transaction.
Can I regenerate my referral code?
Yes, but use caution. Generating a new referral code will invalidate your current link, meaning any previously shared links will stop working. Only regenerate if you believe your current code has been compromised.
How quickly are rewards credited?
Signup rewards (5 PM each) are credited instantly when your friend completes registration. Purchase rewards (10% PM each) are credited as soon as the purchase transaction is confirmed. Stats on the page refresh automatically every 60 seconds.
