The fine print on the promotion — kept short, plain, and to the point.
The Route 38 Referral Program is run by Route 38 LLC. Questions? Email promo@route38.net.
Referrals count if the person you refer contacts Route 38 between 1 September and 31 October 2026, is fully set up by 31 December 2026, and names you as the referrer.
Anyone 18 or over can refer someone. The person being referred has to be new to Route 38 — not a current client, not a prior employee, and not someone we're already in conversation with.
When someone contacts Route 38, they can name the person who sent them our way. Naming a referrer is optional, but it cannot be added or changed after they've joined. If multiple people are named, see point 6.
A referral counts once the new client is fully onboarded, their first invoice is paid, and their first employee has received their first payslip (tlush).
Gift Card to Amazon or BuyMe — your choice.
$250 to the person who referred, and $250 to the person who joined.
If more than one referrer is named for the same new client, we split it: $125 each for two, $100 each for three. We recognise up to 3 referrers per new client.
Where the person referring is themselves a Route 38 business client, in some qualifying cases we can apply their $250 as a credit against their invoice instead of a gift card.
To keep things fair, rewards aren't paid where:
You're welcome to refer people. Just tell your account manager when you do, so there's never any question about it. A referral won't count if you're the one pricing or approving that client's account.
Each new client relationship earns one referrer reward, no matter how many employees they later bring on. It's about opening a new door, not counting heads.
Refer people you actually know, personally. No spam, no mass-blasting links, no made-up or duplicate sign-ups, and nothing designed to game the program. We can pause or withhold a reward if something doesn't look right, and we'll use common sense on genuine edge cases.
Rewards may be taxable, and that's on the person receiving them. If you refer several people, we may need a W-9 from you before sending a reward.
We can change or end the program at any time — anything already earned before then still stands. Our records decide whether a referral qualifies. We're doing this to help you, your friends, and encourage Aliya. Abuse of the program will be met with mockery at best, refusal to service at worst - but either way, we will not be taken advantage of. This isn't a lottery or a raffle; every reward is earned by meeting the conditions above, and nobody has to buy anything to refer. The program is governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, United States.
