Double Referral BOO-nus!

Don’t miss out on this scary good DOUBLE REFERRAL offer. In addition to the standard referral bonus, you will receive a second referral bonus (based on your OctoPro level) for any new Octopus applicants you refer who begin an application between 10/23 and 10/31. They then must finish the application, be approved, and activate their tablet by 11/15.

How it Works:

Starting (10/23), any new referrals you add to your pipeline by the end of the month (10/31) will be eligible for you to earn a DOUBLE bonus. Qualified bonuses will be paid for any new driver referral whose Account Status is ACTIVE by 11/15.

All bonus earnings will be paid within ten (10) business days following the end of this promotion (11/15/23). Standard referral bonuses will still be issued on time according to normal payment.

But that’s not all – “The Button” has been reskinned and risen from the grave, now sporting a brand-new Hallotheme for the holiday! Every time a passenger dares to press it on your tablet, you are entered into a contest drawing. On Halloween night, TEN lucky eligible drivers will be chosen at random to receive a bone-chilling $100 each!
