Any incentive for inviting members?
0I want to invite hella people to meh.com (I was always a fan of woot!) but I have been spoiled by referral credits and promotions.
Can we get a month of VMP for everyone who signs up and buys something after we refer them?

no.

pooping all over my parade, @carl669.
actually, there used to be a referral program of $5 per person. but, @cengland0 made them do away with it.
Are you saying that because they are the scapegoat of the month? Is that how this works?
This site is very exciting. I am so happy to have woot! back. So to speak.
@HELLOALICE Yes, the scapegoat of the month takes the blame for everything that goes wrong during the month.
[Unofficial] Here's how the referral program works.
You bring in more people who buy stuff, and Meh sells more stuff. When Meh sells more stuff, it means they can buy in higher quantity. When they buy in higher quantities, they can negotiate better prices. When they get better prices, we get better prices. You also benefit from better prices.
You get more interesting people to use the forums, and the forums get more interesting. You benefit from the better forums.
So go forth, and bring in more interesting people who buy stuff, for the benefit of Meh, for your own benefit.
[Even More Unofficial] You can also try to get T-shirts. Let your friends know that you'll tell them about a cool site, but before you tell them, make them promise to give you a T-shirt if they like it.
@hamjudo tl;dr @marklog fingered his dog
@DaveInSoCal why couldn't @hamjudo finger it? he wrote the post.
@marklog It won't be the same. It's like if they offer shirts on a regular basis; there's no doubt who's going to end up with the blame.
@marklog Because.
@HELLOALICE Meh did offer us a T-shirt if we referred, hmm, I believe it was nine new people. There might be future offerings, who knows. However, keep your VMP active because Meh has specials deals for VMP members besides the free shipping. Welcome to Meh!
@barnabee LOL, I don't know 9 people with jobs.
@barnabee Are these special deals hidden away somewhere? I haven't seen one in the last two weeks anyway
@Pantheist It was the deal of the day on August 22nd. Buy a Meh T-shirt for the low price of $1 and promise to tell 9 friends about it. https://meh.com/deals/meh-shirt (I've told at least 18 people, so one of you lazy people is no longer under obligation.)
@hamjudo I meant for VMP. I know they said special deals for VMP would be added when they took out the convenience of being able to pre-cancel, but I haven't seen a single one.
@Pantheist There have been two VMP offerings, I think: A shirt was offered (Nov. 10) when the terms of the VMP membership was changed https://mediocre.com/forum/topics/a-mediocre-shirt-available-exclusively-to-vmp-members and an apron was offered (Nov. 16) separately to VMP members. https://meh.com/deals/meh-farm-to-table-bundle--apron--knife--roaster---thermometer Remember: I am not a Meh historian nor do I play one on TV.
@barnabee Fair enough. looks like @snapster was right. I'm just a regular mediocre person.
Yes, we get to stay in business and keep selling you silly things.
