I just shared my referral link with my friends, why haven’t I received any points?
We implement a manual verification process to confirm that your point-earning activities have been completed before awarding points. Sometimes it may take a day or two before we can confirm your activity and award you points. If you still do not receive points after several days, please contact us at info@polycotassociates.com.

What is your privacy policy? How will you use my email?
Unless you indicate that you allow us to contact you for marketing purposes upon sign up, all data provided will be used solely for the purposes of participation in the referral campaign and contest. If you consent to marketing communications, you will be added to our mailing list and provided a link to a sign up form where you can further specify your preferred communication settings.

What if I want to participate but don’t live close enough to Austin to take advantage of the co-op gift cards?
We want to reward everyone who can offer us referrals. Our intention with this campaign is to co-promote other worker cooperatives. If there is one such business that is closer to you please contact us at info@polycotassociates.com and we will be glad to purchase a gift card for that business of equal value. While this is our preference, we understand this may not work for everyone, so if you need further accommodation, please let us know at the email above and we can discuss it.

Do I have to be a former client of Polycot to participate?
No. Everyone is welcome to participate. So long as you know someone who could benefit from a Polycot website, we invite you to send your referral!

Who do I contact if I have further questions?
