Lol and it was changed so hastily that their math doesn't make sense:

Because they also changed the quarterly referral cap from 20 people to 10.

But

I know, just pointing out another thing they changed.

1) need to be an account holder for 30+ days
2) $100/ref instead of $200
3) max 10 referrals per quarter instead of 20

Poorly thought out and poorly executed by the company. Their target demo is people making $200k/yr, and this promo likely skewed their membership towards people making much less than that.

Post here if you want a referral. I'll send it to the email address in your DDF profile.
Did you receive any email confirmation from them when people signed up with your link?

@Dan, any idea how many people used your link? Will they be giving you your $200/per?

Where do you see this changed? Just logged into my account and still seeing 200 offer max 4k.

For each "Qualifying New Account" (as defined below) YieldStreet Management, LLC ("YSM") will pay you $200, subject to a cap of $4,000 per calendar quarter (i.e., a total of 20 Qualifying New Accounts per calendar quarter), by causing such amount to be deposited in your Yieldstreet Wallet. In addition, Invitees may be eligible to receive a benefit as YSM determines in its sole discretion.

Quote from: Yieldstreet
Thank you for your interest and participation in Yieldstreet’s standard Referral Program. We wanted to reach out to you to let you know that your account is eligible to receive a referral bonus from our standard Referral Program, which pays $100 for each eligible referee, up to the first 20 invitations.
In June, we also ran a separate promotional program which you were ineligible for. As stated in the terms and conditions, invites were only intended for people you know personally and we believe you (or the person who referred you) made improper use of this program.
You can expect to receive a payment in the coming weeks. Thank you for your support and understanding, and we look forward to having you as an investor in the future.

I responded that I have evidence that I know every referee and my referrer personally. Doubt that will change anything

Lawyers of DDF: Any grounds for a class-action lawsuit or AG complaint?

I should be a chazzer and move on, but OTOH it’s really cr@ppy of them to switch the terms of their promotion after I signed up and referred others.

I've barely been following - Dan refered me, I signed up same day with my Schwab Acct, I didn't get any emails about referrals or anything yet

Do I expect the referral bonus?

They didn't change the rules. The rule about knowing the referee personally was there. I just don't know how you quantify knowing someone personally. He's liked a lot of my posts! If that's not personal, what is?

They changed other rules like $200>$100 (that part wasn’t so clear) and that referring party had to have an account for 30 days.

Meh, with 17m views on YouTube that’s nothing.

If that was the reason they gave you when they said they're not honoring, fine. But from what I can tell, they changed the rules because the promotion wasn't being used as intended, but they never said they weren't honoring people who got in before the change. They do seem to be saying anyone Dan referred is intelligible because he used the forum rather than knowing us personally. You gotta admit, they're case is strong, even if many of us do actually know Dan personally

Haven't talked to them at all. Have a contact to message?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Anyone get paid from Dan's referral?

ETA: I just checked my account and I have $200! Expected $0, so that's cool.

Now let's see if they'll honor my withdrawal request...
