I by mistake signed up without a refferal link. Any chance I can still get them to give me 1k in free processing?
(I called CS twice already and didn't even manage to get through after waiting forever)
Sure just email them tell them that you did use a referral link but can't seem to find ur free processing anywhere

I now legit businesses that are getting the emails too. HEard from a shop owner who had 9k in legit charges one day last week and they closed him down. Something tells me that they are not financially secure or got creamed by the free 1k swipe offer. They can theoretically go under any given day and your money is stuck there through a bankruptcy. Be careful. If you get the email, refund the charges and run. Dont try and wait them out. Its not worth the risk. 
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

But cmiiw they don't shut you down they just ask u for verification documents & if ur a legit business and ur ready to go thru with verification then I can't see why they wouldn't open you back up

How do they have such a good rating
Maybe because most of their customers actually sell stuff. :P
