Invite and referral codes

​

Do I need a code to sign in?

No. Anyone can sign in to the Rapid Review app at https://app.rapidreview.dev with “Sign in with GitHub”, and install the GitHub App from there (Install Rapid Review). There’s no waitlist. Every installation is reviewed, whoever installed it, and each account starts with its trial (How does the trial work?). A code only adds extra credits.

​

What are invite and referral codes?

Codes that add prepaid credits to an account, on top of its trial:

• An invite code comes from Rapid Review. It looks like RR-XXXX-XXXX, and brings 100 credits (What do the extra credits give me?).
• A referral code comes from someone who uses Rapid Review: an account’s owner shares it from “Refer and earn”. It looks like RF-XXXX-XXXX, and brings 50 credits to your account and to theirs (What does a referral give?).

Each person uses one code, an invite code or a referral code: once you’ve used one, another isn’t used for you. You can use a code in one of two places: when you sign in (How do I use an invite code?), or on an account’s Usage and billing tab, if you’re its owner (How do I redeem a code on the Usage and billing tab?).

​

How do I use an invite code?

When you sign in: If you’ve already signed in, or the App is already installed on the account, redeem the code on the account’s Usage and billing tab instead (How do I redeem a code on the Usage and billing tab?). A code is good for 7 days after it’s made. Most codes are for one person. A code Rapid Review shares publicly can be used by a number of people, each once, until as many people have used it as it was made for.

​

How do I redeem a code on the Usage and billing tab?

If you’re an owner of an account in the Rapid Review app, a personal account itself or an owner of the organization: The code’s credits go to that account at once, and the tab lists them with the credits added.

• A referral code brings its credits there whatever the account had before, reviews or credits. It’s refused, and stays unused, only on the code’s own account, or the personal account of whoever made it (What does a referral give?).
• A code you used when you signed in whose credits never reached an account, for example because you joined an account that already had the App, can be redeemed here to add them to this account.

​

What do the extra credits give me?

An invite code adds 100 prepaid credits to one account, on top of its trial:

• the first account you install the App on after using the code when you sign in;
• or the account whose Usage and billing tab you redeem it on.

This happens once per person. Installing the App adds no credits to an account that already has it, such as one you join; if you’re that account’s owner, you can redeem your code on its Usage and billing tab. Like other prepaid credits, they’re used once the trial’s credits run out, and kept until used (What are prepaid credits?).

​

Why does the app say my invite code can’t be used?

A code can be used once, by one person, or by as many people as it was made for. The app says so when:

• the code was already used by someone else;
• the code was shared, and as many people already used it as it was made for;
• the code was withdrawn;
• the code has expired: it was made more than 7 days ago;
• you already used a code, an invite code or a referral code;
• there is no such code. Check it for typing mistakes; letter case, spaces and dashes don’t matter.

For a new code, write to support@rapidreview.dev.

​

What is a referral code?

A code that an account’s owner shares, so that both the account of the person who uses it and the account whose code it is earn credits. It looks like RF-XXXX-XXXX; an invite code starts with RR-. Each account has one referral code, and up to 10 people can use it. When someone uses it and installs the App on an account new to Rapid Review, or redeems it on an account’s Usage and billing tab, both accounts get prepaid credits (What does a referral give?).

​

How do I use a referral code?

Use it as you would an invite code: enter it under “Have a code?” on https://app.rapidreview.dev, choose “Sign in with GitHub”, then install the GitHub App on an account, as in Install Rapid Review. Or, as the account’s owner, redeem it on the account’s Usage and billing tab, whenever you like (How do I redeem a code on the Usage and billing tab?). Others can use the code too, up to 10 people in all. Each person uses one code, a referral code or an invite code: once you’ve used one, another isn’t used for you. You can’t use a referral code you made, or your personal account’s.

​

How do I refer someone?

If you’re an owner of an account in the Rapid Review app, a personal account itself or an owner of the organization:

​

What does a referral give?

When someone who used a referral code installs the App on an account new to Rapid Review, or redeems the code on an account’s Usage and billing tab, both accounts get 50 prepaid credits, on top of any trial:

• the account they installed the App on, or redeemed the code on;
• the account whose code it was, up to 1000 credits in all.

This happens once per person:

• When you sign in with the code, on the first account new to Rapid Review you then install the App on. An account is new to Rapid Review when it never had credits or a review, and the App was never installed on it before its current installation. No credits are added for joining an account that already has the App.
• On the Usage and billing tab, on the account you redeem it on, whatever it had before.

Either way, no credits are added for the account whose code it was, or the personal account of whoever made it. A referral code brings these credits in place of an invite code’s 100, not on top of them.

​

Why does the app say my referral code can’t be used?

The app says so when:

• the code is your own: you made it, or it’s your personal account’s;
• you already used a code, a referral code or an invite code;
• 10 people already used the code, the most one code lets in. Ask for another account’s code;
• on the Usage and billing tab, the account is the code’s own, or the personal account of whoever made it. The code stays unused;
• there is no such code. Check it for typing mistakes; letter case, spaces and dashes don’t matter.

A referral code doesn’t expire. It’s used up once 10 people used it; someone who used it before still gets their credits when they install the App on an account new to Rapid Review, or redeem it on an account’s Usage and billing tab.
