  • When a Tutor who is your Down Line 1 refers another tutor friend and he signs up, he becomes your Down Line 2. For each such Down Line 2 Referral, you earn an incentive of Rs. 50.

  • In case of withdrawal of the Referral Program, all Referrers will be paid out the Referral incentives due to them.

What counts as a successful referral?

  • For your Referrals to successfully earn you incentives, the people you invite must do both of the following:
  • 1. Create their Tutor account at MyFavTutor and complete their profiles.
  • 2. Subscribe to one of the Annual Subscription Plans and complete the payment.

How many friends can one refer?

  • There is no limit to the number of friends you can refer. The more you refer, the more incentives you earn.
  • Warning: MyFavTutor does not endorse or condone spamming or unethical behavior! Only invite people you know are qualified Tutors. MyFavTutor monitors complains and reserve the right to suspend or close Referrer accounts that are found to violate norms. As a referrer you must adhere to our terms and conditions.

How to claim the MyFavTutor Incentives?

  • You need to accumulate at least Rs. 1,000 in your account in order to claim your incentives. To claim your incentives, you need to sign in into your account and go to your dashboard. You can submit your claim request. The claim amount will be credited directly to your bank account. Please note that necessary processing fee and bank charges will be deducted from the amount and payable to you and the rest will get credited within seven working days.

Can a Referrer also earn on renewals?

  • Yes. A Referrer is entitled to 50% of the commissions on all subscriptions of his / her Direct Referrals that are renewed provided he / she meet the “Active Account” criteria. No commissions will be paid thereafter i.e. 2nd renewal and onwards.
  • All the paid subscriptions are valid for a period of one year. After completion of one year, if your Direct Referral renews his / her subscription and pays for another year, you get an incentive of Rs. 100 or 50% of the first year’s commission. So if you have 50 Direct Referrals and each of them renews the subscription, you earn Rs. 5,000. There is no incentive payable for subscription renewal of any of your Down Line Referrals.
  • In order to earn commissions on 2nd year’s Direct Referrals’ subscriptions you must stay engaged in our program and show 15 completed profiles in a 90 days period prior to the day the renewal fee is paid. Such an account is called an “Active Account”.

What happens if a Referrer does not get an average of 5 completed profiles per calendar month?

  • You will always be entitled to your first-year commissions regardless of number of completed signups or paid subscriptions. For subsequent years, if you do not meet the 15 completed profile requirements, you forfeit the commission.
  • For example: If a Direct Referral renews a subscription on June 20 and you have a 9 completed profiles between March 20 to June 20, you will forfeit the commission for this Direct Referral only. If in August you have another renewal and in the 90 days period prior to the payment date met the 15-profile completion condition, you successfully earned that commission.

What happens to idle Accounts?

Referral accounts will be automatically closed if

  • In the first 60 days no referral has been entered
  • After 90 days if no referral is active (all commissions have been exhausted, paid) and no activity e.g. no new referrals has been detected.
