But that's perfect! If at the end of the year you don't like it enough to keep paying, but they'll give you another month if you can get a referral - sure, it's not the most enthusiastic campaign ever, but it didn't cost our nearly-gone friend anything, and Graal's up 11 paid months (1 year-1 month).
Which is the problem I keep coming to: we're effectively asking Unixmad to lower the price of upgrading to Gold by 1/12th, and give that 1/12th to the referrer...so if you had two brothers who upgraded at the same time and constantly insist it's the other that encouraged them to reupgrade, they both get a discount every year. So do you make it so only new upgrades get to benefit a referrer? Only new accounts outright? Maybe the referrer is set when they sign up for Lifetime Classic (assuming that survives) and they reap the benefits every time that account upgrades, for bringing in such a generous player in the first place? You can only refer a specific account once? Then the brothers can upgrade for each other one year, upgrade for a couple neighbors the next year (who upgrade for them)...
