How to earn Omio Refer a Friend credit?
Omio Members can receive referral credit if:

To verify an Omio member account, the Referrer must (i) create an account and (ii) verify his/her phone number by supplying his/her mobile phone number to Omio to receive an SMS verification code and then enter this code into the appropriate field on our Website or App.
- The Referred will be credited with the credit amount(s) specified in the referral invitation or accompanying promotional materials, upon:

How to redeem Omio Refer a Friend credit?
- Refer a Friend credit may only be redeemed for bookings booked and paid via the Omio Platform. Once earned, credits will appear on the referring Member’s checkout page.
- Refer a Friend credit must be redeemed within one (1) year from the date of issue, after which it will automatically expire.
- To redeem Refer a Friend credit, a booking must have the minimum total basket price (excluding any service fees or taxes) as indicated in the referral invitation, in the promotional materials, on the Omio Platform and/or on the Refer a Friend section of the Omio Member Account. If the basket price is below the minimum indicated amount, Refer a Friend credit cannot be redeemed. Note that this total basket price may change based on currency fluctuations. No credit will be earned if the booking made by the Referred is cancelled at any time.

Refer a Friend credit cannot be redeemed for tickets purchased offsite using external third-parties or for certain providers that have been integrated directly into Our Services such as Deutsche Bahn or Amtrak, among others.
- For technical reasons, if the amount of credit is equal to or higher than the basket price, at least one (1) Euro must remain as Refer a Friend credit on the account in order for the transaction to be carried out.

Sharing Referral Links
Referral Links should only be used for personal and non-commercial purposes and should only be shared with personal connections who would appreciate receiving these invitations. Referral Links should not be published or distributed where there is no reasonable basis for believing that all or most of the recipients are personal friends; for example, on coupon Websites or with services such as Wikipedia. Referrers are prohibited from spamming anyone with referral invitations. This includes mass emailing, texting or messaging people you do not know or using automated systems or bots through any channel to distribute a Referral Link. Referrers are prohibited from paying to advertize their Referral Links.
Multiple Referrals
A Referred may only use one Referral Link. If a Referred receives Referral Links from multiple Referrers, only the corresponding Referrer used by the Referred for their first purchase via the Omio Platform will be eligible for Referred credits in the Referral Program.
Severability
If any provision in these terms are held to be invalid, non-binding, or unenforceable, such provision or the part of it that is making it invalid, non-binding or unenforceable, will be struck and not affect the validity of and enforceability of the remaining provisions.
