You do not need to be a GVTC customer to make referrals in the GVTC Friends & Family Referral Program; however, there are certain exceptions to who can participate. GVTC customers whose accounts are disconnected for non-payment or have a past-due balance are not eligible. Customers who pay for qualified products or services with taxpayer dollars or government funding/grants/reimbursement programs (such as schools, libraries, rural healthcare organizations, government agencies/entities, etc.) are not eligible to participate. GVTC employees who earn commissions for acquiring new customers are not eligible to participate in the program.
A qualified referral must result in a brand-new GVTC customer activating service for the first time; referrals do not apply to existing customers adding or upgrading services. The new customer must purchase at least one new GVTC service (internet, streaming television, security, or phone) as a direct result of a referral submitted through the program.
One Visa® gift card is provided per sale (not per product or bundled item), and only one gift card is issued per household, per sale. Visa® gift cards expire six (6) months after they are claimed/issued; any unused funds after expiration are forfeited.
Participants may make unlimited referrals and receive one gift card per household for each successful referral resulting in a qualified sale. New customers must retain service for at least 30 days. Rewards are subject to federal income tax, and GVTC will issue an IRS Form 1099-MISC if a participant receives $600 or more in a single tax year. Other restrictions may apply. The Friends & Family Referral Program may be modified or discontinued at any time.
