KOODO Refer a friend doesn't work

It has become extremely frustrating to deal with the complete lack of proper assistance from Koodo’s customer service. Despite multiple attempts over several months, I have yet to receive a clear answer or any meaningful support regarding the missing referral bonus from January. Instead of resolving the issue, I was repeatedly redirected and ultimately told to contact you — which is entirely unacceptable at this stage.

On January 2, 2026, I referred a friend to Koodo, and he activated his line on January 5, 2026. It has now been over four months, and neither of us has received the “Refer a Friend” bonus we were explicitly promised. This delay is unreasonable, and the ongoing lack of accountability from Koodo’s support team has only made the situation worse.

To make matters even more concerning, the Koodo support team instructed me to email support@refer.telus.com for assistance. That email address turned out to be fake, as I immediately received a delivery failure notice stating that the address does not exist or cannot receive mail. I am at a loss as to why Koodo is providing customers with non‑existent support contacts. This is not only unprofessional but also raises serious questions about the reliability of the information being provided.

Did you and your friend follow the referral process exactly to the letter?  To prevent abuse, if the referal is done in the wrong order, it will not be approved?

There is also a contact form regarding referrals.  Did you fill out the contact form?

The referral process was followed as directed earlier but asked my friend to do it again today using “I've already registered for the referral program and activated my new mobile phone service. I'd like to complete the referral process.” option. I have filled out the contact form today and submitted.

The referral doesnt work if the new line is already activated prior to completing the process.  Everything must be entered in sequence and within the time frame.

If you did not follow the process exactly and the line is already created, then the referral is lost.  If you are sure you followed all the steps correctly, then I suggest filling in the contact form in the link I provided above.

Yes, the referral process was followed as mentioned earlier and I have also filled out the contact form that you mentioned above.

At this point you will need to wait for the Referral folks on the other end of the Contact Form to reply.

Let us know back here if you dont hear anything by June.
