Frequently Asked Questions

Refer a friend program

What is the Refer a Friend program?

Refer up to 15 friends to Western Union and get a 20 CAD Amazon e-gift code* for every friend you refer. Plus, each friend you refer will get a 20 CAD Amazon.ca e-gift code*.

How does the Refer a Friend program work?

Earn rewards in three easy steps:

  • Share the referral link with your friend (“Referee”) through social media or email.
  • The referee should register with Western Union (Canada site or mobile app) and accept the Terms and Conditions .
  • The referee must complete an online international or domestic transfer of 100 CAD or more within 30 days of their registration, during the promotion period.

After completing all the steps above, you’ll both receive a 20 CAD Amazon.ca e-gift code*.

You can send the referral link to as many friends as you want – who are 18 years of age or older, but you can only earn rewards up to 300 CAD for the first 15 friends that complete all the requirements.
