Introduction

This is perhaps the scenario that everyone dreads when they get a UB referral code because it is the worst one that exists. It is the scenario where even though you had access to a code, you failed to use the code for one reason or another. It could be because you forgot, because you clicked ahead past the entry page by accident or even because you entered the code incorrectly without checking before submitting. Whatever the reason may be, at this point you need to be aware of the options available to you for reviving a missed UB referral code.

Send Code to Support

The first thing that you want to do if you miss using the UB referral code is e-mail support immediately and send them the code. Do not wait to do this at a later time. If you do it later, support might think that you got the code after the fact and are just trying to get something now that you were not entitled to at the time you signed up. If you send them the code immediately after signing up however, there is a better chance that they will think that you had the code beforehand and give you credit for having used it even though you didn’t type it in.

Ask Support for Benefits

At the same time that you are sending the UB referral code into support, you might want to ask them for the benefits of the code anyway. Even though that is a little bit strange to do after having missed using the UB referral code, showing knowledge of the deal is a good way to let them know that your intention all along was to use the code to get the bonus deal. If you ask them for that entitlement anyway, there is every chance to believe that they will give it to you and allow you to make use of the deal even if you miss using the UB referral code.

Conclusion

Missing the UB referral code slot during the signup process is a problem, but it is not the end of the world. If you immediately take steps to address the problem, you could very well end up discovering that the problem does not even materialize. As with all forms of mitigation however, the key here is speed. The faster you send that e-mail, the safer things will be.
