The premise of the Paubox referral program simple and powerful: Refer a friend to Paubox Email Suite and you both earn a $250 credit.
Your friend will receive a 14 day trial and upon successful completion of the trial, you each will receive a $250 credit.
As an added bonus, there are no limits to how many customers you can refer and how much referral credit you can earn.
