Perhaps you should start off by reading the Referral FAQ. It clearly states that: Each time someone follows this link to LiveWire and joins as a new member and earns a minimum of 75 points, your account will be credited 50 reward points and your referral count will be incremented by one.


Which means, lets say you have Account A and then create Account B and give Account B the referral link. At the time of the referral you have 300 points:

Account A = 300 points
Account B = 0 points

You sign onto Account B, use the referral link then earn 75 points by making posts and daily points. Once you have earned 75 points on Account B Davjs (David) then assigns Account A the appropriate number of reward points. So now it would be:

Account A = 350 points (Original 300 points + 50 reward points for referring Account B)
Account B = 75 points (Points earned through posting)


That is where it ends. You cannot sign onto Account B and give Account A any points because Account B does not have any "reward points" to give, they just have regular points. Like Jenny said, you would have to make posts on Account B to earn the 75 points on Account B, just to get the 50 rewards points for Account A. It's too much work just to earn 50 points and also like Jenny and Steven said, David checks IP's to verify that people aren't creating multiple acconts just so they can get rewards points. This is also why he made it 75 points that the "new member" has to earn before reward points are given out. Why would someone want to make 75 posts on one account just to earn 50 points on their original account?

The points are the same thing. All points, reward or not, make you closer to the next rank. But I do believe that they are transferable points.
