I might be wrong, just going of the new wording on the emails, but has anyone noticed/or can you confirm that the referral credit is no longer a 'credit', but a 'discount'? This matters because you can't stack them, so previously credited would add up and you could get a $100 box for free with enough credit. But now you can only get '$35' (or whatever the your referral 'credit' value is) off a box, which is considerably worse than most of the new customer discounts. Better than nothing, but a pretty big nerfing of the referral process IMO. Okay turns out I was able to confirm myself (I didn't originally want to try incase it added as a discount, which meant it wouldn't use my existing credits unless I manually had the discount removed). You do now need to click the button in the email to get given the credit (so if you miss the email or forget it may be lost), but at least it is still treated as credit not a discount. PHEW!
