Step by step
- Pick the phone you'll trade on.
- Open fomo.family/r/deal in its browser.
- Install Fomo from the App Store or Google Play.
- Create your account with Apple, Google or email.
- Type DEAL if a code box appears.
- Make a small trade and check the fee line: 0.45% means the discount is on.
Why an invite sometimes doesn't stick
| What happened | Why | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Link opened on a laptop, app installed on a phone | The invite is tied to the device that opened it | Open the link on the phone, before signup |
| Another invite opened later | The last invite before signup counts | Open fomo.family/r/deal again, last |
| Account already existed | Codes only work at signup | No field to add one later |
| Link opened first, still no referrer | Rare tracking miss | Profile > Settings > Help and Support > Contact Support |
A recorded referrer can't be changed. Your own code: profile, gift icon. Source: Fomo's referral help page.
Questions
Do I have to type the code?
Usually not. Opening fomo.family/r/deal before signup records it. If a code box appears, type DEAL.
Can I add a referral code after signing up?
No. Fomo has no field for it after signup.
