is the referral code considered personal info?
According to the Community Hub, we are not supposed to post any personal information, but I've seen a lot of people posting their referral code. My questions:
(1) Wouldn't the referral code be personal info?
(2) Do a lot of people (any?) come onto this forum before they join Fizz? Assuming not, is their an advantage for a current user to know someone else's code?

1) the referral code is not a personally identifiable information (like a phone number or email address). It is mean to be promoted BUT there are 2 places in this forum to display it
- beside your name, using the Location field in your forum profile.
- in this specific thread https://forum.fizz.ca/en/discussion/2198337/this-is-the-place-for-your-referral-codes-here-and-only-here (and its French equivalent)
2) Some clients do come here before they activate their first service. The Referral code is useful upon activating the first service. Some come as a simple internet lurker without signing to the forum. As for your very last question, please specify "advantage", because to me 50$ is quite advantageous (if you know and use my code, wink, wink).

I believe Idefizz covered it well. The referral code is not linked to your personal information. As a matter of fact, Fizz introduced the referral code as a way to send data gifts, because it way better privacy wise.
Fizz openly says on their website that somebody an find a code in the forum from user. So that’s why first time users might come here :)
