Example of how it works, if you activated your referrals on Monday?
Monday two new referrals are assigned to you.
Referral 1: costs $10
You attempt to contact this project owner within 24 hours of receiving the referral, wait 5 days for them to respond and have no luck speaking with them, you are eligible to dispute this referral.
Referral 2: costs $5 You contact the project owner and speak with them.
Saturday you are working Referral 2 and you submit a dispute for Referral 1.
The following Monday your credit card on file is charged $5 for Referral 2 which was valid and you're protected by the Contact Guarantee for Referral 1 and owe nothing for this referral.
