Tell-A-Friend, Earn A Reward
Plus, be entered to win a Yeti® Tundra 45 cooler, valued at $299!
We love rewarding our members when they spread the word about our great checking accounts—that’s why we introduced our Tell-A-Friend program. When your friend opens a Mid Oregon checking account, you’ll both get a reward! We’ll buy back their old debit cards and checks for up to $10, and enter them to win a prize! (Prize through February 23, a 50″ Magnavox 1080p HDTV). Tell-A-Friend, earn a reward.
What do you get when you refer someone? A $10 gift card! And there is no limit, so you can keep referring. As long as the person you refer provides us with your name and email address, your award will be automatic.
Ways To Refer
There are three easy ways to refer your friends:
- First, you can obtain a Mid Oregon Tell-A-Friend referral coupon, complete your information on the back and give it to your friend. We will capture your information when they present the coupon as they open their checking account. Tell-a-Friend Referral Coupon- Best Resolution.
- Second, you can email your friend automatically using our online referral page, https://refer.midoregon.com/. Just visit the page, complete your information, and enter your friend’s name, email address, and a brief personal message before you send. When your friend opens their checking account, our new account representative will see you sent them an email, and complete the process.
- And now you can also share through your own email or social media with a sharable link. Visit the same webpage at https://refer.midoregon.com/. Instead of clicking “Email A Friend”, click “Get Shareable Link”. That will produce your personalized URL you can copy and paste into any number of places. When the friend opens their new checking account, you will be credited with the referral.
