Referrals are paid as a manual item on your QD invoice, not as automated pay. They follow slightly different rules to standard assignment pay because the booking has to materialise before we can pay you.
Amounts
Referral type | Payment | How |
Academy referral | €200 per accepted student | Manually attributed, and "manual item" on an invoice. |
Yacht referral (full yacht booking) | As defined in the admin system under Referrals | Automatic system |
Cabin referral | As defined in the admin system under Referrals | Automatic system |
When can I invoice?
Yacht and cabin referrals are only paid once the underlying booking has materialised, which usually means the cancellation window has passed.
Academy referrals are paid once the student have been accepted and passed Skipper or Host Academy. For all other academies it's enough for the referral to have participated in the course.
How to add a referral to your invoice
Open your invoice page in your profile.
Open or create an invoice (the same QD invoice you use for normal pay is fine, but keep referrals out of any Yacht Week invoice).
Add a manual item with the referral amount.
Once the referral booking is complete you can press claim in the admin system.
Common questions
Do I need a receipt?
No. Referrals don't require a receipt.
Can I invoice for a yacht referral straight after the booking is made?
No. Wait until the booking has materialised and the claim button generates an invoice amount.
Can I add multiple referrals to one invoice?
Yes, please do. Multiple referral items on the same invoice are fine, as long as they are all QD-approved.
