Length of referral rewards?

How long does it take to get referral rewards? I got 4 friends to sign up for the subscription, and deposit $5 into their account. It’s been 3 weeks since I got my friends to join; and about 2 weeks since everyone has been “ completed” via Acorns app.

Probably in a little over a week everyone will be charged again for the monthly… that was not anticipated. After 2 weeks of their accounts being completed ( 4 different banks, social securities and subscriptions) why have I not been given any sign that the referral will be paid out.

I tried contacting support by phone and I got a vague message that I’ll get an answer through email.

All I was told via email is the exact same thing the app already tells me. The 4 steps to be verified. Which had been done already.

I feel I cheated my friends and I don’t know if I should tell them to unsubscribe since we’re coming up to that time and risk losing the referral.

What do yall suggest?

P.S. to Acorns …. - I got another referral program for the same amount $1k for 4 sign ups. If I had been already paid I’d be running for more sign ups, and you’d have more subscribers. But because this feels like a scam. I ignored it completely. - you want the referral programs to work, make sure it doesn’t feel like a scam to the person running the program for you and to their friends and family.

P.S. to Acorns again -for a month I spoke nothing but good about this app but if I come out a liar because of the referral program; I will take my money out and leave a 1 star review. Cause I’ve never seen a multi billion dollar company act so poorly.
