Score Big by Sharing the Love
To celebrate the shortest month of the year, we want to do something special.
From now until the end of the month, every referral you get enters you to win $25 to the local restaurant of your choosing.
But wait, there's more. Whoever gets the most referrals in the month of February will also win $25 to the local restaurant of their choosing.
Not sure how to enter?
Just scroll down to the referral section and share your personalized link.
Ideas on how to rack up the referrals:
- Share your link on social media
- Share in your group message (yes, that one)
- Share with co-workers
The winner will be announced in the Friday, March 3rd Wichita Life Update!
