Referrals are not qualified under this program if they already own a Vacation Occupancy Agreement and tour and purchase timeshare. Subsequent purchases from qualified referrals do not entitle the referrer to additional rewards. If a referral has already toured or already purchased before the owner referred them, then there will be no aware for that referral.
