@robinbanks44, when your friend goes to activate an account, in the first screen when inputting profile information, there's a section that asks if they were referred. They would indicate Yes and input the PM cell phone number of the person that referred them. You have to make sure they input YOUR PM cell phone number. Or if you got to a Walmart or any other vendor, and they are inputting the information, ask them to show you the screen before moving on to the next screen to make sure they input the phone number correctly. I'm emphasizing this because I believe you only get one chance at this. If the wrong number was input and the activation is complete, then there's no way to get that fixed, so it has to be done right the first time. If I'm wrong, someone on this forum will correct me.
