@stevenanto two things going on here.
1 - The referral credit is applied with in 72 hours of activation. They may be a bit behind due to the holidays but to check. If you log into your wife's account. Under "My Rewards" next to referrals should have went up a dollar. If you actually click "My Rewards" then on next page click the little arrow at "Total Rewards earned". Then it will show last 4 digits of numbers referred.
If there is nothing showing. You as the one being referred (not your wife's account) will have to contact moderator's.
Send a private message via link below. Provide your account number (found top right when you log into your account) and your phone number. Say you were referred by this code (add your wife's referral code).

They should get to it within 72 hours.
2- Now as for your auto-pay. The system cannot automatically apply it at sign up. So when you first join you are charged the full amount however PM manually credits your balance within 72 hours (usually with the referral credit) the $2 for very first signup that will go towards your 2nd payment.
If you look in your account you should also see $2 next to "Auto-pay" under your rewards section. If you do that $2 will be credited to your account automatically by the system and next payment due date.
At renewal system credits rewards to available balance first then debits it for plan amount owed, any remaining amount is charged to the card.
