Referral Programme and Competition Terms And Conditions

Promoter

The promoter of the First Table Referral Programme and September Referral Giveaway ("Promotion") is First Table Limited in New Zealand ("First Table", "we", "our", "us").

Application of these Terms

These Terms and Conditions apply to the Promotion as run in the country in which the referring account holder is resident.

Eligibility for Referral Programme

To participate in the Referral Programme:

• the referring account holder must not be in breach of First Table’s general terms and conditions which apply in the referring account holder’s country of residence (“General Terms”);
• the referring account holder must hold a valid First Table account;
• the referred account holder must be new to First Table and must not already have a First Table account;
• the referred account holder must sign up using a valid referral code; and
• the referral must comply with these Terms and Conditions.

First Table reserves the right to verify the eligibility of any participant and to refuse or revoke rewards where these conditions have not been met.

Referral Sign-up Credit

Eligible new First Table account holders who sign up using a valid promo code will receive First Table booking credit in their local currency:

• $5 in NZD, AUD and other dollar-based First Table markets;
• £3 in the United Kingdom; or
• €3 in Ireland.

Booking credit:

• is issued to the account holder's First Table account;
• is non-transferable;
• cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash;
• may be subject to other First Table platform terms;
• has an expiry of 30 days after being credited to the referred account 

Referrer Reward

The referring account holder will receive booking credit once the referred account holder completes their first Eligible Booking.

“Eligible Booking” means the referred account holder’s first completed First Table booking made after account creation. Cancelled bookings, refunded bookings, no-shows, fraudulent bookings and bookings that First Table reasonably determines were made solely to obtain a reward are not Eligible Bookings.

If any booking credit has been issued for a booking that is then cancelled, refunded, or the referred account holder does not show, then that credit will be removed from the referring account holder’s account.

The amount of referral credit awarded will be determined by the referring account holder’s Frequent Foodies Tier  at the time the referred customer completes their Eligible Booking, as set out in the Frequent Foodies reward table available here

Booking credit:

• is issued to the account holder's First Table account;
• is non-transferable;
• cannot be exchanged or redeemed for cash;
• may be subject to other First Table platform terms
• has an expiry of 30 days after being credited to the referring account holder's account 

For the avoidance of doubt, if the referred account holder does not complete an Eligible Booking, no referral reward will be issued.

September Referral Giveaway

The September Referral Giveaway is free to enter and no purchase is necessary to enter or to win a prize.

Each Eligible Referral completed during the Promotion Period will earn the referring account holder one (1) entry into the September Referral Giveaway. There is no limit to the number of entries that may be earned through Eligible Referrals.

Promotion Period

The September Referral Giveaway runs from 12:00am on 1 September 2026 until 11:59pm on 30 September 2026, based on the participant's local time zone.

Only Eligible Referrals completed during this period will be entered into the giveaway.

Giveaway Eligibility

"Eligible Referral” means a referral where a new person, who has never previously held a First Table account, creates a valid First Table account during the Promotion Period using the referring account holder’s unique promo code. The referred account holder does not need to complete an Eligible Booking for the referring account holder to receive a giveaway entry.
