Find the referral code in Invite

The official launch guide directs the inviter to Friends and then Invite. Use the referral invitation from there, rather than assuming any number from a Trainer profile is interchangeable. Send it to your friend before they begin their return so there is time to understand the offer and complete the appropriate entry flow.

Check the milestones with your friend

The referral program links rewards to the referred Trainer's progress. Plan to review the in-game milestone list together rather than relying on an old event graphic or a fixed bundle advertised elsewhere. This also helps distinguish an uncompleted task from a completed reward that still needs claiming.

Contact syncing is a separate choice

Pokémon GO's contact-import announcement describes an optional way to find people or invite them to play. It says contact discoverability and syncing can be managed in settings. You can use a direct referral invitation without treating an address-book import as the reward itself; the referral and friendship records are what you need to check.

What to check when a reward is missing

Start with the confirmation that the invitation was linked to the intended Trainer, then inspect your friendship connection and the relevant milestone. Record the account-return date and the task that appears complete. Those details help separate an eligibility issue from a pending gameplay requirement or an unclaimed reward.
