With dish it is $5 per referal for 10 months. They recently changed it so if you have it done right you can have up to $50 the entire year each year, but only 10 referals take at a time. Before you could only receive 10 referals per year(credit wise). I want to say that was 2 years ago the change was made?!? I know direct does $10 per referal, correct? I do like Dishs way of business though, where you get 3 in a time frame and you get a prize(PS4 right now). Both have advantages and disadvantages. Just depends on what you are looking for. I personally don't care about the ST, so DTV is needless to me, but I love the technology aspect, so Dish is great. Long story short, $70 referals credit is impossible, unless they changed their policy again, recently. Would need a retailer to confirm. Or DIRT
