Gift Certificate

I have a few questions about gift certificates. I used the search but I havent found the answers.

A friend of mine wants to try SL. Credit cards are not as common over here as in the US, so he cant get a basic account, so one way would be to give him a certificate (and he can pay me cash ;) )

I really hope that if I give him a premium account, he cant charge my credit card. But how could he buy L$?

Can he change his account back to a basic one after the premium account expires?

Do I get the "refer a friend" bonus?

As I was told, the credit card information (for a basic account) was mainly there to verify the age of the player. How is this with the gift certificate? (even if my friend is waaaay over 18 ;) )

Riffey4! Good of you to ask. Even with the gift certificate, your friend needs a way to verify--that means identification like credit card or SMS.

Yes, he can change his account to Basic after your Premium gift expires.

I'm not sure about the referral bonus, but I do know who would know--

It sounds like there are several other things involved in your specific instance, so I wouldn't hesitate to contact [email]billing@secondlife.com[/email] or call support to explain more. Best of hope. :)
