£500 cash over and above any offers/discounts if buying a Persimmon Home

Hi,
I live in a Persimmon house in Newcastle, and have to say I'm really happy with the house we got in December 2012. Having read a few horror stories on forums, which made me a bit concerned.
When I bought I got the opportunity to start recommending Persimmon to people I know in exchange for a financial reward.
I did this for the first time for my boss two months ago, and we both got £500.00 cash (for nothing but handing in a form)
If anyone is going to buy persimmon. And you want to get £500 towards whatever you need in your house, send me a PM and I will post you one of my recommend a friend vouchers.
Thought it seemed to be a no brainer to put it on here, as its win win.
What I would say though is negotiate your house price to the lowest price you can get THEN go in and say you have the recommend a friend, so you know your getting an even better deal.
Obviously don't sign anything before you tell them in case it's too late.
Hope this is allowed on this thread, but can't see why not if a new homeowner can get £500 for nothing but handing in a card.
Thanks,
Dean

i think if they were to get a whiff that you are asking strangers off of the internet to get in touch with you for a referral they will reject any future payments0
