June 1 – Registration Transfers Open!
Want to sell your registration, or purchase a wristband from a third party? On June 1st, registration transfers will open. Here’s how you do it!
To transfer the registration:
- Once the original registrant is logged into their account, here, find the RAGBRAI registration under “Registrations” from the left menu bar.
- Click the three dots in the top of your upcoming event then “Transfer Registration.”
- Simply enter the new registrant’s email address, and they’ll receive an email to complete the transfer process.
- The link in the transfer email they’ll receive expires in 48 hours, so please encourage them to complete the transfer on their end as soon as possible!
- After going through the registration process and paying the registration price that the original registrant paid, the new registrant will receive an email confirmation that they are registered, and the original registrant receive a new email confirming that their registration has been cancelled. The original registrant will be refunded the registration fee to their original payment method in 7-10 days.
Please note that products, like vehicle passes and souvenir packs, will not be transferred to the new registrant.
The new registrant will need to purchase these items during their transfer registration process if they would like them. The original registrant will be refunded for any vehicle passes or souvenir passes purchased with their registration to their original payment method automatically, though these refunds may take a bit longer to come through than the registration refund. Any other products, like jerseys, cannot be refunded as these items have already shipped.
If you, the original registrant, have any trouble initiating the transfer, please send over the new registrant’s email address to [email protected], and we can send them the transfer link on your behalf!
Disclaimer
Please note that the refund to the original registrant will be processed through our registration platform, EnMotive. There is no need to send money through third-party cash apps. RAGBRAI will not be responsible for people getting scammed. If you have any doubts about the legitimacy of the original registrant, please feel free to send us an email at [email protected] and we can confirm whether they are registered.
