OneDrive referrals do not work

Yep, shows 0 for me as well.
I invited TWO users successfully so far. Both of them reliably and in complete trust.
One of them I had complete control over, even. Meaning I set up their PC in their home, sneakily sent them (myself) an invite email, and used that link to set up their brand new onedrive folder on their brand new system. Using a brand new Microsoft account, yes. Yes, created via following the invite link's prompts (The one that goes "Don't have a Microsoft account yet? Sign up now.") And connected to their smartphone (via phone number) + SMS verified. And app download.
No bonus was applied. To either of us. Even though my referral link was used and I saw it in the URL bar for a while. Then it disappeared but I assumed the new registration was already credited to me and thought nothing of it at the time.
The other person too; I expect he has clicked the sign up link I instructed them to click, and signed up under me. (Pyramid schemes are evil, but whatever.) Anyway, he sent me a file using onedrive soon afterwards, so it must have worked. But I see no bonus. Just a new onedrive user microsoft stole from me without paying my minimum required commission of 500MB storage for my "tech evangelism".
Give me my 1 GB, I desperately need it. And I earned it!
My Lumia 950XL takes gigantic (file size 8MB+) photos and I love zooming in on small details in them. Except photo sync keeps turning off as I run out of space and have to delete old photos regularly. No, no videos or big files. Just hundreds of 25 megapixel each shots. I don't want to convert down either, I'd lose the fine detail.
