Is a "First Table promo code" the same as a referral link?
Terms like "First Table promo code", "firsttable discount code", "First Table coupon NZ", and "firsttable voucher" all point to the same $5 signup credit. First Table applies it through a referral link — sign up via the button on this page and the credit lands in your account automatically; there's no code field.
