I thought "promo codes" referred here to the things you stuck at the end of URLs that took you to the app's install page—sort of like Amazon affiliate IDs. I find the idea that you'd be actively telling people your code, rather than e.g. typing their email address into the app to send them an "invite" link with the code embedded, kind of weird and unintuitive.
