I believe this may answer your question, Oxyrotten:

Quoted from the Recruit-A-Friend FAQ, page 2, which you can find here:

Q u o t e:
Do our characters (my character and my recruit's character) have to be same level in order to receive triple experience?

No, but you must be within 3 levels of one another and meeting all other triple experiences requisites in order for both characters to receive triple experience. If this level requirement is not met, only the lower level character will receive the bonus.
