Original Post

This morning we pushed out a new user-submitted referral changes. This is an update to the previous attempt in 2012. Problem with the previous one is that it's difficult to add new stores that support referral benefits, and the feature ended up only supporting GreenManGaming and not being used much by our users here. What happened afterwards were wiki pages created for each online shop. Yes it's an interesting use of the wiki pages, but

  • Not a good idea to let any member to be able to edit everyone's code.
  • Free-form might not be the most ideal format, and hard to police everyone to edit in the same format.
  • The list is ordered rather than randomised.

What we have done now is having a single place for you to put in all your referral codes. Go to your Settings page and click on the referrals tab. You should be presented with a list of "stores" that we currently have referral support. For the comprehensive list of stores / products supported, please go to the referral wiki page.

New ones should be easily added as well if the method of referral is via a referral link (i.e. unique URL per referrer). Feel free to submit new ones in the comments. I need

  • The URL format for the referral link
  • Instructions to get the referral link
  • Benefit for the referrers and referees.

Another reminder that Affiliate Links and Referral Links are different and we do not allow affiliate links here on OzBargain.

Once a referral system has been set up for that domain, for every deal posted to that domain, a grey box will appear below the content and above the Share buttons containing a randomised referral link AND OP's referral link (if OP has submitted one for that domain and the deal has hit the front page vote minimum - updated 9/5/16). The benefits for the referrers and referees are also shown so people know what they (and you) are getting. For example this Amaysim offer I submitted. In this case including your own referral link and link to wiki becomes redundant.

Yes this is still in beta and needs improvement. Some potential issues / possible improvements:

  • Since you do not really need to put referral link in your content, you can submit deals with your link in the referral box without the deal being marked as "referral post". This might lead to abuse of people posting excessive deals from the stores offering referral. I shall look at ways to prevent it. I don't want to mark them as referral post at the moment because previously submitter can pick and choose whether to include his/her referral link. Now it's always included. 9/5/16 Update: Your deal must hit the front page vote minimum (currently 30) to show. This was previously 5, before being changed to the front page vote minimum.

  • Referral-code / coupon-code type referrals are not yet supported. For example Budget Direct, Rabobank, etc. We can potentially generate a popup containing the code when people click on "OP" or "random".

  • A good idea to let people pick and choose? For example some people might not want to use OP's referral link, not a random one either but from a list of friends.

So here it is. Give it a try guys! I will start removing some of the wiki pages later today. Meanwhile, please leave feedback in the comments.

If your comment is automatically unpublished due to the referral link, do not worry, moderators can still see it and will republish it before replying.

          It shows up in the drop down if you type yak in the drop down or search Yak Pay. Not showing for you?

    Just wanted to add these instructions for Beam (scooters), as referral offers appear to be disabled in my area.

    From here: https://support.ridebeam.com/en/articles/6795964-how-to-clai…

    How to refer someone to Beam
    To refer a friend or family, you will first need to find your referral code to share.

    Simply open the Beam app.

    Navigate to "Menu"

    Then select "Refer a friend" to find your referral code to share.

    Your friend or family will receive their part of the Beam credits when they claim the code, and you will only receive yours after they have completed their first trip.

    If the "Refer a friend" option is not available in the "Menu", this means the referral program is not be available (sic) in your area.

    It seems it is not possible to add a referral code for the Velocity Platinum AMEX. (example deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/875321#comment-16039055)

    It should be 20k for referrer, 60k for referee

        Thanks Neil. I’ve added my referral using the link provided, but I don’t see Radisson in the alphabetical listing on the main page.

        • Moderatorneil on 16/12/2024 - 06:56

          I believe the list is cached but seems it hasn't updated yet. Will give it a little longer and investigate.

    Are you able to add Queensland Country Health Fund - Refer a Friend, $100 gift card for single cover and $200 for couple or family cover.

    https://www.queenslandcountry.health/refer?utm_medium=QCCU04…

    Best way for this would probably be via PM. Maybe also a disclaimer there's no referee reward (would have to be a discussion for a fair split via PM)

    Hi Virgin Voyages have upgraded their ‘Refer a Sailor’ program.

    From their communications;
    REFER A SAILOR PROGRAM

    Give $150 USD, get $150 USD.
    It’s so easy!

    When you refer a friend who has never been on a Virgin Voyage, you’ll each get $150 USD in premium drinks — a free Bar Tab, on us — to raise a glass (or 2 or 10!) during your next adventure.

    Also the referral code link has changed. New format is https://share.virginvoyages.com/referral

    Thanks

    • Murkie on 20/12/2024 - 16:00

      Oh didn’t realise that the link would actually link! The referral section would be a unique number for each referral.

      • Moderatorneil on 22/12/2024 - 06:55

        Can you post the full referral link as I just want to be accurate in the change?

        • Murkie on 22/12/2024 - 07:45

          Hi Neil

          Here it is

          https://share.virginvoyages.com/oabo3!51ba109529!a

          Seems to be dynamic each time, is that usually the case?

          When I look at it on the web it ends with the /oabo3, but when I copy and paste the end bit changes each time. Sorry I’m new to all this and probably not getting the terminology correct.

          Thanks and happy Christmas!

          • Moderatorneil on 22/12/2024 - 20:35

            @Murkie: Updated. Not sure why it would be different each time. Guess we'll see if later on if all the links work.
