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.

    • itsfree on 02/12/2020 - 12:48

      When I click the referral links, it shows a 404. And I couldn't find a referral link button in my account page. Looks like they've killed it?

      • Moderatorneil on 03/12/2020 - 11:27

        Weird, can't find it in account as well. I've disabled referrals for now.

      • Sambuca on 10/12/2020 - 17:12

        Looks like they've updated their website and removed referral's, cant see it anywhere?!

  • OnlyifMyPrice on 28/11/2020 - 13:16

    Could you please check the start of the link for the referral code you have saved in your referral code list for AirBnB? I just went to add my referral code and noted the first part of the link is different to what you have. This is what I got when generating the code share to send via email, minus the section of the link with my personal referral code:

    Hey,
    If you sign up for Airbnb with my link, you'll get up to $67 off a qualifying booking.
    Give it a try! Just click the link or paste the address in your browser.

    https://abnb.me/e/

    Thanks

    • Moderatorneil on 30/11/2020 - 19:31

      If you go to the website, the format is

      airbnb.com.au/c/...

      Are you using the app?

  • alexshel on 29/11/2020 - 08:46

    Pls add referral system for shein.com

    https://referme.to/DKmaD1 which redirects to https://m.shein.com/au/refer-a-friend/friend?bp_l=false&bp_p…

    Where 3L2NJ77 is the referral code

    • Moderatorneil on 01/12/2020 - 12:15

      So referee gets a code for 10% off, what does the referrer get?

  • matn on 29/11/2020 - 09:38

    Hello,

    Could we have Interactive Brokers added?

    Referral program: Get $200 for every friend that opens an account while they receive free IBKR stock.
    Link format: https://ibkr.com/referral/martin614 (last part is unique)
    Where to find the link: Account Settings -> Refer a Friend

    Thank you

    • Moderatorneil on 01/12/2020 - 12:26

      Added. That is a very complicated referral system for the referee looking at the T&Cs. Is it just a straight $200 reward for the referrer or something more detailed?

      • matn on 02/12/2020 - 09:42

        Thank you! Indeed. For referee it actually says: $1 worth of (IBKR) Shares granted for each $100 in Deposit Value;
        then for referrer: You will be paid a flat fee Payout of $200 per eligible referral

        • Moderatorneil on 02/12/2020 - 19:02

          Alright thanks for confirming.

  • toobzy on 30/11/2020 - 23:50

  • sumukh on 04/12/2020 - 11:15

    Hi Mods,

    Can we add the referal code for Origin Spike?

    Referral Link: https://m.origin.com.au/spike/r?n=SUMUKH&i=11007024

    the part after n= seems to be unique.

    Benefits: Get $10 in Spike points for every friend that signs up to Origin Spike. Collect and redeem your bonus points after they beat their forecast in a SpikeHour. Plus, they’ll get $10 of Spike points when they do too.

    Found in "Invite Friends" heading in top banner

    Just a heads up that Airbnb quietly stopped crediting referrers in their 'refer a friend' scheme a few months back. They have added an FAQ on the invite page which states "For referrals made after 1 Oct 2020, Airbnb doesn't offer travel credit for referrals." It's not an obvious spot, as other sections of the website haven't been updated.

    • Moderatorneil on 09/12/2020 - 12:32

      Interesting. Have updated.

  • Koipanda on 08/12/2020 - 23:44

        Just this URL that appears in the automated PM:

        This is an automated private message requesting referral for GloBird Energy. Please reply with your referral information.

    Merged from Uber No Longer Offering Personal Invite Codes

    Hi all,

    As of June this year Uber no longer have personal invite codes. I'm sure this has been brought up somewhere on OzB but I couldn't find any forum referring to it. Thought it was worth mentioning as there's still the option to add your own personal Uber code here in OzB on the Referral Page (interestingly the page that the OzB Referrals section refers to on Uber is still live…).

    https://help.uber.com/riders/article/what-happened-to-my-per…

    Apologies in advance if this has already been discussed.

    • Moderatorneil on 29/12/2020 - 11:28

      Thanks. Uber has now been disabled pending updates.

  • LustStarrr on 18/12/2020 - 17:58

    Hi OzBargainites,

    Would it be possible to add the physical postcard-sending app Postando to OzBargain’s referrals/affiliates link list, please? I originally discovered it via OzBargain - this deal, specifically - & have only used it to send that free card, but I was really satisfied with the app, & with the card itself, as was the recipient. I’d love to send more, but alas, I am poor… however, I recently saw this - they now offer a similar deal (a free postcard on signup) when new users sign up using an existing user’s referral code or link, & once the new user sends their card, the existing user is given a free card to send too. I’d love the chance to sign up some new users & send some more cards, as I’m sure other OzBargain users would too.

    Cheers!

    • Moderatorneil on 29/12/2020 - 16:28

      Postando has been added.

      • Moderatorneil on 31/07/2021 - 00:00

    • alexshel on 22/12/2020 - 18:11

      A weird moderator unpublished my comment with an app screenshot proving the format of the referral code. File is still remains uploaded to files.ozbargain.com.au

      If anyone interested, please use this path - /upload/155317/85608/screenshot_20201222-151934.jpg

      The referral code is so much burried - the chance for someone to find it on the internet or ozbargain portal is close to 0%

        Thank you.

  • tomclancy on 22/12/2020 - 21:58

    VentraIP have changed their format. Now after logging in to the VIP page you go into 'My Profile' and then 'Referrals' and then 'Refer a Friend' (sorry, no specific links to these pages as they have account numbers at the end of the link). This will bring up a pop-up where you can copy the referral link, in the format:

    https://getonline.vip/xxxxxxxx

    The reward is the same ($50 Mastercard)

    • Moderatorscrimshaw on 22/12/2020 - 22:04

      Is your code still 8 characters long, with case-sensitive alphanumeric characters?

      • tomclancy on 22/12/2020 - 22:22

        Yes, however it is a new code, different to the old one. So will need to flush the referral system here too

  • SmartCardCo on 26/12/2020 - 11:47

    Bonus points for AmEx explorer has gone up to 150k points (120k first year, 30k next year) instead of the featured 60k points. Also, the referrer gets 40k or 60k, depending on their tenure with AmEx (not a flat 60k as per the OzBargain referral section).

    My Kogan referral expired today - I logged into Kogan to update the referral link but I couldn't find it anywhere. It's not under Account, Credits.
    Does anyone know where to find the referral link? Or do they no longer offer it?

    • zzyss on 02/01/2021 - 12:07

      I came here to ask/report the exact same thing.

      Kogan still has their referral page up, not that that in itself means anything, since the instructions aren't valid any more:
      https://www.kogan.com/au/refer-a-friend

      They could've just forgotten to remove the page.
