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.

    Benefit: Referee gets $15 on first order and referrer gets $15. (Normally a new user can get $5 off)

    Hello, was Hey You previously on this list? I thought it would be there but can't seem to find it.
    Sorry if this has already been answered.

    • Moderatorneil on 30/08/2021 - 14:49

      It was disabled in February 2020 as they were no longer running their referral program. I've now checked on the app and it's back again. Have now reactivated it.

    Getting an error message when trying to add referral link for Normcore Coffee. I am copying it verbatim from their website. Please check.

      That should be fixed now.

    Hello, I saw this deal for ING and noticed that the referral box is still active on OzBargain. However, the latest referral promotion ended on 31 July 2021, so I think referrals should be disabled and all referral codes should be flushed from the OzBargain system, as I don’t want people to be mislead into believing they can be referred via OzBargain and get $100 for signing up.

    • Moderatorneil on 03/09/2021 - 15:38

      No worries. Have disabled ING referrals until they start the program up again.

    • Moderatorneil on 04/09/2021 - 00:49

      I've tried to put in a test order and Adore Beauty doesn't seem to work. What is curious is that I can see people who have put their codes in within the last few weeks. 🤷‍♂️ Have disabled pending any new info.

      Oporto still seems to work and people are still putting in their codes every 30 days. May just leave this one for now.

      That's a driver referral code, not a customer referral code.

      From your link:

      Do 285 deliveries by 11/06 for a $400 referral bonus!

      • Lisamarie90 on 07/09/2021 - 18:55

        Ahh I see. So we can’t share driver referral codes on here?

        • Moderatorneil on 08/09/2021 - 11:19

          Driver referrals have now been added. Doordash

  • Lisamarie90 on 07/09/2021 - 16:09

    Has there been a change? When I go into my app, there is an option to ‘refer friends, earn $600’ under the account tab. When I copy my link, I get the link I posted above.

    New program suggestion:
    Lifepay - referrer receives $10 credit upon referee sign-up.

    Website:

        Well spotted Neil - I've reached out to their rep for comment, as they're still accepting referrals.

  • treekangagaroo on 09/09/2021 - 18:59

    Hey, How to check if any one used your referral link ?

    • Moderatorneil on 10/09/2021 - 00:14

      If you go to My Account - Edit - Referrals, each store will have a Last Updated: (Date). If your link has been clicked you'll see Last Click: (Date/Time) or code has been showed Last Shown: (Date/Time).

      I see you have put your referral codes in for 2 stores however you are competing against 1000+ others for each store so likely will get very little clicks. I have one in the same store and I have 1 click. Oh well.

    Hi, can we add the new offering from Stake?
    It’s different to the normal referral code.

    Hi my superloop referral code cannot be added.

    It wont let me put in (Error: Verification error - invalid URL link). I tried just the code, copied the url in the example and added my code, with and without 'plan=', many variations etc.

    This is what they give you from the customer portal,
    http://members.superloop.com/signup?referral_code=AKOJXR is what they give me

    Thanks

    • Moderatorneil on 15/09/2021 - 17:20

      The link I get, as I'm also with Superloop is https not http. The portal is definitely giving you an http link?

      • cyruslol on 15/09/2021 - 21:34

        hi i have tried https://members.superloop.com/signup?referral_code=AKOJXR but it still says Error: Verification error - invalid URL link

        • Moderatorneil on 18/09/2021 - 18:36

          The template and my code is:

          signup/referral?referral_code=code

          The link you have pasted is:

          signup?referral_code=code

          So just to confirm what is the link you are getting from the Superloop Portal?

          • cyruslol on 19/09/2021 - 08:59

            @neil: hi i have added ‘ referral?’ in between the link and it worked, thanks

            • Moderatorneil on 19/09/2021 - 23:05

Both referrer and referee get 10% off. Could this be added in please? The individual referral code is in the email they send you after your purchase.

    Referral link format is http://beerco.refr.cc/<yourreferralcode>

    Hi there, I’d like to request that the Send app is added to the referral system. The referral system provides $10 off for the referee, and $10 credit for the referrer. It appears the min spend is $11 even though I’ve seen Send advertise it as $10, which makes me think the min spend is $10 plus GST. I had to chuck some bananas in my cart to bump it up to $11 before the referral bonus applied successfully.

    Send’s website can be found here: https://sendapp.com.au/

    As far as I know, there is no referral link, only a coupon code that you enter in the app.

    My referral code is ABHJ73, in case it’s useful for testing. Please feel free to remove this from my comment if this is not allowed.

    Once a user has placed an order, their referral code can be found in the app by clicking the bottom right “Profile” icon, and then “Earn $10”.

    Once this is set up I’d like to create an Ozbargain deal post about the referral program. However I’m not sure how to add the randomiser to the post. I’d really appreciate your help with it.
