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.

    Ugg Australia referral format

    I signed up for the Ugg referral program a few weeks ago and received my referral link in the following format:

    https://www.originalaustralianugg.com/?rfsn=5758083.5407371

    Which isn't being accepted by the ozbargain referral system validator.

    • Moderatorneil on 16/11/2021 - 16:26

      That seems to be a different site? That is Original Australian Ugg and only had billing in USD while being based in Australia.

      Ugg Australia is in our referral system.

      There is also Ugg Express

      Given the temporary nature of this offer and there are no deals, we won't be adding this at this time. Perhaps if there is a longer term offer then we may add it.

      • Ms Bargainer on 17/01/2022 - 15:38

    Hi Neil, would you please check the format of the Dashlane referral code? My code is in the right format/to the legit referral site (link is here: https://www.dashlane.com/en/as/Mrgh3LFF-mI9) but I can't seem to save it, as I keep getting an error message that it's not in the right format… I have a feeling that the dash in my code is the issue.

        Thanks. Have updated my PBK one.

        Regarding wiggle, i know its a PM system but but I meant was that it seem like wiggle do referrals anymore. I can't see where you can refer anyone on the wiggle site or maybe I'm blind.
        On the OZB page for linking our referrals, the wiggle one says " If you are a referrer, you can invite a referee by email here." The link supplied just sends you to recent orders/account page and doesn't seem to have anywhere to refer anyone.

    Banggood has changed their referrer link, and so I'm getting an error msg that the format is invalid. The referral page is https://www.banggood.com/referral.html
    The new format is: https://banggood.onelink.me/zMT7/47239d69
    Please update this.
    Thanks.

    Could you please add Petzyo pet food?

    Website: https://petzyo.com.au/
    Referral link format: https://petzyo.com.au/a/rewards/r/{referral code}

    Give your friends $20 off their 1st PETZYO food order and get 3000 PAWS for each successful referral.

    Every PAWS point is equivalent to $0.01

    Hi there! Just tried to add my Cult Beauty referral code to the page and it says it’s the wrong format. I’m guessing the format changed when Hut Group recently bought Cult Beauty, so this needs to be updated 👍😊

      What do the new links look like?
