User-Submitted Referral Code/Link Requests & Updates

Related Pages

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.

      • I believe it should be a unique code. I have share with my friend probably they shared Online. The referrer get 30 days brokerage free.

        • moomoo has been added.

          • @neil: I believe the format has changed or there is more than one now, my referral link is "https://j.futuau.com/XXXXXX" but its definitely for moomoo

            Could this be updated to allow this format also?

            • @keonelittle: That's been updated to accept both URLs.

  • Merged from Referral System on OZB how do I do it (never having done it before)

    Hi Guys

    I thought I'd start a thread as I have generated many random codes on OZB that would benefit others but have never been in the random rotation myself (giving me the chance to benefit from the random code generator). Plus I'm sure there are others on OZB in the same boat.

    I'm unsure how I use OZB system so I can be part of the automated referral link generated system for example I'm about to join Superloop NBN for ABB this month. I note there is a random generated referral (I will use this). That will entitle the referrer 10% off per month off their plan fee for 6 months. How do I get into that random generated rotation as a referrer after I join SL?

    I'm unsure how to do it? I can see it is slightly different for different businesses as Afterpay and Sportitude interest me also amongst many others.

    It looks like I go to my account settings referrals but then I'm a bit lost (below is for SL)

    How would SL look would it be like this?

    https://members.superloop.com/signup(/referral or blank)?referral_code={ReferralCode} **do you just put referral code in the { } and hit save?

    Thanks in advance

    REFERRAL LINKS

    • Please enter full referral link without the &plan=.

      • Thank you

        I read that maybe it will be crystal clear once I join SL later in the month

        (as I seen that) enter full referral link without the &plan=.

        but then it says - (/referral or blank)?referral_code={ReferralCode}

        once full referral link is entered is it just Save to be added to the auto random code rotation?

        • +1

          So long as you get the URL in the correct format, yep that's all you have to do.

          I've got one for Superloop and one for Belong Mobile from the random rotation from my codes that I can remember off the top of my head.

          They do work but there's so many of us in the thing it takes ages for your turn to come up, and then if the person clicks then changes their mind you get nothing of course (Superloop at least track attempts, so I know I've had two clicks from here but only one actually signed up and got me the discount)

  • Merged from amaysim - Problem with Refer a Friend Link

    Hi All.
    Is anyone having problem with generating Amaysim Refer a Friend link?
    Thanks in advance. 🙏

  • It looks like the superloop referral link format has changed, and I am unable to save it now as it fails validation. The new format should be:

    https://members.superloop.com/signup?referral_code={ReferralCode}

    • That's the old format. If you paste your referral code into a new browser window/Incognito Mode, you'll see that they've disabled all referrals in that format. Page will show:

      Feature disabled
      The feature you requested is currently disabled. Please try again later.

      • Oops, sorry. It was the most recent email they sent me with a referral URL (from last month). I haven't received any with the new URL yet.

  • ING has changed their system so now they do have codes. The format is like so: https://campaigns.ing.com.au/refer-apr50?code=HMX000

    I just received an email from ING saying "So if you've got friends yet to discover ING's great value, send them our way and you could bank a $50 reward - each!", so it sounds like it's the same system as the Ozbargain ING referral page says: "Until 31/5/2022, referrer and referee will each receive $50 for opening new Orange Everyday & Saving Maximiser Accounts ($1k deposit + 5 card transactions/month required). Do not participate in the referral system if you do not have a current $50 referral code."

    • ING has always had codes.

      It is private message only as it is the only way to prevent people's referral codes from being blacklisted by ING.

      If you use this offer in a manner that is not satisfactory to us or in line with the intent of the offer (such as sharing your referral code on the 'OzBargain' website or other similar websites, or advertising or marketing your referral code), we may refuse to pay the cash bonus (including in respect of any or all referrals made in relation to the offer). This includes conduct on your part which is designed to undermine the fair and intended operation of the offer.

  • Can we get a referral system for hosting on Airbnb?
    https://www.airbnb.com.au/r/xxx (appears to be first name, last initial, then 5 numbers). I think it fluctuates, but mine currently says the referrer gets $994 and the new host gets $55.

    • I just previous comments on page 1/2 about T&C issues relating to posting referral publicly. Can we get a PM system like other stores have?

    • AirBNB Host added. We've had AirBNB links run for years with no reports of issues. At this time, we'll leave it as a URL.

      • Thanks :)

      • Just an update to this. The amount is US$720. The conversion to AUD is what makes it fluctuate.

        • Updated AU price.

  • How do I add a referral link to a post (using the referral engine?)

    Every time I do this it confuses the heck out of me :(

    I don't see anything in the submission engine, prompting me to use the referral engine (yes, I know direct referrals are banned)

    • The grey referral box that you may see at the bottom of a deal post (e.g. Today's The Iconic Deal Post is automatically added. Nothing you need to do.

      • Ok what if it's not automatically adding, what am I doing wrong?

        • It means the store hasn't been set up for referrals (the topic of this thread). Is there a store in particular you are attempting to post?

          • @neil: It's definitely setup for referrals and I've used it before, what am I doing wrong? (powershop)

          • @neil: What is the trick to do, to make the referral engine appear?

            • @hamwhisperer: Where aren't you seeing it? I think it'll only show up once the deal is submitted/posted.

              • @puffinfresh: Aren't you meant to see the grey box?

                I'm not sure what URL to paste in my URL box, to ensure that it isn't either

                a, my referrer

                or

                b, not using the referral engine, so we / I miss out.

                • @hamwhisperer: I don't think the URL box ever uses the referral engine. If the referral is the deal, then just link to their home page, or maybe the login page like your last post.

                • @hamwhisperer:

                  Aren't you meant to see the grey box?

                  After you post the deal it appears.

                  I'm not sure what URL to paste in my URL box, to ensure that it isn't either

                  Same as your last Powershop post: https://secure.powershop.com.au/friends (Assuming you are posting a temporary change in referrals).

                  a, my referrer

                  No, Deal Posting Guidelines: Affiliate & Referral Links:

                  Referral links & codes are prohibited almost* everywhere on OzBargain; this includes all deal, forum and classified posts and comments. Referral links & codes can however be added to our automated referral system from My Account - Edit - Referrals. Do not solicit referrals by any means in your posts (eg asking users to PM you, drawing attention to the referral system or linking to your own deal posts if you are in the OzBargain referral system for that merchant).

                  ….

                  b, not using the referral engine, so we / I miss out.

                  It will automatically show just like you're previous post. No one will miss out.

                  • @neil: Perhaps it has multiple stores linked to it? Only the first store will have the referral grey box attached to it?

  • Can someone look at the "Moomoo" format options or reset as the format seems to have changed, this is what my referral text looks like gathered this morning (XXXXXX in place of personal code)

    "Hey, join me on moomoo, a professional trading platform. Join today using my referral link and you will get a free stock (up to 1 share of AAPL) & commission-free trading! via
    https://j.futuau.com/XXXXXX"

    • Updated as above

  • Do you guys accept paid survey providers as a merchant? (From their website: https://my.octopusgroup.com.au/help/invite)

    The way it works is simple, we will give you $1 per friend that registers (using your referral link), then give you a further $1 for each of the first 19 surveys they complete!
    That is how you can get up to $20 for each friend that registers.
    Our referral process, like everything we do, is an effort based model. This is a great way to create a passive income, even if you don't get selected for a survey maybe your referrals will and then you both win.
