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 love KegLand! Shop through my link to get a reward http://rwrd.io/acp8ktx?s

    E.g. My link is as above, http://rwrd.io/acp8ktx

    The link from the website takes the form http://rwrd.io/<unique_code>?<parameter_for_sharing_medium>

    Redirects to https://www.kegland.com.au/?sref_id=<unique_code>&utm_medium…

    Could it please be added? 😊

  • Gav on 17/06/2023 - 19:54

    Please update Vinomofo as links no longer work. Instead the referrer needs the referree's email address, which is then used to email a code. Sample email:

    Your good friend <referrer> just invited you to join the bestwine site on the planet, Vinomofo! Plus, they scored you a cool $25 credit as a bonus when you sign up. This is the coupon code you can use at checkout:

    <code>

    <referrer> will also get $25 credit when you join, so it’s a win-win for everyone!

    • Moderatorneil on 19/06/2023 - 17:14

      OK, changed to PM.

      • Gav on 24/06/2023 - 12:18

        Hi @neil, instructions still look like they need updating. It says "Please enter full referral link.". Should be telling referee to send email address to referrer. Thanks.

    Hi,

    Can we please update HelloFresh. The old pattern still works, but i had to reenter my code and when I got it from HelloFresh it was in the new format below:
    https://www.hellofresh.com.au/pages/inspiration-delivered?c=…

    Thanks!

    FYI - old format which I tested manually seems to still work: https://www.hellofresh.com.au/pages/raf_lp11?c=FIH-M9QLY421S…

        Cheers! Sorry missed that.

        FYI - For me both my links above seem to give the same deal. $115 off the first box, then $20, $20, $15.

        • Moderatorneil on 24/06/2023 - 00:07

          OK, I've gone through a bunch of links with both formats and they both have the range of $115-$125 off the 1st box max. Needed to change the default person/meal selection to see it. Have shut off the 2nd system. The 1st system now accepts both.

  • crayonnn on 21/06/2023 - 18:27

    Keen to have The Whisky List’s “Whisky Lovers Rewards Program” added to the referral system.

    The rewards program is a club they offer for a yearly fee which gives members free delivery on all purchases, access to ballots for rare whiskies, access to cask-sharing and special members-only sales, among other things. The club is not always open to new members, but it currently is and should be open more and more going forward based on what I’ve heard.

    The person referring gets dollars in their “whisky wallet” or potentially free whisky depending on the month and how many referrals. The person being referred gets either a discounted membership fee, or extra bonus dollars in their “whisky wallet”.

    The website is The Whisky List: https://thewhiskylist.com.au/

    And referral links follow the following format:

    https://wsky.me/<your unique identifier>

    Please let me know if you need more info

    Hello, hoping to please get Lyka pet food subscription service added to referrals.

    Sign up is via https://lyka.com.au/join/xxxxxx which can be obtained via the Refer A Friend section in account settings.

    Referee gets 20% off their first two deliveries plus free treats.

    It doesn’t say what referrers get in return, I’m guessing it’s credits towards their next delivery.

    Thank you 🙏🏻

    Energy Locals
    Energy Locals does provide a referral URL that works as intended.
    The format currently on OzB forces the user to manually fill the referrer field, while the format below prefills it while providing the quote.

    The format is https://join.energylocals.com.au/?referralCode=XXXXXXX

    Thanks!

    • Moderatorscotty on 08/07/2023 - 14:09

      The current Energy Locals referral uses a 7-digit coupon code. Are you saying that replacing XXXXXXX in the URL with the current 7-digit code would still work?

      • stampella on 08/07/2023 - 14:16

        Yes. Replacing the XXXXXXX in the URL with the "coupon" would work and prefill during the account creation (just after inserting the address for the quote and picking the plan).

        More context:
        https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/139622?page=41#comment-133…

        There was a referral system with link previously, but that didn't work.
        Energy Locals now seems to provide a proper working URL format (re-tested it this morning and it worked).

        To be clear, the "coupon" is the account number for each user/referrer. It should be possible to keep those and just append that number at the end of the URL.

    Below is my refferal link directly from Super-Rewards,

    Ozbargain refferal section is requiring a _ between referralCode

    Pretty sure THR1VE referral is no more.

    They have moved to a new website, new URL and the existing referral link seems broken. Can probably be switched off for now.

    Chat is useless. I asked where I can find my referral link and they said it will come from the referee. I told them I am the referee, where do I find my link? And they told me to check my email/junk filter. They are just guessing and totally clueless.

    Would you please update the Amaysim referral box text – not every plan qualifies for referral:

    Your friend must sign up to either an UNLIMITED mobile plan or AS YOU GO, and begin using their amaysim service

      The link you provided is Error 404 and is malformed, it doesn't look like what other people are entering into our database

      Please go to Refer a Friend page. and see if you can obtain a link that looks like this

      https://www.worldremit.com/en/refer-a-friend/invited?code=REFERRANDOMSTRING

      ^ This will be what the system will accept.

        I double checked it and that is definitely my link format. I’m a new user to worldremit so maybe they changed the format recently

          I've had multiple mods click your url but it leads to a 404 Page not found, not to a signup link.

          You might want to contact worldremit and find out what out why your account produces an invalid referral link.
