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.

        Are you able to update the name to just "iWallpaper" as that's what it's called in the app store? Thanks

        • Moderatorneil on 10/07/2023 - 23:01

          Sure, updated.

    • Moderatorneil on 12/07/2023 - 21:33

      Updated and notified all users in system.

  • stampella on 08/07/2023 - 12:45

    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.

        • Moderatorneil on 19/07/2023 - 10:18

          Just following up. The system was updated on 10/7.

    Tried signing up to Super-Rewards using a fellow Ozbargain referral link but its showing 404.

    After using somebody else's link to sign up, I noticed the URL which Ozbargain is asking for is incorrect.

    Below is my refferal link directly from Super-Rewards,

    https://super-rewards.com/signup?referralCode=XXXXXX

    Ozbargain refferal section is requiring a _ between referralCode

    Mind fixing so I can add my code and allow other OzBargainers to use each other's links

    Cheers!
    Edit: forgot to remove my actual code in URL

    Hi, can someone please advise where to actually find our referral links to enter into Nielsen HomeScan (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/nielsen.com). I’m a member and can’t find any info, section or link for referring people. And I can’t find the comment on this thread from whoever asked them to be added.

    • Gervais fanboy on 16/07/2023 - 17:31

      Either click on the randomly generated referral system
      (Currently 4 different referral links in it)

      If they don’t work for you, just find a post about Nielsen HomeScan and dm the op of those posts or any users that seem like they might be customers already.

      • Buyer0fBargains on 17/07/2023 - 07:25

        No I’m already a member, I want to add my link into the randomly generated system - but there is no link in the HomeScan system. I’m asking Mod or whoever left the original request to advise where to find the link.
        I don’t know how long ago it was added into OzBargain but I can find no mention of the referral program within my HomeScan app

    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.
