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.

      • Sorry I’ve tried to copy and paste my referral link

        refer.zumba.com/rita-1806774

        But it doesn’t work?

        Even if I try to add https:// in front of it or just try pasting in the end referral code

        Thanks

        • That's a different format from what you wrote in the original comment. Can you confirm which one it is?

          • @neil: Apologies, I must have submitted it incorrectly to you

            It is in the format of the link I gave in my last post.

  • Regarding Swagbucks link format.

    I’m getting an error saying the link is the wrong format.

    I’ve tried to share the link from the mobile app, which is the following format - this one appears to use a 4 digit code
    https://sbmobile.page.link/XXxx

    Or the link from the website, which is the following format - this one had my username in the link.
    https://www.swagbucks.com/profile/{RefererUsername}?rp=1

    I’m on mobile, so I can’t see the entirety of the format that Ozbargain is asking me to provide, but what I can see matches neither of the above:
    https://www.swagbucks.com/p/register?rb={ReferralCode}&

    I presume there is more after the & because I tried to manually match this format and still got the error.

    Can this please be updated, or if there’s somewhere I should be able to find a link that matches the requested format, please let me know because it’s not coming up as one of the options under “Refer & Earn” from either mobile or web version.

    Thanks.

    • Updated.

  • Super Rewards.

    Now known as Grow My Money (https://growmymoney.com.au/)

    It now also has a phone app, and this is where the referral code is now located. I couldn’t find it anywhere on the web version and the existing link from Ozbargain to the Refer a Friend page is now a broken link.

    In the App, there’s a menu item “Share to Friends” which then allows you to access the referral code in the following format

    “ https://apps.apple.com/au/app/super-rewards/id{xxxxxxxxxx}”

    They do have a Google App Store version of the app too, so it is strange that it seems it only gives me the Apple Store link from my app (I’m on iPhone).
    I’m not sure if android users are also limited to only sharing a link to the android version?

    Not sure if you might be able to perhaps just use the id number from the end of the link and have it apply to either apple or google App Store depending on the person who clicks it?

    • What's the referral from a browser look like?

      Can someone please help fixing link for ExpressVPN, throws an error when copy past from referral website link.

      Just so I'm clear, are you saying that the links ExpressVPN are generating for referrers are different from what's in our system?

      • Well, yes and no… The link that was generated was in my earlier comment, it's just that the system isn't accepting it even if it's in the right format

        • I've updated for it to accept both. Note one URL has refer-a-friend (what you posted) and the other has refer-friend (whats in our system).

  • MEXC referral not letting me post link

    https://www.mexc.com/register?inviteCode=1zyD9

    • Updated.

  • I'm told I had 17 referral with Total Tools (by the notification that it expired), but none of them ended up tracking. How is this meant to work?

    • It means 17 people clicked your link. Out of boredom, curiosity, to read the fine print, etc. Either none of them went any further and signed up, or they did sign up but didn't meet whatever criteria the store has - minimum spend of $X, must be a new customer or whatever

      For me its been a real insight into how hard it must be to turn an ad into a sale, because I so so rarely get anything from referral links, and i have quite a few in here. So many people with presumably some interest click and then do nothing.

      But some of them work out and thats better than nothing, its not like I have anywhere else to post them.

  • Merged from Referral program - add to OzB referral system

    I got an email saying there is a $25 referral bonus for people signing up. The referrer and referee both get $25.

    https://reflectionsholidayparks.com.au/rewards

    How do I get this referral added to the OzBargain referral system.

    The referral links are in the form:
    https://reflectionsholidayparks.com.au/rewards/?referring_me…

  • Does anyone here know where I can get the referral code from my Total Tools account?
    Admittedly, I haven't used my online TT account for over a year.

  • Hey all,

    Could we please consider adding Alpaka Gear - alpakagear.com referral program ( https://alpakagear.com/pages/rewards-1 ).


    Give 20%, Get 20%
    Give your friends 20% off on their first order of $50+ and get 20% off for each successful referral.

    https://alpakagear.com/a/rewards/r/Lnqvt8Jk

    Thanks! :)

    • ALPAKA added.

  • The system has changed for Luno.com. People can get $75 in BTC depending on whose code they use and the reward levels. My code for instance gives $75 but others give $35 or $50. See here https://www.luno.com/help/en/articles/410257731778153

    You're invited!

    1. Sign up with my invite link
    2. Deposit and buy $199 in any crypto (Luno exchange not included)

    • Updated.

  • Could we please add Pureprofile - online survey company

    https://my.pureprofile.com/referrals

    Example referral link: https://referral.pureprofile.com/referrer/TnpZME9UVXpNalU1Tl…

    Bring-a-Buddy and earn $20. Yes, $20!
    Want to be part of the best rewards program on the planet?
    Good friends are hard to come by! So, when you introduce a new pal to Pureprofile we’ll show you how much we appreciate it by rewarding you with up to $20 for each eligible new member you bring.

    How’s that for mates rates? There’s no delay, you can start earning today!

    Here’s how it works:
    You will be paid $2 for every friend you bring to Pureprofile, after they have registered with a verified email address and completed 2 paid surveys (this can include the Welcome survey but unfortunately doesn't include Partner surveys yet).

    Then …
    For every additional paid survey your friend completes you will get another $1. This applies to a maximum of 18 surveys and ends once your friend has been a member for 3 months. (Here’s the small print: The rewards do not apply on screen-outs, quota fulls, if the survey is not completed for any reason or on partner surveys.)

    What’s the best bit? You can bring as many buddies as you want! More friends means more cash - so start spreading the Pureprofile word!

    You help us, and we’ll help you. Isn’t that what friends are for?

    • Survey sites like Pureprofile, Octopus Group, Purkle etc. are not permitted on Ozbargain and there are no deals for them, so we won't be adding it, sorry.

  • Merged from Referral Code for Dymocks Tutoring

    For each new student that uses your personal referral code to enrol, you will save $100 on enrolment for next term*! Even better, your friend gets a 20% discount when they use your referral code which is below.

    Your referral code: 202859

  • Gameology referral link to their page from OZbargain appears to be broken - directed here when I click on the OZB referal https://www.gameology.com.au/checkouts?utm_medium=sms&utm_ca…

    Something went wrong.

    What happened?
    404 Not Found
    What can I do?

    • All of the referral links for this store are url shorteners (http://rwrd.io/), so if the redirects are not working properly Gameology themselves need to be contacted to fix them

    • In the meantime, Gameology has been disabled pending any fix.

  • ok thanks for checking.

  • Hi,
    Neuron mobility - I think the current field is limited to 8 characters, but my referral code has 10.
    Thanks

    • Updated to accept 8-10 characters.

      • Thanks!

  • The eToro referral setup is missing the field to add your code/URL. Just has the links and a tick box for Private msgs, but nowhere to actually put the link.

    • etoro has always had a direct referral link. The issue is they have been asking for the details of the referrer in some cases reported by some users.

      You need to click the box that says:

      ☑ Allow referees to contact me via Private Message.

  • Sorry if already mentioned - the Accor plus referral seems to no longer be available

    • Agreed with this.

  • Merged from Accor Plus Refer a Friend Instruction Link Doesn't Work

    Hi

    I am an Accor Plus member.

    The instruction link provided by OzBargain takes you to https://www.accorplus.com/au/one-million-bonus-points/referr…

    That page when clicked comes up:

    Error 404
    Page not found
    Sorry the page you are looking for doesn’t exist or has been moved.

    I've searched Accor Plus' website and there's no longer any reference to referring people.

    Suspect the referral program no longer exists.

    • Indeed it looks like Accor Plus referral program has gone MIA and should be removed :(

      • As above, it's been removed.

  • Mojo Power was wound up by court order in June 2023 and no longer trading (see https://www.grantthornton.com.au/creditors_information/Mojo-…). It should be removed from Ozbargain referrals.

    • Mojo Power disabled.

    Just noticed refer a friend section for Woolworths everyday extra app:
    You'll both be rewarded when your friend makes their first subscription payment
    You'll both collect 1500 Everyday Rewards points

    Link provided when I clicked invite friends was as follows:

    https://rewards.app.link/ with a 11 digit code following the final slash

    • +1

      Yes please! This is the link to their website https://www.woolworthsrewards.com.au/extra/refer-a-friend.ht…

      • I have the same thing. I noticed they have a limit of 20 referrals per user per month - that's pretty ambitious.

        The referral code appears to only be letters, not alphanumeric. 1,500 points are added 7 business days after the referee pays their subscription fee.

  • Note the Eva Mattresses referral benefit is no longer "$125" for referee. It's now only $50 for an Eva mattress or Everyday Sofa.

    • Updated.

  • Need some guidance, please.
    I've rec'd the OzBargain notification that my GloBird referral has expired. I have the new referral code but seem to be stuck in a look to update it.
    I've gone to settings > referrals > Globird but I don't see any option to update my referral code.
    This is no doubt user-error but I'm not sure what steps to take.

    Please advise.

    • You need to click the box that says:

      ☑ Allow referees to contact me via Private Message.

  • Dear mod,

    I have a Uber driver referral code that the system won't let me put in, maybe the format has changed ?
    Also mine is $500 for 30 deliveries which is more than the $300 for 40 deliveries currently on ozbargin.

    my code / example format:

    https://www.uber.com/signup/drive/deliver/?invite_code=3xyre…

    My referral code (as copied from website then redacted) is:
    https://ynab.com/referral/?ref=XX-XXXXXXXXXXXXX

    but getting error message when trying to add. I'm guessing that it doesn't like the hyphen (-)

    • The issue was our system was looking for www.ynab.com instead of just ynab.com. System will now accept both links.

  • YNAB Referral format error:

    My referral code has 2 alphanumerics then a hyphen (-) then an additional 13 alphanumerics. But when I try to enter it, I'm getting error message when trying to add. I'm guessing that it doesn't like the hyphen (-)

      Deal Posting Guidelines:

      Can I post a deal for the Referral offer itself?

      If the retailer offers a referral program, you may post it as a deal (e.g. signup to ABC site via referral code and earn $10 credit) if all of the following conditions are met:
      The referee also earns a benefit (e.g. credit, discount, etc.).
      The current offer has NOT been posted as a deal previously.
      It is a limited time referral offer for the referee or it is a new addition to the OzBargain referral system (added less than 7 days ago).

      Looking through the T&Cs and what you've provided me, it seems like this a permanent offer (not a limited time offer), thus it doesn't qualify to be posted as a deal.
