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.

        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

        • Moderatorneil on 08/02/2024 - 12:44

          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).

  • bienvenu on 07/02/2024 - 12:12

    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?

    • toniyellow on 07/02/2024 - 14:13

      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…

    • Moderatorneil on 07/02/2024 - 17:36

      Reflections Holiday Parks added.

      Reflections Holiday Parks is now disabled as there are no referrers in the system.

  • DoctorCalculon on 09/02/2024 - 12:13

    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?

    • Moderatorneil on 11/02/2024 - 22:04

      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.

    • Moderatorscrimshaw on 12/02/2024 - 12:14

      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

    • Moderatorneil on 13/02/2024 - 10:34

    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.

    • Moderatorneil on 14/02/2024 - 13:40

      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.

    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.

    • bauser99 on 16/02/2024 - 12:25

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

        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.

    • Moderatorneil on 16/02/2024 - 13:56

    Hi all, just got a notice my 'Cake Defi' referral expired and went about reentering, but a while ago 'Cake Defi' rebranded as 'Bake'

    https://bake.io/

    They come up as Bake on a google search but it also shows Cake Defi in the title of search results.

    Anyway the referral link now shows as https://bake.io/?ref={referral code}

    Can we get the enter box under referral to accept new format please.

      Are we allowed to make new post for this?

      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.

    Has something changed with the meta quest app referrals recently, the referral links seem to be coming up as invalid. Perhaps you now need to own the app before you can refer or something? Fairly sure that previously you could just find the app code number and insert it into a referral link so that you could refer apps that you don't currently own?

    • toniyellow on 07/03/2024 - 12:44

      when i tested this with another ozbargainer in march 2023, if you faked a link it could initially appear ok, but then if someone tried to accept to use it there was an error - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/13554274/redir

      were you actually receiving money for apps you didn't own?

      • Gravy on 10/03/2024 - 08:08

        Ah… I see, so it never really worked. No I have never received a credit for an app I didnt own, actually I seem to have only had one referral accepted through the Ozbargain app referrer, and that one has not resulted in a credit as yet (I think it was only a recent one).

        I own a bunch of apps but didn't actually realise you weren't meant to tick the referrer box for apps you don't own, I'll have to go back and remove those.

    • Moderatorneil on 07/03/2024 - 23:16

      Perhaps you now need to own the app before you can refer or something? Fairly sure that previously you could just find the app code number and insert it into a referral link so that you could refer apps that you don't currently own?

      It never worked and no one should be checking games that they don't own. We're developing something that will remove any of these invalid links.

      • Gravy on 10/03/2024 - 08:09

        Ah… seems I overlooked that. I'll go back and uncheck apps I don't own.

      Updated.

      I am not able to post the format here

      As per OP.

      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.

    Hi team shopback refer link has changed

    • Moderatorneil on 08/03/2024 - 22:53

      Doesn't look like it has changed but you need to read the instruction:

      2 Methods:

      • Open the ShopBack app to obtain your referral code. Manually type in the Referral Code you see on screen in the app (6 characters).

      Do not use the code on the app.shopback.com URL as that code changes and is not your actual referral code.

    Merged from Referral reward change

    No more 5000 everyday pts. You get a selection of free food for referring. I got free chocolate or soda. You get it with your next box so you have to order again so not worth it
