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.

      The referral system for ING is already active on OzBargain. The only change that happened with the referral system today is that one of the moderators flushed the referral system of any referrals from previous ING referral campaigns.

      If you have been targeted for the new ING referral campaign, you are welcome to check the box on your OzBargain account for ING referrals.

  • ozchappy on 15/04/2024 - 22:13

    ING just sent me an email offering me and those who use my referral code $100 each, not $75 each as the referral page says on https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/165367/edit/referrals

    Is this universal? Or is this targeted for me?

    • WookieMonster on 15/04/2024 - 22:18

      Judging by the comments in the related deal, different people are being targeted with different referral amounts. Some people's referral bonus is $75, whereas some others (such as you) have a referral bonus at $100.

      I think the the OzBargain referral description should be updated to reflect the three different referral amounts that seem to be out there for the current campaign ($75, $100, $125).

        Ok thanks mate.

  • GenerallyClumsy on 16/04/2024 - 08:13

    I feel like the dm system is being used more often than it needs to. For example, the ING referral code is a static one.

      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 reward (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't seem to add Gemini Exchange Referral Link. I've made sure that the format is correct: "https://www.gemini.com/share/{MyReferralCode}". But I keep getting this error: "Error: Verification error - wrong format"

    • Moderatorneil on 16/04/2024 - 19:30

      The system was looking for the link without www. It now accepts both.

    Tried this from your Binance page.

    Referrer and referee receive $100 USDT cashback voucher each when referee deposits $50.

    Don’t seem to be able to deposit AU$50. If you try there’s options to deposit with bitcoin purchases but I’m not sure if you get FIAT or Bitcoin (n00b)? Doesn’t seem right. If that works would love to know but I’m not risking it without guidance from someone with more credibility than me.

    Also this is in the app:

          OK, we can now add Meta Link PC VR games. Those games have been added with [PC-VR] at the beginning.

          • pixxelpusher on 25/07/2024 - 00:17

            @neil: Great thanks! Doesn't look like the game Chronos is available anymore for referrals so you may want to remove that one.

        • Moderatorneil on 26/04/2024 - 23:57

          I've recommended your suggestion to be added. Basically, I'm thinking just append [PC-VR] to the title to differentiate.

    Not sure if PureProfile can be here or not (seems a bit strange that it isn't unless it's something i've missed) however they do have a referral program.

    Code: https://referral.pureprofile.com/referrer/<code>

    Instructions to get referral code: Once logged in, click on "Bring a Buddy" on the left hand pane and copy your referral link

    Referrers get: Up to $20 on PureProfile, they will get $2 for the first two surveys completed by the referee, then $1 for each one up to 18 surveys completed in the first 3 months.

    Referees get: Nothing I could see so far.

      As there have been no deals posted and the benefit is only for the referrer, we won't be adding it to our system at this time.

    Rollin insurance seems to have finally rolled out their new referral program. The link now has a "v2." prefix so its not accepted by the current format, please fix to accept new one. Not sure if old links still work without the v2 in there.

    Format:

    https://v2.quote.rollininsurance.com.au/?REFCODE=XXXXXX&RER=…

    The "XXXXXX" is replaced with actual user

    "Refer a friend or family member to ROLLiN’ Insurance.
    If they grab a policy and stay with us for 90 days straight, you’ll both receive $75*."

    It seems the referral link can only be obtained by email given by Rollin' Insurance. Here's a past enquiry before where I asked for mine because I couldn't find it:

    Hi ChesoRepresent,

    Thanks for your email and letting us know!

    Your referral link can normally be found within previous emails from us.

    If you're unable to locate this, we can check for you on our end, we just need you to reply here with the below details:

      • I Smell Pennies on 15/05/2024 - 08:05

        Thank you @neil

        However the referral information needs to be changed. I’m sure what you said is true however if the referrer has an annual subscription, then the referee also gets annual Pro Elite for free, not just 1 month.

        • Moderatorneil on 16/05/2024 - 17:09

          It's not very clear.

          1 Friend

          GET FREE UPGRADE TO ELITE - WORTH A$96 YEARLY!
          For you and up to five friends

          5 Friends

          GET ONE YEAR OF ELITE FOR FREE!

          I'd assume that

          • Refer 1 Friend, Get a 1 month upgrade to Elite Plan
          • Refer 2 Friends, Get 2 months upgrade to Elite Plan
          • Refer 3 Friends, Get 3 months upgrade to Elite Plan
          • Refer 4 Friends, Get 4 months upgrade to Elite Plan
          • Refer 5 Friends, Get 12 months upgrade to Elite Plan

          Otherwise there would be no difference to referring 1 or 5 friends?

          Pro Unlimited $4.99/month or $56.28 yearly
          Pro Elite $15.99/month or $95.88 yearly

          Maybe I'm reading it wrong. There isn't many details.

          • I Smell Pennies on 16/05/2024 - 17:18

            @neil: I have signed up and can confirm the following:

            I paid for 1 year Pro Unlimited and referred myself on a second account (on second account I bought 1 year Pro Unlimited).

            Result: both accounts upgraded to annual Pro Elite.

            And then if you refer 5 people in total, you yourself get Pro Elite for free (I assume they give another year for free).

            Maybe it depends on the referrer’s plan?

    Brooks Running is saying the referral is in the wrong format, so may need to be updated to reflect what the site gives us now. i.e. the format of the link I'm getting is https://brooksrunning.com.au/myaccount/register/{ReferralCode} but it looks like it's set to only accept https://www.brooksrunning.com.au/register/{ReferralCode}

      Updated.

    • Moderatorneil on 22/07/2024 - 16:14

      Can you check your referral? The new format seems to not be working while the old one still seems to work.

      • Buyer0fBargains on 23/07/2024 - 19:54

        The exact referral link I’m given from Brooks is https://brooksrunning.com.au/myaccount/register/BR16198826. Can you try clicking that and see what it does?

        • Moderatorneil on 24/07/2024 - 14:07

          If you click on it in incognito mode or logged out from Brooks, it shows:

          Oops! Looks like that page has run off!
          Use our menu links or search bar to get you on the right path,
          or check out our Shoe Finder to find your match.

          I've contacted them. Lets see if they fix it.

      Unlike a lot of the referrals on OzBargain, if you want to refer someone to ING through OzBargain, you only need to tick a box to allow private messages from potential referees. You only need to paste your referral code or referral link anywhere on OzBargain when someone messages you asking for it.

      The main reason for this system is that it is actually against the terms and conditions of ING referral campaigns to share them on OzBargain. If you click/tap on the URL you included in your comment and scroll through the fine print at the bottom, section (a) (Reward Eligibility Criteria) includes the following:

      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 reward (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.

      If the moderators allowed the usual system of giving out your referral code or referral link to anyone who clicked on the random referral button, someone from ING could go through the referral system, retrieve referral codes and quietly have them blacklisted. With a private messaging system, it would be easier for you to claim that you never shared your code on OzBargain.
