SelfWealth OzBargain Referral Link No Longer Working?

Has anyone else been able to get free SelfWealth trades through entering your referral link in Ozbargain? I added my referral code here back in April and within a few weeks I had 10 free trades… but I've not had any since. This is despite Ozbargain showing that people are actively clicking on my referral link, in fact the last time someone used my referral link was 2 days ago.

I raised the issue with SelfWealth and they said the visitors using the link haven't been signing up, it just seems odd then that in the first few weeks it was all working fine and the free trades were coming through, and then nothing in the last 6 months, despite being able to see quite frequent uses of my referral code.

Is there a chance SelfWealth are detecting referral codes coming from OzBargain and disabling the free trade rewards?

    It still works for me, but I also noticed that is was working very fast a year ago, and more infrequent now.

    I don't think they're tricking anyone. I think it's just that most Ozbargain members joined last year already. It could even be something weird, like web-spider robots clicking through the referral links, counting as clicks, but not actually being legitimate users intending to sign up.

    Unlikely. I think that SelfWealth may be right and that visitors using the link aren't signing up.

    I notice clicks also that don't turn into referrals for others as well e.g. cashrewards and spaceship. I can believe people click the link,  and either don't trust something when they are signing up and stop, or just get lazy when they see all the details required and figure they will do it later. 

    It may not have been as noticeable when there were fewer codes and it rotated back around to your turn quite quickly but now some have thousands of referral codes listed it takes longer to do a full cycle and become your turn again. 

  • How do you check whether your link is being clicked on?

    • Nevermind, figured it out.

    There are currently 1,300+ active referral links on OzBargain and collectively almost 7,000 clicks between those referrals — so it's common for each individual referrals to get less clicks when the pool starts to grow.

    Na, we're not stopping anyone from using the links. That said, if your "friend" doesn't use the link correctly, we're not giving them free trades in retrospect, as we get people constantly just asking for free trades.

    • Still seems odd how I got the 10 free trades within a few weeks of adding my referral code to ozbargain, and then in the last year … zilch.

  • Passive referral, however infrequent or non existent, beats responding to Facebook groups "can anyone give me their referral to link" with tens of people posted their code already.

  • I got a referral last month, so it is/was still working.

    • How many clickthroughs have you had? I've had 15 since 26/8/2020, with the last being a month ago. Earlier in 2020, I had 10 free trades within a few weeks…

      Could just be that the referral system has been popularized so there may be a lot more registered referral codes now
