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.

          Only the code R0b64Qt_Aro55-iH is needed and not the other stuff afterwards.

  • zzyss on 24/09/2020 - 12:16

    I received a notification saying my referral code for "Beem It" has expired. I went to put it back (the field is now empty), but when I add my code and click Save it gives "Error: This referral code is already in the system".

    Not that I think Beem It is running a referral program right now, so it's probably sub-zero in terms of priority, but maybe something to look into in case it's a problem in other areas? (E.g. is a condition of expiry that the code must be different each time, and is that always the case?)

    • Moderatorneil on 24/09/2020 - 12:39

      I can confirm that there is a user with the same code as you. Whether they entered it wrong or some other reason, is not known. I've checked Beem It and they don't have a referral program active so I've disabled it from now.

    I seem unable to add my Amaysim referral code (it says "verification error - wrong format" entering a 6 digit alphanumeric code). I don't believe it's a personalised code as its random digits. Would someone be able to check it's working at all?

    Also, according to the referral page, the ref link is http://amaysi.ms/XXXXXX not http://amaysi.ms/r/XXXXXX as per the OzB page.

    • Moderatorneil on 09/10/2020 - 11:43

      We've just checked and the formatting remains the same on Amaysim's site. Perhaps they are doing something for new accounts? Can you post a screenshot from your referral section on Amaysim's site?

We've discontinued this program as of @May 19, 2020 since Notion's Personal Plan now includes unlimited content for free.

    PureProfile - a survey rewards site run by (I believe) Australia Post and others, and 18 years old - now supports referrals.

    They are of this form
    https://referral.pureprofile.com/referrer/T1RFek1UWXhOekF5Mi…

    (that's mine, but not trying to be tricky, just trying to give the precise format).

    It's a genuine site and it's got a pretty clean design. It pays out in cash.

    EDIT: Looking at the referral program it looks like it benefits the referrer only. I am not sure the referred person benefits beyond what the site ordinarily offers, which makes it a difficult sell.

    Details are

    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).

    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 fails or if the survey is not completed for any reason.)

    • Moderatorscrimshaw on 26/10/2020 - 17:58

      We don't do referrals for paid survey sites, people have requested similar services such as Octopus Group / Prize Rebel / Purkle. Neither can be posted as deals and no deals exist for any of them, we won't be adding it sorry.

                  How do I advise the community that there is a referral promotion for Sumo Energy.

                  See 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 credit.
                  The current offer has NOT been posted as a deal previously.
                  It's a limited time referral offer or it's a new addition to the OzBargain referral system (added less than 7 days ago).

                  So feel free to post a deal but again no codes in the deal.

    Hi Neil, can you please add Aussie Broadband referral. It is a code

    https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/refer-a-friend/

    After your friend signs up, you will both receive up to $50 depending on which service you choose.
