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.

    Hi,

    Would it be possible to include Fuzenet in the list? Their home page is www.fuzenet.com.au.

    The referral code is an 8 character code, mine starts with S followed by 7 numbers. The code just needs to be entered when signing up to the internet service.

    Bother referrer and referee get a $25 egift card.

    Existing members can find their code when logging in and looking under my profile.

    Referral link URL format for Keychron does not seem to be working.

    I replaced {ReferralCode} in https://www.keychron.com/a/refer-a-friend/redeem/{ReferralCode} with mine and tested in an incognito window and it says 404 not found.

    The URL I got from Keychron was in this format: http://keychron.refr.cc/{ReferralCode}

  • droodle on 01/10/2021 - 10:50

    The Emma referral system needs to be changed as once referred then you need to provide the person referred order details to claim the referral :

    You need to provide :

    • friend's order number
    • your order number
    • your account number, BSB number & Swift code

    currently there is no way of obtaining the person referred order number

    • Moderatorhamza23 on 05/10/2021 - 16:43

      The Emma referral system is now for a $30 off coupon (min spend $290) https://www.emma-sleep.com.au/emma/referrals/list/

      You mentioned providing banking details, so I assume that you are referring to a previous referral program that was for cash?

      If your referral tracked already, then it sounds like Emma may be asking for unnecessary details. There is no stated requirement to then ask your friend/colleague for their order number after 100 days have passed, the only requirement is to simply share your referral link/code.

      • droodle on 05/10/2021 - 16:50

        No i'm referring to the fact that when someone clicks on your referral link - then it shows in Emma as a referral - but the t&c state that to claim that referral you need your order number + the order number of the person referred - which would be impossible to get as you have no idea whos used your referral link ..

        https://www.emma-sleep.com.au/faq/friendreferral/#friendrefe…

        thx

        • Moderatorhamza23 on 05/10/2021 - 16:59

          Okay I see. None of that is listed in the referral section I was looking at, only in the FAQ link you provided.

          Just to confirm, it mentions a $30 rebate for the referrer. I assume that is a cash payment sent to your bank account, is that correct?

          That referral structure is problematic for OzBargain. We could change the referral system to PM only but ultimately there is no guarantee or motivation that the person who used your referral code would provide their order number to you 3 or 4 months later so you can also claim your $30.

          • droodle on 05/10/2021 - 17:17

            @hamza23: thats right it should be a $30 rebate to your bank - i had 3 referrals and chased them up and they wouldn't pay out as I didn't have any order numbers from people I purchased from.
            The best bet is that someone PM's for referral - then replies with an order number after - then down to you to follow up after 100days
            Otherwise its really not worth it.

            cheers.

            • Moderatorhamza23 on 06/10/2021 - 16:07

              @droodle: Alright thanks, I've changed the referral system to PM only and fixed the referral information/instructions now.

    Merged from Fite TV Referrals Not on OzBargain

    Hey all,

    I have recently started using Fite tv for watching AEW, and I notice that there is nowhere to add the referral code to ozbargain.

    Feel free to use mine anyone who starts watching, gets us both $10 credit.

    https://fite.tv/invite/xxxxxxx
    Referral code: xxxxxxx

    Westfund has updated their referral system https://www.westfund.com.au/campaigns/refer-a-friend
    Previously the referrer need to put the referee details. But now can just use the referrer's membership number.
    Same benefit, just updated system. Also easier for referee now because they don't have to PM people in ozb and give their details

    • Moderatorneil on 13/10/2021 - 16:20

      Updated the referral link but I'm not sure we want to have health insurance membership numbers publicly viewable?

      • Ceri on 14/10/2021 - 20:45

        Good point.. I guess it's still better because the membership number back can't be linked to individual user anyway? People are PM-ing and giving out membership number which can be tied to their user profile now

        • Moderatorneil on 20/10/2021 - 12:20

          OK, have changed to membership number. Everyone in that referral system has now been notified to add their membership number to the system.

    This is the format

    Amber Electric has started doing referral links as well, example here (actual referral code replaced by CODEGOESHERE) as well. I'm already a user, very good rates especially if you're willing to be a little flexible on when you use electricity to avoid major spikes. Finally found a use for the delay function on my clothes washer, clothes dryer, and dishwasher.

    There's UTM tracking stuff that we could drop, but might as well retain, keeps the traffic looking like they'd expect ;)

    Hey mods, the referral link format for Zenni Optical has changed, & therefore I can't input my referral link - I get an error saying invalid format. I think the issue is they used to issue bit.ly links, but now use goo.gl shortened URLs instead…

    • Moderatorneil on 20/10/2021 - 22:59

      If I go to their Refer a Friend page, and enter details I'm shown a bit.ly link. Where are you getting a goo.gl link from?

      • LustStarrr on 20/10/2021 - 23:14

        Weird! I'm getting the goo.gl link from their Refer a Friend page too! Here's a pic.

        • Moderatorneil on 21/10/2021 - 17:44

          OK, no worries. System should now accept both bit.ly and goo.gl links.

    When referrals expire from the system, can you leave the referral info maybe in the notification or something so we don't have to log back into every site to get the info again? Annoying when a lot of them expire at once

    • Moderatorneil on 21/10/2021 - 13:27

      This is intentional. By default, we set referrals to expire after 1 year (less for some stores) as referral codes sometimes change. We don't want people copying and pasting but rather double checking that your code is still valid.

      It also gets people to check that a retailer's referral system is still active and if any changes to benefits have been made.

        As More is just another brand of Tangerine, they just copied everything including giving a referral code in the sign up email but there is no info on a referral program.

        Will put this on hold for now until they release one.

    Hello,

    Could you please disable the referral system for 86 400?

    Their website states the refer a friend program ended on 31 October.

    I called 86 400, and the rep confirmed the program has been paused, but they said it should be back later this year or early next year.

      Thanks, have disabled the system pending any new information.
