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.

  • brisdaz on 18/03/2023 - 13:46

    I noticed "Receive e-mail notifications when referrals expire" recently. Would it be possible to have a list of personal referrals that expired in the last three months as well as will expire in the next three months?

    That is in case the emails get sent to spam accidentally or intentionally.

    • Moderatorneil on 21/03/2023 - 10:26

      The onus should probably be on the user to check to make sure emails are not being sent to SPAM and to check their referrals on a regular basis to add/change/remove them. We set arbitrary expiries on the stores but really users should be removing their links/codes when they no longer are with the company (e.g. electricity provider, health insurance etc.). Maybe there is some generic/non-generic reminders we can put in somewhere. Will have a think about it.

    Max Brenner referrals disappeared from OzBargain (switched off?)

    It appears the link to get your referral link from the app is indeed gone.

    However when you sign up there is still a place for you to type the Referring Member No as the first field on the form.

    Referring members is also still listed as a benefit on their page outlining benefits of their loyalty program.

    Can you reinstate it? Maybe just asking for your member number (starting with MBLD) instead of a link.

    • Moderatorneil on 25/03/2023 - 20:58

      I contact Max Brenner and they replied with the following:

      To obtain your 500 cocoa beans for referring a friend, your referral must put in your member number as they are registering an account with us on the app.

      Have changed to coupon code, removed all codes and notified all users.

  • YadaYadaYada on 28/03/2023 - 20:58

    Hi, I'm trying to enter my referral code for "Qantas Insurance - App Download" which I assume is for using the Qantas Wellbeing App. In the Friends tab of the app, if you go to "Refer a Friend", it tells you to just pass along a unique code that your friend will use when they sign up to the app for the first time. There's no URL like the current implementation.

    • Moderatorneil on 30/03/2023 - 22:40

      That's been changed to Qantas Wellbeing App, changed to coupon code, system flushed and all users notified.

    Merged from Valid Spriggy Referral Code Is Being Rejected with "Verification Error - Wrong Format"

    Hi, trying to input my Spriggy referral URL. The placeholder in the field at https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/-/edit/referrals shows:

    https://get.sprig.gy/i/{ReferralCode}

    My URL is:

    https://get.sprig.gy/w/JASOD131

    When I enter it, I get a tooltip error, "Verification error - wrong format"

    If I change my "w" to an "i", it passes the verification and is stored, but that's not the referral code Spriggy is supplying.

    Can we update the referral link format for WorldRemit.

    Referral link format appears to have changed from https://www.worldremit.com/en/refer-a-friend/invited?code={ReferralCode} and is now https://www.worldremit.com/en/r/{ReferralCode}

    (Note: I have tried the old format currently in the referral system by just replacing the {ReferralCode} to my referral code and it brought me to a page with an error message, so the old referral format appears to not work anymore)

      All the links I've tried in the referral system now currently work. Are you saying when you log in to Worldremit, that the referral link they are giving is https://www.worldremit.com/en/r/{ReferralCode}?

    Requesting worldofwarships.com (.eu/.asia for other regions)

    https://worldofwarships.com/en/content/recruiting_station/

    The Recruiting Station is a special in-game reward system. Recruiters invite their friends to the game, and in return, they receive unique containers and other rewards in the Armory, as well as Doubloon returns from purchases made by the players they recruit.

    Format: https://warships.us/{username} (presumably .eu/.asia for other regions)

    For Oculus, I do not think the current OzBargain referral model works. We don't want to create 200+ Oculus games entries which makes the referral page much harder to use nor it scalable when there are new games at Oculus. So for now:

    • We will not take any more request to add Oculus games to the referral system
    • We will build something especially for Oculus games referrals. That might take weeks, depending on our current schedules and the complexity.

      Would a megathread in classifieds be a partial solution or wiki article?

      It still has the old problem of first mover advantage.

      • Moderatorscotty on 11/04/2023 - 10:42

        Our existing system is also a "partial solution" but simply not suitable for this particular problem. Classified / wiki would be going backwards again. Nope, we won't add any more Oculus referrals until a new solution is implemented.

          That's fair enough, and one of the reasons I raised this in TWAM before posting. Given the link format is the same except for the username and game number, I'm hopeful it won't be too onerous. Either way, thanks for the update and willingness to create something better!

        • pixxelpusher on 19/04/2023 - 21:19

          Something like https://meta-dog.github.io/meta-dog/ would be good, but made for the ozbargain community.

          • Moderatorscotty on 20/04/2023 - 05:54

            @pixxelpusher: That's a useful resource. Here's a quick hack we have for Oculus referrals

            https://www.ozbargain.com.au/referral/oculus

            Basically to add your own, you need to put in your Oculus username there, and then click on the "tick" next to the products you to indicate that you have referral for that product. Click on "Random" to get referred by those who already have that product. To add new products, use this forum post to request help from moderators.

            Please test whether it works.
