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.

    Peppermayo may be worth adding; $30 credit for referee and referrer. https://peppermayo.com/pages/rewards-program-page

    Uber Carshare referrals no longer work, as when trying link it has "Sorry, that page doesn’t exist" and advises that "Uber Carshare will cease operations on 12 September 2024 in Australia, meaning cars on Uber Carshare will no longer be available for borrowers to book." - https://www.uber.com/au/en/consumer-vehicles-borrowers/

    When doing search for cars then no cars come up and has message of "We're not accepting bookings starting after 27 August 2024" (yesterday).

    Therefore I assume Uber Carshare can be removed from referrals page. Thanks

    Binance Standard referral from: https://www.binance.com/en/activity/referral/offers

    is giving me an "Error: Verification error - wrong format" error on the Ozbargain referrals page: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/165367/edit/referrals#

    However this is the same page that OzBargain links to to get the standard referral link.

    Ok, I just changed from the Referral page which is linked to from OzBargain: https://www.binance.com/en/activity/referral/offers to the Referral Pro on the Binance website: https://www.binance.com/en/activity/referral?stopRedirectToA…, which provided the correct link.

    My bad - apologies.

    Hey Mod, perhaps you had noticed, not sure but please double confirm? My doordash referral code (app) keeps changing, and I haven’t been receiving any new people, clicked or not click because its changes.

    • Moderatorneil on 08/09/2024 - 09:23

      The system is set up to expire every 90 days but I can see even the older links still work despite the app changing the link. The shortened drd.sh redirects to identity.doordash.com links where I think client_id is what identifies the referrer no matter if the shortened drd.sh changes.

        I just signed up to H&M through the referral link on ozbargain and it seems to only be showing a 10% off first purchase rather than a $10 off (hope I didn't do it wrong)

        When I check my referral link section on my H&M profile it states "Invite your friends to become members and you’ll be rewarded with 50 points! How amazing is that?"

        maybe the rewards have changed.

    Suggestion to add Local Pegs.

    Benefit:
    1. Reward System:
    For every successful referral, we'll credit your account with $10 once your friend signs up and completes a transaction using Pegs.
    2. Benefits for Your Friend:
    Your friend isn't left out either! When they signup using your referral link, they'll receive $5 to spend on Pegs.

    Instruction:
    1. Open the Pegs App:
    Launch the Pegs app on your device. Ensure you're logged into your account.
    2. Navigate to Settings:
    Tap on the 'Settings' wheel icon located in the upper left corner of the app.
    3. Locate the Referral Option:
    Within the Settings menu, look for the 'Refer a Friend' option located under your profile information.
    4. Share Your Referral Link:
    Once you've pressed 'Refer a Friend,' you'll be provided with a unique referral link to share with friends and family. Alternatively, if you're with them in person, they can scan your QR code with their device camera.
    Once they finish the signup, a referral pop-up will appear, guiding them to enter your username.

  • alexjb on 22/09/2024 - 09:05

    Not sure if this applies to other cards as well (or if it could be targeted entirely) but the American Express Velocity Platinum Ts&Cs now show that the referree bonus is MR points on the Explorer Card rather than a Velocity card at all.

    If you hold an American Express Velocity Platinum Card, your reward when you successfully refer a friend will be 20,000 Velocity Points provided your friend applies via the referral link we have provided you and as long as your account is in good standing. Your friend will receive 50,000 Membership Rewards® points when they apply through your unique referral link for the American Express Explorer® Credit Card, are approved and spend $4,000 on eligible purchases within the first 3 months of Card Membership.

    https://www.americanexpress.com/en-AU/referral/terms/MOBILE/…

    Not sure how the listing should be updated to properly reflect this change?

    • Moderatorneil on 22/09/2024 - 20:45

      I've tested a bunch of the Velocity Platinum links and none work. Have disabled. If you have a referral link for an Explorer card, then you should put it in Explorer section only.

      • alexjb on 23/09/2024 - 08:18

        Can a mod or admin please wipe the link I've registered with Velocity Platinum (can't access it now it's disabled)?

    Not sure how this got on there, but there's not a $40 referee credit.

    • Moderatorneil on 01/10/2024 - 20:30

      According to our records, it was added 23/06/2023:

      Looking at the deals:

      For example, if you join the rewards program thing via referral for $100, you get a welcome email containing $40 credit. You add the Benriach 12 to your cart for $71.20, apply the $40 code, and the bottle is $31.20 shipped. In total, you paid $132.10 for a $90-100 bottle and also have membership for cool shit.

      The referral system is up and running, and I've explain how it works in this 20% off Benriach and Glendronach post.

      Here is a quick tl;dr
      Join the rewards program thing using the referral link for half price $50, and you get a welcome email containing $40 credit essentially making membership $10 this has been turned off, but it's still buggy and works on certain accounts. Membership is now $100 except the few that got lucky. You will still get $40 credit.

      Rewards Club Promo
      If you're a big whisk(e)y fan, could be worth you while signing up to TWL Whisky Lovers Rewards before the end of June. Use one of the random referrals below and for $100 you'll get free delivery for a year and $40 in credit (so this wheat whiskey would be $39.20 shipped, meaning you would have paid $139.20 for the whiskey and membership, which is less than RRP for the whiskey!). There are also lots of other member-only perks like access to special sales, access to single casks, access to Springbank ballots and early access to certain bottlings.

      etc, etc.

      I see it's now only $20 and that has been updated.
