Using Referrals

How are referrals chosen?

Fair Rotation System

When multiple people share their referral links for the same retailer, we use a time-based fairness system to ensure everyone gets equal exposure. Rather than showing a list of user referral that favours the top users, our system prioritises referrals that haven't been shown recently. This means if you submit your referral, you'll get your fair share of visibility alongside other community members. The more referrals submitted, the more they rotate - giving everyone a chance to earn rewards. The exact same system is used for Referral URL and Referral Codes.

How do I use a referral link? or Code?

Click the "Use Referral Link" button on any retailer page. You'll be redirected to that service's website with the referral automatically applied. Complete the sign-up process and meet any requirements to claim your reward.

For a Referral Code, copy the code shown on the retailer page, then visit the retailer's website. During sign-up or checkout, paste the code into the referral/promo code field.

Why do requirements vary between retailers?

Fairness & Rotation

How are referrals chosen when there are multiple submissions?

Referrals are rotated using a time-based fairness system that prioritises those that haven't been shown recently. This ensures all community members get equal exposure over time, rather than one person dominating. Active contributors who submit retailers and maintain their account in good standing receive a small boost (up to 6%) that helps break ties. Flagged or inactive accounts receive a penalty (up to 10%).

Do active users get priority in the rotation?

Yes, but it's a small boost rather than a big advantage. Our rotation is primarily based on fairness — whoever has waited longest gets shown next. However, active contributors receive a slight priority boost (up to 6%) that can tip the balance when wait times are similar.

You can improve your boost by:

Keeping your account active
Submitting new retailers to our database
Reporting outdated or broken referral links

On the flip side, accounts that are inactive for 30+ days or receive abuse reports will see a small penalty (up to 10%). This keeps the platform healthy and rewards members who contribute to the community.

The boost won't let anyone jump the queue, but it does give engaged members a slight edge.

Here's how the boost works:

Factor	Effect
Account age 6+ months	+2%
Account age 1+ month	+1%
Each retailer you submit (up to 4)	+1% each
Each helpful report (up to 4)	+0.5% each
Inactive 30+ days	-1%
Inactive 60+ days	-3%
Inactive 90+ days	-5%
Abuse flag received	-2% each

Maximum boost: +6% Maximum penalty: -10%

The boost won't let anyone jump the queue, but it gives engaged members a slight edge when competing with similar wait times. Keep your account active, submit new retailers, and report broken links to maximise your priority.

Security & Fair Play

How do you prevent people gaming the system?

We take fairness seriously and have multiple measures in place to ensure everyone gets a fair chance. Our system detects and prevents:

Duplicate accounts – One referral per retailer per household
Click fraud – Self-clicking and rapid repeated clicks are blocked
Bot activity – Automated traffic is detected and excluded from stats
Fake emails – Disposable/temporary email addresses cannot be used

Suspicious activity is flagged for manual review, and accounts found to be gaming the system may be suspended.

Incentive Offers F.A.Q's

What are Incentive Offers?

How is this different from regular referral links?

Is this legitimate?

For People Signing Up (Claimants)

What if the referrer doesn't pay me?

We have multiple protections in place:

Dispute Compensation Fund: If a referrer fails to pay, you can file a dispute. Our fund covers 50% of the promised payout.
Reputation System: Non-paying referrers receive negative ratings, making their offers less attractive.
Ban System: Repeat offenders are banned from creating listings.

💡 Tip: Look for referrers with the ✓ Verified badge – they've successfully paid at least 5 people and maintain a 4+ star rating.

How will I receive payment?

Each listing specifies the payment method the referrer will use. Options include PayPal, Revolut, bank transfer, crypto, Venmo, or Cash App. After your claim is verified, you'll communicate with the referrer through our messaging system to arrange payment details. There is an element of trust involved. If a referrer doesn't pay, you can dispute the claim and may receive partial compensation from our Protection Fund. Remember: you'll always get your official referral bonus from the retailer regardless — regard the extra payout as a bonus

For Referrers (Creating Listings)

How do I create an Incentive Offer?

How much does it cost to create a listing?

Listing costs have two components and are subject to change. Fees are transparent before checkout and any unused slots are automatically refunded in credit:

Base listing fee: £5.00 for 30 days (£7.50 for 90 days, £15.00 for 1 year)
Commitment fee: 25% of (your payout amount × number of slots)

Example: If you offer £10 per signup for 5 people over 30 days:
Base fee: £5.00 + Commitment fee: £12.50 (25% of £50) = £17.50 total

30% of all fees go into our Dispute Compensation Fund to protect claimants.

What's the commitment fee for?

What happens to my unused slots if my listing expires?

Don't worry — you won't lose out. When your listing expires, we automatically calculate credit for any unused slots based on the commitment fee you paid. This credit is added to your account and will be applied to your next listing. For example, if you paid a £25 commitment fee for 10 slots but only 6 were claimed, you'll receive £10 credit (40% of your commitment fee) for the 4 unused slots.

Can I get a cash refund instead of store credit? (for Slot refunds)

Why don't you refund the full listing fee for unused slots? (for Slot Refunds)

How does the Dispute Compensation Fund work?

The Fund is built from a portion of listing fees. If a dispute is valid and the referrer genuinely fails to pay:

You'll receive 50% of the promised payout from the Fund
The referrer receives a negative mark on their reputation
This ensures you're never left completely empty-handed
What happens to my unused slots if my listing expires?
Note: Compensation depends on Fund availability and dispute validity.
