Do my referral links only get shown to my FB friends who also use the extension or to everyone with the extension installed?

@xnet - it will always get shown to your friends within the system. It could also be shown to others. If a user lands on HotelTonight (for example) and his friends don't have a referral link for that program, we'll pull one from our pool of other users. We have an algorithm to determine who's is shown. It's based on an internal "quality score" for users. We hope to make that score and its inputs more transparent.

@mjirout @xnet Are you sure aggregating referral links like this is not against the policy of the referral program? I thought it was only for personal contacts: http://mommypoints.boardingarea....

@mikestaub good question - the honest answer is, that I don't know. We've built it so that people can use it with sincere intention... to see which of their friends are using a product so that they're able to get feedback on that product. And to easily provide a system for attribution for that referral. Someone else pointed out that RetailMeNot also does this on their site. Those guys are pretty well known, so I'm assuming they'd have gotten dinged if it were in violation.

How does a referral link for a single Amazon product work (my most common use case)? If one's on smile.amazon.com, the extension reports "There is no program for this website", if one switches to www.amazon.com version of this, the referral link is for membership in the Prime program, not specific Amazon product one is looking at.

@prostoalex - I think you're referring to an "affiliate link" vs a "referral link." It's against Amazon terms to automate the attachment of affiliate links.

@prostoalex Thanks for your inquiry. Currently handling multiple referral programs from a single provider is an area Referred Club needs to improve on. For Amazon we support the Prime and Amazon Student programs. Google is another provider that offers multiple referral programs. Our logic that differentiates between multiple referral programs under the same provider is due for a re-factor. This has been targeted as a TODO for our next release.

Definitely a cool idea that I should've had! Question, though - what's with all these permissions that the extension requests? The first and third make sense, but the others seem like things it shouldn't need to do:

@loganrosen Thanks much for the interest in Referred Club and for your question. "Read and change your browsing history" is the permission it asks for when you want to use the history API. All we're doing here is reading history to compile a separate dictionary of tabs you have open and their Referred Club program matches (if any). This way we can have the extension serve up what's in memory rather than hit the server every time as you change browser tabs. "Manage your apps, extensions, and themes" is what it asks for when you are requesting to use the management API. I am pretty sure I no longer need the management declaration in the manifest. It could be an artifact left over from an earlier effort. Either way it's been marked for removal for our next release of the extension. Thanks again for the feedback!

@loganrosen just wanted to update my last reply with news that v0.3.9 of the Referred Club extension has just been submitted and should be available within the hour. The management permission has been removed and you should therefore no longer see "Manage your apps, extensions, and themes" as a requested permission.

Hey all… excited to be on Product Hunt! We’re assuming that since you’re on here, you commonly do the following: 1) sign up for new products & services 2) share product recommendations with others But, how often are you using Referral Links? You probably used one when signing up for Uber, Lyft, and maybe Airbnb… but, hundreds of other popular companies offer these. Here are just a few of the many others: - Amazon - Dollar Shave Club - Spotify - Equinox - Fiverr - Evernote - Orbitz - Shopify - Eventbrite - Shyp - Coinbase @joeszynal and I built this as a side product because we kept using people’s recommendations and referring others, but never used referral links. Our Chrome extensions solves this problem. Whenever landing on a site with a referral program, a slider will drop down showing you the available referral links. If we have a FB friend of yours with a link, we’ll show you that. If not, we’ll give you a generic referral link to get the associated benefit. You can also enter your own referral links into our system. We’ll show them to any of your FB friends landing on that site. Referral benefits range from $5 in credit to a free Tesla… seriously, Tesla was giving away a car for referring like 10 people. Also, a couple weeks back, some guy became a millionaire for referring people to Jet.com. Personally, I’ve gotten a dozens of free Uber rides, Shyp credit, cash from Eventbrite, flowers, stickers, and all kinds of other perks for entering my links into Referred Club. It’s Free to use. Thanks in advance for any feedback from the community!

Great idea, signed up, tho it would be great when viewing each referral program to have some more info on where to find the referral link (link to an FAQ on that programs site, or even just basic details on where to go)

Thanks, @braunshizzle - I agree that would be very helpful. Some of those can be a pain to locate. We appreciate the feedback!

@braunshizzle Yaaaassss. This. I'm trying to fill out my list on ReferredClub and I keep Googling " referral link" to try to get closer to a direct link to the page I need… getting arduous!

@mjirout Thanks! Also I noticed a bunch of platforms you have listed no longer have a referral or affiliate program. I've contacted a bunch after mindlessly Googling and ended up getting in touch only to be told they don't have a referral platform any more. Perhaps a report button on a platform would be helpful too!

@braunshizzle - great idea to have a "report bad link" option. Thanks!

The problem is that often those programs pay you when you reach a min volume or actions. Do you also inform users of that?

@ourielohayon Thanks for checking out Referred Club. Referral programs do differ from provider to provider. We manually approve new program submissions to ensure quality and also display in plain language the benefit for both referrer and referred on all alerts from the extension and on program detail pages found on our website.
