How we rank referral codes

Most brands have many people sharing a code for the same bonus. Here's exactly how we decide whose code you see first — and the rules that keep that fair.

The short version

  • Newest and recently confirmed first. A new code starts at the top of its brand page. When someone confirms a code worked for them, it moves back up.
  • Codes don't linger. A code without an end date expires 30 days after it's posted — unless people keep confirming it works.
  • Nobody can buy or game the top spot. There are no paid placements, and the rules below stop the usual tricks.

How the order works

Every code has a “last active” date: when it was posted, or when someone last confirmed it worked — whichever is later. Codes are listed by that date, newest first. Codes reported as not working by several people are taken down for a moderator to review.

How long codes stay listed

If the brand's offer has an end date, the referrer adds it and the code comes down the day after. Otherwise the code is listed for 30 days. Each time someone confirms it worked, that's pushed out to 30 days from the confirmation — so codes people actually use stay up, and abandoned ones quietly go away. Referrers can renew an expired code from their settings at any time.

Rules that keep it fair

  • One code per person per brand. You can list one live code for each brand.
  • No delete-and-repost. After you post a code for a brand, you can't post another for that brand for 30 days — even if you delete the first one. Edit or renew it instead.
  • Editing and renewing don't move a code up. Only other people confirming it works can do that. Changing a code or link sends it back to a moderator.
  • Each code is listed once. The same code or link can't be posted twice for a brand, by anyone.
  • Votes need an established account. Anyone with an account can vote, but votes from accounts less than three days old don't move or extend a code, and each person's “worked” counts for one code per brand. You can't vote on your own codes.
  • Uses count people, not clicks. The “uses” number counts unique visitors, so clicking your own link repeatedly doesn't inflate it.
  • Reports need an established account too. A code reported by three established accounts is hidden until a moderator reviews it, so throwaway accounts can't knock a code off the page.

Moderation

Every new code is reviewed by a moderator before it goes live. What we allow is set out in our content policy.
