IMPORTANT: Referral links on ChoiceCheapies are currently in beta testing.

Summary – these are the current rules as of April 2015. See also Affiliate/Referral Links in Deal Posting Guidelines on what links can be posted, and Referral and Affiliate Link Differences.

• You CAN NOT submit a deal with an affiliate link as the main link/URL. Affiliate links CAN NOT be placed in the description or anywhere else at all.
• You CAN NOT submit a deal with a referral link as the main link/URL.
• You CAN NOT post affiliate/referral links in the comments.
• You ARE NOW ALLOWED to include referral links for group buy sites in a deal post (change effective as of April 2015).
• If this is your first deal post on ChoiceCheapies, or you are still a P-plater (it has been less than 6 weeks since your first deal post), you CAN NOT submit a deal with affiliate/referral links or codes ANYWHERE in the deal.
• You MAY include a referral link in the main deal/forum post description, however it must
  • Be declared, eg prefix/suffix with *”This is my referral code”*
  • Near the end of the post, always after the main link.
  • If store is not already in the ChoiceCheapies referral system, please explain the referral. For example:
    • This is my referral link, if you click through and make a purchase I will receive $10 and you will receive $5.
• Either put your referral link at the end of the deal description or don't mention it at all - do not solicit referrals.

You can then go to your account settings → referrals page to set up your referral codes for all the merchants that we are supporting.
