How we verify referral codes

Most referral-code sites are graveyards of expired offers. FindRefCode is different because every code carries a signal you can trust: a confirmation from people who actually used it. Here's exactly how that works.

What "% worked" means

Every code shows a figure like "100% worked (5)". That's not a rating we assign — it's the real outcome reported by users who used the code and came back to say whether the reward paid out. The percentage is the share who said it worked; the number in brackets is how many people reported. A code with "100% worked (5)" has been confirmed paying by five different people. A code with no reports yet shows no score — we don't fake confidence we don't have.

This is the single most important number on the site. A big reward with a low "worked" score is worth less than a modest reward that consistently pays.

How voting ranks offers

Alongside the "did it work?" check, logged-in users upvote and downvote codes. Votes push genuinely good offers up and bury weak or misleading ones, so the codes you see first on a brand or category page are the ones the community rates highest. Voting is one account, one vote per code — accounts created to manipulate rankings are removed, and their votes with them.

How codes get on the site

How dead codes get removed

Referral offers change constantly — brands rewrite terms, cut rewards, or end campaigns without notice. Two mechanisms catch this: downvotes and "didn't work" reports push a stale code down and out of view, and direct reports flag it for removal. A code that stops paying doesn't stay near the top for long, because the same people who confirmed it working are the ones who report when it stops.

What we don't do

We're not affiliated with the brands listed here and we're not paid to rank one code above another. Ranking is votes and confirmations, full stop. When you sign up through a code, the person who shared it earns the referral reward — that's the incentive that keeps fresh, working codes flowing in.

Read this before using any code

Community confirmation tells you a code paid out for others — it can't guarantee your specific signup qualifies. Rewards depend on the brand's own terms (region, deposits, verification, deadlines). Our guide to how referral codes work covers the fine print, and what to do if a bonus doesn't pay walks through the fixes.
