Invite links vs coupon codes vs cashback
Referral invites often credit a bonus when you sign up through a tracked URL. Coupons reduce a checkout price for a limited window. Cashback portals rebate after a tracked purchase — different mechanics, same need for honesty about timing.
Mixing them in one chaotic popup leads to declined cashback and dead codes. Keep one clean path per action.
How RefDeal filters deals (build + runtime)
A code without an expiry is a rumour with a font.
Browse /deals/ for the live set, then open the related offer guide for signup steps. Never trust a screenshot of a code without a date.
- Source list stores end dates for official/invite promos
- Static build omits expired rows from HTML
- Browser runtime double-checks dates so a cached page does not resurrect dead codes
- Sponsored CTAs stay labelled — transparency over urgency theatre
Shopper hygiene that protects rebates
Disable conflicting coupon extensions when using cashback. Activate the retailer via the portal first. Keep order emails until the rebate clears. See cashback-apps-belgium-2026 and the cashback browser hygiene tool.
