How Meta Quest referrals work
Everything about referral links, why they stop working, and what RefShare does about it.
About RefShare.app
What is RefShare.app?
RefShare is a community catalogue of Meta Quest referral links. Members share the referral links for games they own, and anyone can use one when buying that game.
Is RefShare.app free?
Yes. Browsing and using referral links needs no account, and sharing your own is free too. RefShare takes no cut of anything.
How Meta referrals work
What does a Meta Quest referral link actually do?
Meta's referral programme discounts an eligible game for the buyer and credits the person whose link was used. Both sides gain, which is why members are happy to share theirs.
Why do I have to follow someone on Meta Horizon first?
Meta only honours a referral between accounts that are connected. Open the sharer's Meta Horizon profile from the link on the game page, follow each other, then come back and use the referral link.
Why did a referral link not work?
Referral links expire and each one can only be redeemed a limited number of times. Answer “No” when the page asks whether it worked, then try the next link — once three people report the same link as failed with nobody confirming it since, it drops out of the lists for everyone.
Finding and sharing links
How do I find referral links for a specific game?
Search for it in the box at the top of any page, or browse all games with referral links. Each game has its own page listing every link shared for it.
How do I share my own referral links?
Create a free account, then paste your referral URLs into the upload form on your profile — one or a hundred at a time. RefShare matches each one to the right game automatically.
Which link should I pick?
The ones at the top. Every list is ordered by what people report back after using a link: confirmed working first, never tested next, reported broken last.
Keeping the lists honest
Do I need an account to report a link?
No. Answering takes one click and needs no account — one answer per person per link, and you can change your mind.
How do you know which links still work?
We ask the people who use them. A referral opens in a new tab, so when you come back the page asks whether it redeemed. Those answers order every list — confirmed working first, never tested next, reported broken last — and each link shows when it was last confirmed.
What happens to links that keep failing?
Three failure reports from different people, with nobody confirming it worked since, take a link out of the lists. One report is not enough: the commonest reason a referral fails is not having followed the sharer on Meta Horizon first, which is a mistake rather than a dead link.
Still stuck?
