Starlink referral code questions, answered

Nowhere. There’s no box for it. Starlink's own steps never ask you to type a code. Every step starts with opening the link, so the code reaches checkout inside the web address. Open the referral link, then check for “Referral Code Applied” on the order page before paying. Full walkthrough.

The link. Starlink's terms define the referral as a "Unique Referral Link": a personalized link or code made for one existing customer, but only the link carries the code to checkout. If you were sent just the code, ask for the link. Code vs link.

Before paying: the order page shows "Referral Code Applied" before you submit, and a banner at the top of starlink.com says you're using a referral link (third-party report). After ordering: Starlink emails you once the free month is confirmed, and the bill preview in your account shows month two as free.

No. A referral can't be added after the order is placed (third-party report), and Starlink’s own steps put the link before sign-up.

Not confirmed. Starlink doesn’t say whether a link opened in a web browser carries over if you finish the order in the Starlink app. To be safe, open the link and finish the order in a web browser.

Send the link to yourself and open it on the laptop. Only the browser that opened the link has the code in its address.

One free month of service on the eligible plan you choose. You pay the first month; the credit comes off your second bill.

No. It gives a free month of service, not money off the hardware.

Residential Lite, Residential, Residential 100 Mbps, Residential 200 Mbps, Residential Max, Roam 100GB, Roam 300GB and Roam Unlimited.

Yes. You still get your free month even if the customer who shared the code takes their reward as cash.

No. Existing and returning customers can't use a referral.

No. The kit and plan must be bought directly on starlink.com; stores, unauthorized resellers and private transfers don't count.

Not for a US address. Your service address must be in the same country as the address of the customer whose code you use.

Starlink’s steps say to activate and stay subscribed at least 2 months. The referral only counts once you stay subscribed, in good standing, for two full monthly billing cycles.

Not in the US. None of Starlink's help-center text on discounts asks you to type a promo code; discounts either appear on their own at checkout for your address or come from a referral link. The full answer.

They have nowhere to go: Starlink’s US checkout has no promo-code box. Myth checked.

You don’t need a code. In select areas, new customers see a discounted monthly price for a fixed period, shown automatically when they order on starlink.com.

Nothing in Starlink’s text says so. In high-demand areas a one-time demand surcharge can apply, set by your address and plan.

A real one isn’t, but fake “code” pages exist. A code only works on starlink.com, and you never pay the person who shares it. Check a link before you open it.

Never. Codes are free to share, and Starlink pays the reward to the person who shared it, not you.

Yes, the customer whose link you use gets an email when someone buys through it. Starlink doesn’t say what that email or their account shows about you (for example, your name). If that matters to you, use a code from someone you know.

The customer who shared the code gets a reward from Starlink ($100 per successful US referral, in Starlink's own example), as account credit or cash. Their reward doesn’t reduce your free month.

We only show our own referral code, and only after a legal check of Starlink’s referral terms. Until then, the honest route is a link from someone you know. Everything else on this site works without a code.

Through the referral reward, if someone uses our code once it’s posted. It never changes what we tell you. Details.
