Most people choose a streaming service because someone they trust recommended it. Referral programmes reward that recommendation.
How referral programmes usually work
- You share your name, account email or a referral code.
- A friend mentions it when they subscribe.
- Once their paid plan is active, you receive a reward — often extra time added to your plan.
Typical rewards
| Reward type | Example |
|---|---|
| Extra time | Free days or months added |
| Discount | Money off your next renewal |
| Two-way reward | Both of you get a bonus |
Schemes vary between providers and over time. Ask our support team whether a referral offer is currently running.
How to share a referral
- Recommend it because it works for you — explain what you like.
- Suggest they start with a free trial.
- Share setup help: our installation guide makes it easy.
Referral etiquette
- Don't spam groups or forums.
- Be honest about strengths and weaknesses.
- Never share your own login — it causes connection problems and can get your account suspended.
Combining referrals with other savings
- Choose longer plans for a lower monthly cost — see pricing.
- Watch for seasonal offers like Black Friday.
Referring for a household or group
If several relatives in different homes want the service, each needs their own plan — that's where referrals help. For more screens in one home, upgrade instead — see multiscreen.
Why referrals beat advertising
People trust friends more than adverts. Providers would rather reward customers than pay for ads.
Turn recommendations into savings
If you're happy with your service, ask about referrals — and help your friends avoid the common IPTV scams.
