Most people choose a streaming service because someone they trust recommended it. Referral programmes reward that recommendation.

How referral programmes usually work

  1. You share your name, account email or a referral code.
  2. A friend mentions it when they subscribe.
  3. Once their paid plan is active, you receive a reward — often extra time added to your plan.

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.
