Starlink referral code or promo code? $100 in the US, by country

Starlink's referral amount, country by country

In November 2026, the message Starlink's checkout gives for an order through a referral link named the amounts below for a new customer, country by country.

Who counts as a new customer is on the sign-up page, and the program in full is on the offers and credits page.

The Spanish, Portuguese, German and French versions of this page give Starlink's figures for countries where those languages are spoken. They're listed under Languages at the foot of this page.

How a Starlink referral code applies, and what checkout shows

Starlink records a referral only through the link, and its checkout shows "Referral Code Applied" when the link carries the code (read November 2026). In Starlink's other English text the title reads "Referral code applied", and a reader in the Philippines may meet Starlink's Filipino title, "In-apply na ang Referral Code".

Starlink's US Referral Program Terms, in the version published October 2026, define what a referrer shares in section 2.4: "“Unique Referral Link” means the personalized hyperlink or code generated for a Referrer through the SpaceX Customer Portal or other authorized channel for the purpose of tracking referrals under the Program." Section 3.1(b) adds "No other referral mechanism shall qualify". Starlink's referral help page, checked November 2026, says how a referral is counted: "A referral is only recorded when the new customer orders on starlink.com using your unique link."

So open Starlink's site through the link before anything else. The help page's own instruction is "Use the unique referral link to purchase Residential or Roam service on starlink.com." The sign-up page goes through an order placed that way.

If the referral can't be applied, the title reads "Referral Code Not Applied" instead, with one of two warnings. "The referral code you are using is not valid." is the warning for a code Starlink's system turns down. "The referral you are using does not apply to this order type" is the one for an order the referral doesn't cover, and it goes on: "Your order will still be made, but no reward will be applied." Either way, open the referral link again before you order, and choose Residential or Roam service, the two the help page names.

A kit from a store carries no referral. The help page says a referral won't appear when the new customer "bought from a retailer or marketplace store", and section 3.1(d) of the terms says "Signing up through any other channel is not eligible for a Reward, including, but not limited to, retail stores". What a store or a used kit changes beyond that is on the where-to-buy page.

No page read in October 2026 says where or how a new customer would type a code, and none describes a code field at checkout.

My own referral link is in the promo after this page's answer and again at its end. When an order through it qualifies, Starlink gives me a reward too.

Ordered without the referral link? It can't be added later

If an order was placed without the link, Starlink's help page says "the referral won't appear and can't be added later". What else keeps the reward from arriving is on the sign-up page.

Starlink's US pages describe no promo code

In October 2026, searches of Starlink's US help center for "promo code", "promotion code", "discount code", "coupon", "voucher", "referral code" and "code" found no page that describes a code a new customer enters at checkout. A full read of Starlink's US Terms of Service, its Special Offers document and its Referral Program Terms found none either. The search for "discount code" returned nothing at all, and the only codes in any result were an aircraft's "ICAO or IATA code" and a DHL tracking code.

The Terms of Service say how a discount reaches you, under the heading Discounts: "Starlink may offer you discounts at the time of sale, including on your monthly Service fee." (version published August 2026). No page describes a code to type for any of the US discounts Starlink's pages list in October 2026, though the ones that follow the service address need that address when you order. Each reaches a customer another way:

• The referral credit comes through an existing customer's link, used when you order (how it works).
• The Special Offers document's one offer (version published November 2026, checked November 2026), for "Residential Max Subscribers Only", is a "Starlink Mini rental for no monthly fee and 50% off the monthly cost of eligible Roam service plans". Starlink's help page on that offer says it is "available only to customers in select countries with an active Residential plan", and "If you are eligible, Starlink will email you a “Claim Mini” button."
• The Activation Benefit "will be automatically applied to your order at checkout", and it is "currently available for new Mini kits purchased on starlink.com in the United States and Canada".
• Promotional service pricing shows up as you order: "If discounted service pricing is available in your area, you will see the discount service price offering at the time you place your order on starlink.com." (Promotional Service Pricing Terms of Service).
• A dated offer line in the English text of Starlink's own website, checked November 2026, says "Save 30% on recurring Residential service in select areas and on all Roam service", for sign-ups by the last day of November 2026. It names no code: what it asks for is a sign-up by then, and Starlink's help page on promotional pricing says a lower price, where one is available in your area, shows as you order (the item above). Searches of Starlink's US help center in November 2026 for "Black Friday", "Cyber Monday" and "holiday" found no page about an offer or a code. This site hasn't seen the line beside a US price, and its limits are on the offers and credits page.
• An area discount, "a 50% discount to Starlink Residential service plans" in an eligible zone, follows the address: "Eligibility is based only on your service address." (Starlink lists each area on a help page of its own, one of them here).
• A "family discount" subscription is an extra subscription on an account. The Terms of Service, under Additional Subscription Discounts, say "You may be offered the opportunity to add a limited number of additional "family discount" subscriptions to your account", and you keep them "by continuing to subscribe to at least one full price Service offering on the same account".

The help pages above were checked in October 2026. The conditions of the Mini rental, the Activation Benefit, promotional pricing and the area discounts are set out on the offers and credits page.

Starlink's help page on applied promotions uses the word "coupon" for a discount Starlink applies itself: "If this is about the Optional Mini Kit for Travel, the coupon is applied only after a full month of Roam service." The search for "voucher" found no voucher.

To see what applies at your address, you give starlink.com the address. Starlink's help page on cost says "To check prices in your area, go to starlink.com, enter your address, and click "Order Now" to preview the price breakdown in your area for the Starlink Kit cost and the monthly service price." This page never enters an address.

Is there a free month? Not in the current US terms

Starlink's referral help page, checked October 2026, tells a referred customer "Sign up with the referral link on starlink.com, pay for the first month, and activate your kit." The referral doesn't pay for that month: it gives a $100 credit, applied to the second monthly bill.

Starlink's help page on how a service credit is applied works it through: "if your invoice is $120 USD when a $100 USD credit is applied to your account, the new balance due for the invoice will be $20 USD" (checked October 2026). Credits "are only applied to monthly subscription charges", never to shop orders, reactivation or plan changes. A month of credit looks different on that page: "For example, if a customer receives 1 month of service credit, the customer will receive a $0 billing statements for the next cycle." That is Starlink's wording, and the US referral gives $100, not a month of service.

This page doesn't work the credit against a plan's monthly price. Starlink's help page on changing a service address says US Residential pricing "varies by region" (checked October 2026), and for Roam, Starlink's own US site listed other plans and prices than its Roam label file when this site checked in November 2026 (the Roam rows on the plans and prices page). Starlink's own example above shows how a credit comes off an invoice.

In the pages read in October 2026, the only month of credit Starlink gives a new customer is a remedy for a late kit. Starlink's help page on the billing cycle, checked October 2026, says "If you have received a notice that your billing cycle will begin soon and your Starlink Kit has not yet been delivered, your 30-day trial period is extended by another 30 days, and a one-month service credit is applied to your account." The 30-day trial page sets that beside the rest of the clock.

Under section 6.3 of the Terms of Service, the first month's service fee comes back with a timely return of a kit bought on starlink.com. What such a return refunds, and what it keeps, is on the trial page's refund section.

What Starlink's US documents do put at $0, and on what terms, has its own page.

What this page doesn't cover

Codes from retailers, accessory stores and installers, and codes for Subaru's connected-car service of the same name.

Prepaid Wi-Fi vouchers sold in other countries.

Discounts for military, veterans, students and other groups: the group discounts page.

Referral amounts for countries the table doesn't list, which Starlink's help page says depend on the country and show in the account.
