📰 News — 2026
Starlink just revamped its referral program, and it’s good news all around. Instead of a single free month of service, the person who refers now earns $140, in cash or service credit, for each eligible referral. And the good part: the person who signs up still gets a free month of service. Here’s exactly what changed and how to make the most of it.
You who sign up: 1 free month. Whoever referred you: $140.
Nothing changes for the new customer — you still get your free month of service when ordering through a referral link. It’s the referrer’s reward that becomes cash or credit, your choice.
What changed exactly
| Before | Now | |
|---|---|---|
| New customer gets | 1 free month of service | 1 free month of service (unchanged) |
| Referrer gets | 1 free month of service | $140 in cash or credit |
| When | 30 days after activation | After an eligible referral |
Cash or credit: what’s the difference?
This is the real win for referrers. The reward used to be a month of service — only useful if you were already a subscriber. Now you choose:
- As service credit: applied to your Starlink bill, like before.
- As cash: paid out instead of applied to your bill. More flexible, especially if you refer a lot of people.
Your referral dashboard shows a “lifetime earnings” counter that adds up your rewards over time.
With the switch to the new program, your dashboard may show a reset counter and $0 in earnings. That’s the new dollar-based system starting fresh — the free months earned under the old scheme were a different kind of reward. If you had referrals before, check your account credits and billing to confirm they’re still there.
How it works, step by step
- The referrer shares their official link (shown in their Starlink account, referral section).
- The new customer orders through that link and pays for their dish and first month normally.
- The new customer activates and keeps the service. That’s the condition: no activation, no reward.
- The referrer receives $140 in cash or credit; the new customer enjoys their free month.
When you order through the referral link on this site, you get your free month, and the site receives the referral reward. You pay exactly the same price as on starlink.com — that’s what keeps this guide free and independent.
