Sky Referral Code: Get up to £100 in Vouchers

f you’re thinking of joining Sky, its Refer a Friend scheme could get you up to £100 in vouchers, depending on which Sky product you choose.

And unlike a normal discount code, the reward isn’t money knocked off your Sky bill. After you’ve qualified, Sky sends you a reward that can be exchanged for a choice of vouchers.

The current rewards range from £15 for a Sky Mobile SIM-only plan to £100 for Sky Glass.

I’m already a Sky customer and have been given a personal Refer a Friend link through the scheme.

Sky referral offer: up to £100 in vouchers

Referral terms and reward amounts can change. Check the current offer shown by Sky before placing your order.

Sky referral rewards at a glance

Here are the reward amounts in the current Sky Refer a Friend terms you’ve received:

So when you see “up to £100”, it’s important to understand that you don’t automatically receive £100.

The amount depends on the Sky product you take.

Is there a Sky referral code?

Not really.

Although people often search for a Sky referral code, Sky’s Refer a Friend scheme actually works using a unique referral link rather than a traditional promotional code that you enter at checkout.

Existing Sky customers who join the scheme receive their own unique referral link, which they can send to eligible friends and family.

The person joining Sky needs to start the referral process through that link and, importantly, return to it after ordering to enter their new Sky account number.

Miss that last step and the referral may not count.

Sky’s current guidance confirms that the new customer needs to revisit the original referral link and enter their new account number after completing the purchase.

How does the Sky Refer a Friend scheme work?

There are a few more steps involved than simply clicking a link and buying something.

1. Start through a Sky referral link

First, follow the unique Refer a Friend link sent to you by an eligible Sky customer.

This registers the referral with Sky.

2. Choose your Sky product

You can then choose an eligible product.

Current qualifying products include Sky Glass, Sky Stream, eligible Sky Broadband packages and Sky Mobile.

The reward depends on which product you choose.

3. Complete your order

You can complete your purchase through Sky’s website, by calling Sky or at a Sky retail store.

4. Go back to the referral link

Don’t forget this bit.

After completing your order, return to the original referral link and enter your new Sky account number.

Sky says this is required to confirm the purchase as a referral. If you’ve purchased more than one eligible product, make sure you enter all the relevant account numbers.

Sky’s published guidance emphasises this requirement.

5. Get your service activated

Your Sky Glass, Stream or Broadband service needs to be installed, or your Sky Mobile account and SIM activated.

6. Pay your first bill

You’ll then need to make your first Sky subscription payment.

7. Wait until the cooling-off period has passed

You won’t receive your voucher immediately.

Your cooling-off period needs to have ended, and Sky then allows another two weeks before inviting you to claim your reward.

The current guidance says the reward arrives by email once the service is active, the first bill has been paid and two weeks have passed after the cooling-off period.

How much is the Sky referral reward?

The maximum current reward is £100 each, which applies when the person being referred signs up for Sky Glass.

Other products receive smaller rewards.

Sky Glass – £100

Sign up for an eligible Sky Glass package through Refer a Friend and both parties can receive a £100 reward voucher once all the conditions have been met.

That’s currently the largest reward available.

Sky Stream – £50

The current reward for an eligible Sky Stream referral is £50 each.

Be careful with older Sky referral pages here. I’ve seen sites advertising £75 for Stream, but the current terms I’ve received from Sky state £50.

Sky Broadband Full Fibre – £40

Take an eligible Sky Broadband Full Fibre service through the referral scheme and the current reward is £40 each.

Sky Broadband Superfast – £20

The current reward for an eligible Sky Broadband Superfast referral is £20 each.

Sky Mobile – £25 or £15

Sky Mobile works slightly differently because you can qualify even if you’re already a Sky customer, provided you’re subscribing to Sky Mobile for the first time.

The current rewards are:

£25 – SIM plan purchased with a phone or tablet
£15 – SIM-only plan

Can existing Sky customers get a referral reward?

This is where some other referral pages can be misleading.

For Sky Glass, Sky Stream and Sky Broadband, the person being referred needs to be a new Sky customer and live at a different UK address from the person referring them.

Sky Mobile is different.

A new or existing Sky customer can qualify when subscribing to Sky Mobile for the first time.

So I wouldn’t describe this broadly as a referral offer “for existing Sky customers”. Existing customers aren’t eligible to use it to add every Sky product.

The exception in the current terms is Sky Mobile for the first time.

Can I claim a Sky referral voucher after I’ve already joined?

I wouldn’t rely on this.

Some referral sites suggest customers have successfully registered referrals retrospectively, but Sky’s terms say you need to join using the unique referral link and then return to that link after completing your order to enter your new account number.

For that reason, if you want the referral reward, I’d start the process before ordering rather than trying to fix it afterwards.

How long does the Sky referral voucher take?

Don’t expect it immediately after your first bill.

Under the current terms, you need to:

Have the service installed or activated → pay your first bill → pass the cooling-off period → wait another two weeks

Sky says this will typically mean receiving the invitation to claim your reward around 60 days after installation or activation.

Your Sky referral email also says the reward is sent by email 60 days after the person referred joins and pays their first bill.

Recent Sky guidance similarly confirms that the reward isn’t issued until the service is active, the first bill has been paid and two weeks have passed beyond the cooling-off period.

What do you get with the Sky referral voucher?

It’s not a £100 credit added to your Sky account.

You receive access to Sky’s rewards portal, where the reward can be exchanged for a selection of e-vouchers and some physical vouchers.

Sky says there are more than 100 voucher options available.

That’s worth making clear because “£100 Sky referral bonus” can sound as though Sky is giving you £100 cash.

It isn’t cash. It’s a voucher reward.

Can you get more than one Sky referral reward?

Potentially.

The terms state that if you buy more than one of Sky Glass, Sky Stream and/or Sky Broadband, you’ll both receive the highest applicable reward rather than stacking all of those rewards together.

However, if you also buy an eligible Sky Mobile product, you can each receive an additional Mobile reward.

You’ll need to enter all the relevant Sky account numbers after ordering to make sure eligible products are registered.

Do Sky referral vouchers expire?

Yes.

Once issued, an unused reward code expires after 11 months.

So I wouldn’t leave the reward sitting in an email inbox indefinitely once it arrives.

Which Sky products aren’t included?

Not every Sky product qualifies.

According to the current Refer a Friend terms, Sky Q, Sky Broadband Essential and Sky Broadband Essential Plus are excluded.

That’s another reason to check the current referral terms before choosing a package solely because you’ve seen a voucher advertised.

Is the Sky referral reward a discount on your package?

No.

The referral reward doesn’t simply take £100, £50 or another amount off the price of your Sky package.

It’s a separate voucher reward that you receive after meeting the qualifying conditions.

This has caused some confusion among customers comparing normal Sky deals with referral offers. Sky Community guidance also explains that the referral doesn’t provide an additional package discount; the benefit is the subsequent voucher.

Can you combine the Sky referral offer with other offers?

The terms state that the Refer a Friend reward isn’t available in conjunction with other vouchers or incentives.

I’d therefore be careful about assuming you’ll be able to stack a referral voucher with another cashback or incentive.

Compare the total value of any offers available to you before choosing how to sign up.

What happens if I don’t receive my Sky referral voucher?

First, check that you’ve completed every step.

In particular, make sure you:

used the original referral link, entered your Sky account number after ordering, activated/installed your service, paid your first bill and passed the cooling-off period.

The account-number step appears to be particularly easy to miss.

Sky’s current guidance says that if it’s been at least 45 days since the first bill payment and the reward still hasn’t arrived, customers can contact the Refer a Friend team.

Is the Sky Refer a Friend offer worth using?

The important thing is to compare the underlying Sky package first.

A £100 voucher sounds attractive, but Sky is an ongoing subscription, so I wouldn’t choose a more expensive package purely to get a bigger referral reward.

If you’ve already decided that Sky is right for you, though, it’s worth checking whether you’re eligible for the Refer a Friend scheme before ordering. Depending on the product, the current reward is worth between £15 and £100 to both parties.

And remember the step that’s easiest to overlook: after you’ve ordered, return to the original referral link and enter your new Sky account number.

Otherwise, you could miss out on the reward altogether.
