Refer-a-friend deals are not a new concept, but it’s fairly uncommon to see them in NBN plans. However, more and more providers are offering customers incentives to get friends and family on board, and you can save some money on a single bill or ongoing bills by referring a mate to your telco.
In this article we’ll be going through refer-a-friend deals you can get through NBN providers. Keep your eye out for a bargain, and depending on the provider and the plan, you could save a lot of money. Keep in mind that this article does not include additional offers.
How does refer-a-friend for NBN work?
Typically, if you can refer a friend to an NBN provider, who then signs up, and you can prove this through the NBN’s own refer-a-friend system, you’re doing it right and you should get the friend referral bonus. Some providers need your friend to use a special URL when signing up for an NBN plan, and some providers need your friend to mention your name and account number at the checkout, but just make sure you know how to get the refer a friend deal before attempting this.
If all is well and you and your friend follow the right referral steps, you could see a credit enter your account, or a discount added to your bill. What NBN providers offer in the form of refer-a-friend discounts vary widely, but we’ve outlined where you can find deals below.
