You get $100. So do I.
Starlink pays both of us, as cash or service credit, when you order through my referral link and stay two months. Same price either way.
Look for the green $100 banner on Starlink's page, then finish your order in that same tab. How the $100 works
The short answer
Starlink has no promo code system. There is no field at checkout to enter one, and SpaceX does not distribute discount codes to customers, affiliates or resellers. If a website shows you a code like "SAVE50" for Starlink, it is invented — those pages exist to collect ad revenue from people searching for something that doesn't exist.
The one official offer is the referral program. A new customer who signs up through an existing customer's referral link gets $100, as cash or service credit, and the existing customer gets the same $100. That is the entire discount landscape, and it comes from Starlink directly rather than from any third party.
How the $100 actually works
The mechanics matter, because the most common complaint is that the referral "never showed up" — almost always because of a detail below.
| Stage | What happens |
|---|---|
| At order | You open a referral link and Starlink's page shows a green banner confirming $100 each. You complete the purchase on starlink.com, in the same tab. The referral has to be attached at the moment of purchase — it cannot be added afterward. |
| Month one | You pay normally and activate your kit. |
| After two months | Starlink issues $100, as soon as 60 days after activation. By default it is service credit deducted from your next invoice; in the US you can choose cash instead. |

Common questions
What people ask me
Is there a Starlink promo code or discount?
There is no Starlink coupon code — Starlink does not issue them, and any site advertising one is guessing. The only standing discount is the referral program: order through someone's referral link and you and the person who referred you each get $100 in the US, as cash or service credit. There is no code to type at checkout; the link does it, and Starlink shows a green banner confirming the $100 when the page opens. Mine is https://starlink.com?referral=RC-586189-74623-26 — the price is identical either way. You pay your first month as normal, and the $100 is issued once you have been subscribed for two months.
Is there a Starlink discount code or coupon code?
No. Sites advertising Starlink discount or coupon codes are fabricating them. The only genuine offer is the referral program: $100 for the new customer and $100 for the person who referred them, as cash or service credit.
How do I get the $100 Starlink referral offer?
Order on starlink.com through an existing customer's referral link; Starlink's page shows a green banner confirming the $100. You pay for the first month as normal, and the $100 is issued once you have been subscribed for two months. You must be a new customer, on an eligible Residential or Roam plan, and order on starlink.com.
Does Starlink offer a military or student discount?
No. Starlink does not offer a military, student or first-responder discount code for residential service. Regional hardware promotions are applied automatically at checkout based on the service address rather than unlocked with a code.
Why didn't my Starlink referral credit show up?
The most common reasons are that the customer was not new to Starlink, the kit was bought from a reseller or retailer rather than starlink.com, the referral link was not used at the time of purchase, or the subscription was cancelled before two months of service.
Use my referral link
I'm a Starlink customer in Chesapeake Beach, Maryland, running the standard Residential plan at a consistent 100 Mbps down, storms included. Order through my link and you get $100, and Starlink pays me the same once you've been on two months — it costs you nothing extra, and the price is identical either way.
Look for the green $100 banner when Starlink's page opens — that confirms the code took. You pay month one as normal; the $100 is issued once you have been subscribed for two months. Finish your order in the same tab — the referral can be lost if you close it and come back later. Here's the full timeline.
Get the $100 →Why so many sites claim to have codes
"Starlink promo code" is a high-volume search with no real answer, which makes it perfect for low-quality coupon sites. They rank for the phrase, show expired or invented codes, and earn from the ad impressions. You are not missing a code that other people have. There isn't one.
The related searches have the same answer: there is no Starlink coupon code, no discount code, no student discount, no military discount code, and no first-responder code for residential service. Hardware and service prices do change by region and over time, and Starlink occasionally runs its own regional promotions on hardware — but those are applied automatically at checkout based on your service address, not unlocked by a code.
Other ways the cost actually comes down
Since there's no code, these are the levers that genuinely exist:
- The $100 referral — the one described above.
- Choosing the right plan tier. Residential Lite costs less than standard Residential, with the trade-off that it's deprioritized at busy times. For a light-use household that difference may not be noticeable.
- Regional hardware pricing. Kit pricing varies by area and Starlink sometimes reduces it where there's spare network capacity. Check your own address — the price shown to you may not match what someone in another state sees.
- Pausing service. Roam plans can be paused month to month, which matters if you only need connectivity seasonally.
