Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Refer-a-Friend program work?
A friend who is an active EarthLink customer shared a referral link with you. When you sign up for EarthLink internet service through that link and complete 90 consecutive days of active, paid service, you'll each receive a $150 gift card — no codes or forms required.
Q: Do I need a promo code to get my gift card?
No. Your referral is tracked automatically through the unique link your friend shared with you. As long as you signed up through that link, you're all set.
Q: When will I receive my $150 gift card?
Your gift card will be issued after you complete 90 consecutive days of active, paid EarthLink service. You don't need to do anything - it's sent automatically once you hit that milestone.
Q: Does my friend get rewarded too?
Yes. This is a two-sided reward. Once you complete your 90 days of active service, your referring friend also receives a $150 gift card, up to $450 in a calendar year.* You both win.
Q: Is there a limit on how many people can refer me?
Only one referral can be applied per new customer account. If more than one person sent you a link, the first one used at signup will be the one that counts.
Q: Which plans are available through this program?
All EarthLink residential internet plans are available at standard pricing. There are no special discounts tied to this program — the reward is the $150 gift card itself.
Q: Can I still participate if I was previously an EarthLink customer?
Yes, if you have not been an active EarthLink subscriber within the last 6 months, you are eligible to participate as a referred new customer.
Q: What if I cancel my service before 90 days?
The $150 gift card is contingent on completing 90 consecutive days of active, paid service. If service is cancelled before that milestone, neither party will receive the gift card for that referral.
Q: Do standard router fees or contracts apply?
Standard router fees apply. A 12-month or 24-month price lock applies depending on the plan selected. Some plans are available with no contract — see plan details for specifics.
Q: I have more questions. How can I reach EarthLink?
