Got friends, family, or neighbours looking for a cheaper fibre plan? We’ve got awesome news for both of you!

We’re super excited to launch our brand-new Mates Rates referral promotion. Because great broadband is best shared with mates, we’re rewarding you and anyone you bring onboard with great savings on your monthly bills.

What’s in it for you?

For you (the Referrer): Get $30 off your next 3 monthly bills for every mate who successfully joins WiFiConnect using your unique referral code (that’s up to $90 off per referral!).

For your Mate: $20 off their first 3 monthly bills when they sign up for fibre with your unique referral code (that’s up to $60 total savings!).

How it works

  1. Grab your referral code: Check the bottom of your latest invoice for your unique referral code. Can't find it? Email fibre@wificonnect.co.nz and we'll respond with your unique code.
  2. Pass it on: Share your code with friends, family, or neighbours who are ready to make the switch.
  3. Signup with the code: Your mate needs to enter your unique referral code when signing up.
  4. Enjoy the discounts: Once your mate is connected with us, we’ll automatically apply your discounts on your upcoming invoices.

Ready to start saving? Grab your code and start sharing the today!

Eligibility

To participate in the Mates Rates promotion, an eligible customer ("Mate") must be referred by an active WiFiConnect customer ("Referrer") and successfully activate a new WiFiConnect Fibre internet service.

  • A Mate must be a new prospective customer who has never been a WiFiConnect customer and who is not in a household with an existing or past WiFiConnect customer.
  • A Mate must sign up for a Fibre connection (subject to availability on the Chorus Fibre Network).
  • A Mate can have only one Referrer but a Referrer may refer multiple Mates.
  • A Referrer must be a current WiFiConnect customer with an active connection.
  • The Referrer and the Mate must be distinct individuals residing at completely separate physical addresses.

Terms & Conditions

  • This promotion is only applicable when the Referrer’s unique referral code is entered at the time of sign-up. Referral codes cannot be applied retrospectively.
  • The Mate and/or Referrer discount will be adjusted proportionally to reflect a customer's billing frequency (e.g. a Mate will receive $10 off their first 6 fortnightly bills).
  • Discounts for a single referral are issued over a 3-month period. Should a Mate's service terminate, suspend or disconnect mid-term, the Referrer’s discounts (if applicable) will be adjusted pro-rata to cover only the Mate’s active dates.
  • Multiple Mate and/or Referrer discounts are not stacked on the same billing cycle and will roll over to subsequent billing cycles (e.g. a Referrer will receive $30 off their next 6 monthly bills when referring two Mates, or a customer receiving $20 off their first 3 monthly bills as a Mate will receive $30 off their 4th, 5th, and 6th monthly bills when referring another Mate).
  • This promotion cannot be combined with any other discount, promotion, or special pricing unless explicitly stated otherwise.
  • A Referrer discount is forfeited if a Referrer is on an existing discounted rate or special pricing (unrelated to the Mates Rates promotion) at the time of referral; however, their eligible Mate can still receive their Mate discount.
  • Discounts apply exclusively toward WiFiConnect service charges, are non-transferable, and cannot be refunded or redeemed for cash.
  • A Mate and/or Referrer discount is immediately forfeited if the customer account is terminated.
  • Referrers must not misrepresent WiFiConnect or make misleading statements regarding WiFiConnect services.
  • Self-referrals, referrals using alternative contact details for the same person, and referrals within the same household are strictly prohibited and will result in the immediate forfeiture of all associated discounts.
  • WiFiConnect reserves the right to request proof of identity and proof of address to verify eligibility. Failure to provide requested documentation, or reasonable suspicion of promotional abuse, will result in the rejection or forfeiture of discounts.
  • All standard WiFiConnect terms and conditions apply.
  • WiFiConnect reserves the right to end or modify the Mates Rates promotion at any time without prior notice by updating these terms at wificonnect.co.nz.
