Why choose Surfshark’s Refer & Earn?

Surfshark’s referral program lets users of our cybersecurity suite — whether it’s our VPN (Virtual Private Network), Antivirus, Alternative ID, or more — enjoy these benefits:

Share what you already love

Share what you already love

Your Surfshark subscription is already helping you access the web more freely and securely. Offer others the gift that keeps on giving — a VPN app on their favorite devices. Plus, referred friends get free months of their own.

Unlock unlimited earning potential

Our referral program is simple — refer a friend to Surfshark, collect your reward, and repeat. Each additional active Surfshark subscription you bring in translates to more rewards you can take home.

Help friends secure their privacy

A VPN service is key to safeguarding your personal data from hackers and other intrusive third parties. Surfshark’s privacy features help new users boost internet security from day one.

Take advantage of flexible rewards

Take advantage of flexible rewards

The Surfshark app can run on all kinds of devices — Windows, Apple, Android, you name it. Your referral rewards are just as flexible. Earn free months or money in your account — it’s up to you!

What rewards do you get?

When a new user joins Surfshark via your referral link, you can choose between two rewards: money or free months added to your subscription.

Money

If you select money, you’ll earn a commission from any Surfshark purchase your friend makes. You can earn up to USD 38 for each customer who joins via your link. Once you reach the minimum payout amount, you’re able to transfer the funds to your PayPal account.

Money

Extra months

We’ll automatically add free months to your subscription if that’s what you prefer.

If your friend subscribes to a one-month plan, you both get an extra month for free.

If they subscribe to a longer plan, such as a 24-month plan, you both get an extra 3 months for free.

Extra months
Note: Your commission is based on a friend’s initial purchase — not any later upsells or extensions. ​​The commission rate is shown at the top of our Refer & Earn page. To check the minimum payout amount, visit the Rewards & Payouts tab, where you’ll find the target for your wallet.
