Referral offers are for new customers. Never pay full price so a referrer earns a reward. Check today’s discount and the price of your next order. Part of the referral savings handbook (https://pharmacyhopper.co.uk/referral-savings/) · The examples show the sums. They are not live pharmacy prices. ## A friend’s referral link should save you money A friend can like a pharmacy and still send you an offer which is poor value for you. Thanks should not cost you more. You can thank them for the tip, check the service and buy elsewhere if another option costs less. Our rule: no saving for you, no reason to use the referral link . A reward for the person sharing the link is no discount for you. Credit against a future order is also different from money off today’s bill. The rule does not mean refusing every pharmacy without a discount. An ordinary price elsewhere may beat a heavily discounted one. Aim to avoid overpaying, and ignore the size of the coupon. ## Referral codes work at a pharmacy you have not used Referral offers are for new customers. MedExpress, for example, gives its referral discount on the referred customer’s first eligible order. A code for the pharmacy you already use will not cut your next order. So skip the hours in Facebook groups and forums hunting for a code for your current pharmacy. You are a new customer at every pharmacy you have not used. Use a friend’s link there, or check Monj, iGovy, Ogovy or Dayo for the lowest first-order price. Read how to switch pharmacy every month (https://pharmacyhopper.co.uk/guides/switch-pharmacy-every-month/) safely. ## Three checks before you use a referral offer - You qualify. Check whether “new” means new to the pharmacy, new to the service or new to treatment. Read the exclusions and answer honestly. - You get the advertised benefit. The discount should show in the total you pay. If the reward works another way, the pharmacy should explain the reward clearly. - The final deal is worth having. Compare the same order, compulsory fees, support and commitment with another suitable option. A referrer’s word does not replace the company’s terms. If you are unsure whether you qualify, ask the pharmacy before you commit. ## Who gets what from a referral discount Write two separate lines: “My benefit” and “Their benefit”. For example, MedExpress describes a first eligible order discount for the referred customer and account credit for the referrer after approval and dispatch (https://www.medexpress.co.uk/referrals). A “give and get” headline adds both together, so the headline makes your own saving look bigger. WORKED EXAMPLE · INVENTED FIGURES A banner offers £50 for you and £50 for your friend. Your benefit is £50. The £100 total is not your saving. If your eligible £210 order drops to £160, compare £160 with the other options. Your friend’s reward does not cut your price any further. ## What to do if the referral discount is missing at checkout Check the final order summary after you pick your exact prescribed product and delivery address. If the discount is missing, contact the pharmacy before you pay. Do not assume a full-price charge will be fixed later. Keep a copy of the offer terms and the quote. Do not share private health details with the referrer. Use the missing-discount checklist (https://pharmacyhopper.co.uk/guides/referral-discount-not-applied/) to sort out the problem. Do not keep reapplying or place duplicate orders while you try different links. ## Check the price of your next order now A first-order deal says nothing about what later orders cost. Find the next price and any cancellation limits now. If the offer needs a commitment, compare the cost of the whole commitment. Do not plan on leaving after one cheap order. Start your shortlist with Monj, iGovy, Ogovy or Dayo for your treatment (https://pharmacyhopper.co.uk/where-to-compare/), then confirm terms with the pharmacy. Shop on price within the treatment your prescriber has already agreed. ## Frequently asked questions Can I use a refer-a-friend code at the pharmacy I already use? Referral offers are for new customers. MedExpress, for example, gives the discount on a referred customer’s first eligible order. Use a friend’s referral link at a pharmacy you have not used, and only when you get a confirmed saving. Should I use a friend’s referral link for weight-loss treatment?

An ordinary price at another pharmacy may still be lower. If a referral offer says £50 for you and £50 for your friend, how much do I save? You save £50. In an invented example, an eligible £210 order drops to £160, so compare £160 with other options. Your friend’s £50 reward does not cut your price any further. What should I do if a referral discount does not apply at checkout? Contact the pharmacy before you pay, and do not assume a full-price charge will be fixed later. Keep the offer terms and the quote. Do not keep reapplying or place duplicate orders while you try different referral links. How does the MedExpress referral scheme work? MedExpress describes a discount on the referred customer’s first eligible order and account credit for the referrer after approval and dispatch.
