Gousto Referral Code
£20 credit — and it expires in three months
Gousto is a UK recipe box delivery service. Referring a friend gives you £20 in account credit when they make their first purchase, and gives them 65% off their first box plus 25% off other boxes in their first two months.
Genie Says
Gousto gives £20 in credit when a referred friend makes their first purchase, with the friend getting 65% off their first box — but credits expire after three months, which is short for a service people routinely pause. The referral cap is 20 friends per calendar month, resetting on the 1st rather than on a rolling window.

Why Choose Gousto?
Short for a recipe box service, where pausing over a holiday or a busy period is normal. Pause for two months and the £20 is gone.
20 friends per month, resetting on the 1st — so the 28th and the 2nd fall in different periods if you are near the limit.
The introductory discount makes the first box look cheap. The price afterwards is what your friend is actually deciding on.
About Gousto
Gousto's referral is generous on both sides and has an expiry that quietly removes the value if you are not ordering regularly.
Gousto pays £20 in account credit when a friend you referred makes their first purchase. Your friend gets a substantial welcome offer of their own — 65% off their first box, and 25% off other boxes ordered in their first two months, excluding delivery.
The condition that costs people money is the expiry. Credits must be used within three months or they lapse.
Three months is short for a recipe box service, and the reason is worth thinking about. Recipe boxes are something people subscribe to, pause, and come back to — pausing over a holiday, when work gets busy, or simply when they get tired of cooking. A credit that expires in twelve weeks assumes continuous ordering, and someone who pauses their subscription for a couple of months will find the £20 gone when they return. If you earn Gousto credit, use it on your next box rather than saving it for a week when you are less organised.
The referral cap is 20 new friends per calendar month, resetting on the first day of the next month. That is a high ceiling, but note that it runs on calendar months rather than a rolling window — referrals made on the 28th and the 2nd fall in different periods, which matters if you are ever near the limit.
Two practical points on the mechanics. The credit lands when your friend makes their first purchase, not when they sign up — recipe box services attract a lot of browsing, so a signup that never converts pays nothing. And their discount excludes delivery, so the 65% applies to the food rather than the total.
On recommending it honestly: recipe boxes are considerably more expensive per meal than shopping for the same ingredients, and the thing they actually sell is the removal of planning and portioning rather than value. The introductory discount makes the first box look cheap, and the full price afterwards is the number your friend should be deciding on. Worth saying, because a heavily discounted first box followed by an unexpected full-price second one is the standard complaint about this entire category.
