How to Get the New Starlink Family Plan

If you’re a Starlink customer, the satellite internet giant wants to recruit your family members to its service with discounted hardware and subscriptions. The Starlink Family plan was announced on a support page in August. It is the latest in a series of new ways to purchase Starlink at reduced prices.

The Family plan allows current customers to buy additional Standard Starlink kits for $199 with a fixed residential plan for $100 per month. It's currently only available through invite-only and is limited to two additional subscriptions per account. According to the invitation that a Reddit user shared, this deal is available until September 3.

To take advantage, look out for an email from Starlink, or check your account. Under the 'Your Starlinks' section of your account, click the + button. Enter your family member's address and select Residental. In the checkout screen, you'll see if the Family plan discount can be applied.

The main account must continue paying for the service plan at full price for the discount to apply to the other kits.

The discount only applies to fixed-location plans and excludes the newly released Starlink Mini and any mobile plans. Depending on the terms of the family plan, a possible use case could be for customers who want a fixed-residential plan for a home and a mobile plan at the same time for a discounted rate. 

The family plan discount joins other recent new promotions aimed at selling more Starlink kits in the U.S. It recently discounted the price of its Standard kit from $499 to $299 until October 5. In addition, new customers in certain states are eligible for a $100 credit toward service, effectively lowering the upfront cost of Starlink to $220.
