You can use Youtube Premium for up to 12 months free when you refer more people to use the premium service with Youtube’s new referral programme. This offer is available via the YouTube app or website and is only available for existing subscribers.
Youtube’s premium plan gives you an Ad-free viewing experience such that you can watch your favourite content creators without any Ads interrupting the content. But it doesn’t end with an Ad-free viewing experience, there is more to it.
Apart from the ad-free viewing experience you, you also get to use YouTube Music as an Android user. Similar to Spotify and Apple Music, Youtube music allows you stream music, view lyrics and other information about a track. To make full use of this application, you need to pay a subscription like you would for Apple Music and Spotify. With Youtube premium however, one subscription covers both Youtube video and Youtube music, such that you do not need a separate payment to use Youtube music.
To access this referral program, take the following steps:
- Head over to your YouTube app or the official website.
- Tap on your profile image.
- Select premium benefits.
- You’d see your unique referral code as you scroll down, copy it and send it to your friends.
The more friends who subscribe, the more discounts you get per month. While the referral does not give you literally free access to the premium services, the discounts amount to you paying next to nothing. With each referral, you get to pay $0.99 instead of the standard $11.99 monthly. This discount will reflect across all YouTube services you make use of with your Google account.
