On Feb 11, 2026, Teslanorth reported customers’ photos of a Starlink postcard offering new Residential customers who buy a kit “a $50 service credit when you sign up for Starlink”. This is background on an offer that has ended, not news. There was no code to type: the card sent people to starlink.com/50-credit or to a phone line. The offer ended Mar 31, 2026.
What the postcard offered
- Who: new Residential customers who buy a Starlink kit.
- What: a $50 service credit at sign-up.
- How: through the web address
starlink.com/50-credit, or by phone. - Fine print: the offer couldn’t be combined with other promotions.
- Deadline: Mar 31, 2026.
The details come from Teslanorth’s report, which rests on photos customers shared of the card. Which countries the cards went to wasn’t confirmed, and this site covers US orders only.
Why it’s worth knowing now
It’s a real Starlink offer, and it arrived the way Starlink’s offers usually reach buyers: as a link or a price, not as a code to enter. starlink.com’s US order flow had no code box when we read its interface text on Nov 3, 2026. A mailed offer, an emailed offer and an address price all reach the order without anyone typing a code.
The “can’t be combined” line is typical too. Starlink attaches similar limits elsewhere: the terms of its Residential Max offer say it can’t be stacked with other offers.
Who it affects
Nobody can use this offer now. It matters to anyone holding an old Starlink postcard, and to anyone who sees a “$50 Starlink credit” mentioned online and wonders whether it’s still running.
What to do now
- Check the date on any mailed offer before acting on it. This one ended Mar 31, 2026.
- Don’t read a working web address as a working offer.
starlink.com/50-creditstill loaded on Nov 4, 2026, but it’s a script-built page, and whether it shows any offer wasn’t confirmed. - If a new mailer arrives, make sure its web address goes to starlink.com itself. Starlink says its own email comes only from @starlink.com.

Questions about this
Can I still use the $50 postcard offer?
No. It ended Mar 31, 2026. The starlink.com/50-credit address still loaded on Nov 4, 2026, but it's a script-built page, and whether it shows any offer wasn't confirmed.
Was there a code on the postcard?
Not one to type at checkout, going by the photos Teslanorth reported on. The card pointed to a starlink.com web address and a phone line.
Did it work alongside other offers?
The card said it couldn't be combined with other promotions. Whether that covered a referral link isn't known.
How do I know a Starlink mailer is real?
Check that any web address on it goes to starlink.com itself. Starlink says its own email comes only from the @starlink.com domain, so a follow-up email from anywhere else deserves a second look.
