My voucher isn't working

How frustrating! There are a few simple things that you can check first:

  1. Does the box you are ordering match the voucher that you have? For example, sometimes we have an offer on a 3 meal box and the voucher won't work on any other box type.
  2. Be sure you haven't previously used a voucher of that kind. We do have a limit of one promotional 'first box' offer per household.
  3. If you have received an email with a voucher link and it doesn't seem to work, we suggest using Google Chrome to claim your discount and also clearing your browser history and cookies before trying again.
  4. Please also ensure the voucher code is applied in the checkout before proceeding with the order (you will see the applied discount on the right side of the screen)!

    Please bear in mind that voucher codes are not valid on meal upgrades or add-ons.

Why was my discounted box cancelled?

We have a limit of one promotional offer per household on your first box, so be sure to read the Terms & Conditions of the voucher you are attempting to claim. If your discount code is only valid for first-time customers and you have enjoyed a HelloFresh box before sadly you won’t be able to use this voucher.

If you already have an existing account with HelloFresh, we may need to cancel your order so you can reactivate your previous account. We’ll let you know via email or SMS if this has happened.

Can I send free boxes to my friends and family?

Absolutely! Our free first delivery promotion is an offer that we give our customers to spread the HelloFresh cheer. This promotion will be offered to you when you hit certain milestones in the HelloFresh family.

To check whether you are eligible to send boxes, log in to your account and look on the top right of the page for a button called 'HelloFriends'. Click here and the 'HelloFriends' button will show a little red number in the red dot indicating how many boxes you can send. From here, you select 'Send free box' then enter your friend's email address and they will receive an email from us with your gift and instructions on how they can sign up and enjoy their first box on us!

If you can't see a red dot next to 'HelloFriends', please look out for an email which we will send when this offer is valid for you.

How does the HelloFriends program work?

Our HelloFriends program offers you the chance to share free HelloFresh boxes with your friends and family and earn credit in return. They’ll receive a week of free meals and you’ll receive a credit off your next box when they sign up. It's a win-win.

To check whether you are eligible to send boxes you just need to log in to your account and you will see a small gift box with a number on it next to your name at the top right. If you’re using the HelloFresh app, simply choose the ‘HelloFriends’ button at the bottom of the screen. From here, select ‘Share a free box’, enter your friend's email address and they'll receive instructions on how to redeem their freebie.

How do I redeem my HelloFriends credit? Your HelloFriends credit will be applied to your account when your friend signs up to HelloFresh and redeems their free box voucher. Once your friend redeems their free box and places an order, you will receive an email notifying you that your credit is ready to redeem. Simply click the ‘Use Credit’ button and your credit will be activated and automatically apply to your next delivery. If you’re having trouble finding this email, please check your inbox and spam folder.

What do pending HelloFriends credit mean? Under the ‘pending’ balance in the HelloFriends section of your HelloFresh account, you will see a credit for each friend you have sent an email to with the free box promotion.

Please note, the ‘received’ balance will reflect the total credit you’ve received from every referral, not your remaining balance.
