Losing weight is hard when you go it alone, and sustainable long-term weight loss usually requires the support, community, and accountability of others. That social component is a pillar of popular weight loss programs like Weight Watchers and Noom.
While Weight Watchers offers optional in-person and virtual workshops, you might want to also consider embarking on your weight loss journey with a friend. WW encourages members to invite others, and will even give you a free month for referring a friend.
Are you already a member? Here’s today’s featured membership offer (view all) plus how you can get a free month for referring each friend.
How Do You Refer a Friend To Weight Watchers?
Here’s how to invite a friend to join WW and get credited for a free month:
- Log in to your WW account
- Invite a friend or your spouse from this page on weightwatchers.com.
- An email will be sent to them with your special invitation link and an offer for 3 free months
- If your friend signs up, you will be notified by email, and after 2 weeks your account will be credited with a free month!
*If you are in Canada, you can refer a friend from this page
Your one-month time credit will be applied by extending your next recurring billing date. Your friend will have the option to include weekly workshops when joining which many women and men find worthwhile. Consider attending the same meetings for more support, accountability, and comradery.
Tip: If you provide your friend’s email information, WW will only use it to email them once on your behalf and will not use it for other purposes.
Does WW have a friends and family discount?
Although there is no specific discount for family or friends, WeightWatchers encourages you to invite a friend with today’s best promotion, and you’ll get a free bonus month for the referral!
WW Refer a Friend Not Working?
Did your friend sign up through your referral link but you still didn’t get your free month? Here are the terms from WeightWatchers.com:
“To be eligible for the free additional month, your friend must purchase a new WW membership plan and continue for at least 2 weeks after purchase. Your membership must be active at the time of processing. After these criteria are met, you will receive an email confirming your additional month time credit. This one month time credit will be applied by extending your next recurring billing date. Processing of the time credit may take up to 2-4 weeks. If you signed up for a multi-month Commitment Plan, the free month will extend the Commitment Plan period by one month”

If you still don’t see a referral credit after 4 weeks, contact WW with the subject line, “friend referral not working,” with a brief explanation and your friend’s email address. They should be able to fix the problem.
Closing Thoughts:
Paulo Cohello once said, “Friendship isn’t a big thing, it’s a million little things.” So, if you have a friend who might benefit from Weight Watchers, invite them to join and support each other!
If you aren’t sold on WW, we also have some great coupons for Nutrisystem here including their partner plan. Thinking of rejoining? You can do so for as little as $10 and might even get a free scale.
Good luck, and thanks for stopping by Black Alliance!
