If you’ve been considering getting one of Peloton’s new Bikes, Treads, or Rows, this might be the time—as long as you know someone who is already an All-Access Member. Until Nov. 11, referral codes from existing members get you more money off your hardware purchases.

The discount details

Last month, Peloton rolled out upgraded versions of its fleet, including the Bike, Bike+, Tread+, Tread+, and Row. The new devices are known as the Cross Training series and, as such, are named the Cross Training Bike, Crosstraining Tread+, etc. If you want to know how they differ from the old models, I wrote an explainer here, but the basic gist is that the proprietary touchscreens on which you follow guided classes now swivel around, making it easier to hop off your machine and do, say, a strength or yoga class. The Plus line also comes with a movement-tracking camera that uses AI to correct your form, suggest when it’s time to add more weights or reps, and monitor your workouts.

As you can assume, these are pricier than their predecessors, which is why the current referral promotion might be of interest to you. If you get a referral code from an existing All-Access Member, here’s what you can get off at checkout:

• $300 (instead of the usual $250) off your cart when you purchase a new Peloton Cross Training Bike

• $700 off your cart (instead of $500) when you purchase a new Peloton Cross Training Bike+

• $500 off (instead of $300) when you get a Peloton Cross Training Tread

• $1,200 off (instead of $600) a purchase of a new Peloton Cross Training Tread+

• $200 off a new Peloton Cross Training Row+

All the discounts will return to normal after Nov. 11. (Note: This probably isn’t the best time to get a Cross Training Row+, as the typical referral discount on that is $300.)

Your referrer has to be an All Access Member, not someone who uses one of the less-expensive, app-only versions of Peloton’s digital offerings. The referrer can’t be renting their machine, their membership can’t be paused, and they can’t be a Peloton employee.

Notice, too, that this specifically applies to new devices. That means you can’t use the referral code to get money off a purchase on Peloton’s resale platform, Repowered, although that’s always a solid option if you’re looking for equipment on a budget. You don’t have to have the Cross Training series to get a good workout (although I enjoyed my demos of those devices); I have been using the same Peloton Bike for nearly five years and love it—I ride it every day.

You can redeem your code on the Peloton website or at Peloton stores. Bear in mind, however, you have to be a new customer.

How to find a referral code

If you want to be the referrer, not the referee, here’s how to generate the code that will get you some brownie points with your fitness-focused friends. The easiest way is to go to this link and log into your Peloton account.

Otherwise, head to members.onepeloton.com and select the hamburger menu in the top right corner, then hit Refer friends. If you’re not seeing that or the link above didn’t work, you’re not eligible to share a code. You can also do this on your mobile app by tapping the Community tab, then Add Friends on the upper right, then Refer Friends.

Remember how I said you’ll get brownie points with the people you refer? You get something else, too: You can give out up to $1,200 in referrals, but you also get a free month of your All Access Membership for every person you refer. Once someone makes a purchase with your code, you’ll get en email containing a code of your own, plus instructions on how to redeem it, after three to five business days. The voucher codes are valid for three months after their issue date.
