If you've been eyeing up Myprotein's Impact Whey, Clear Whey or one of its creatine blends, using a Myprotein referral code before you check out is the simplest way to knock money off a first order. Share or receive a personal referral link and, once the new account meets the minimum spend, £15 comes straight off — no loyalty scheme sign-up, no waiting around, just a discount applied at the basket.
Myprotein has built its reputation on own-brand sports nutrition sold direct to the customer, cutting out the retail markup that pushes up prices on the gym-shop shelf. That direct-to-consumer model, combined with near-constant sitewide sales, is exactly why a Myprotein referral is worth stacking onto your first order rather than shopping without one.
This guide covers exactly what the current Myprotein referral scheme pays out, how to activate it correctly, what the wider Myprotein range and site experience are actually like, and who gets the most value from becoming a new customer this way.
Current verified offer
What the new customer gets: £15 off their first Myprotein order.
Referral code:JOSH-R123H
Qualifying spend: the new customer's first order must total £45 or more for the £15 discount to apply.
How to activate: enter the referral code when creating a new Myprotein account, or add it in the basket, then log in to verify new-customer status before checking out.
Who qualifies: new Myprotein customers only — an account that has never placed a Myprotein order before. A site discount code and a referral code cannot both be applied to the same order; if a site discount is used instead, the referral code is voided.
Timing: the discount applies immediately at checkout once the code is verified and the minimum spend is met, based on Myprotein's own published referral terms.[1]

How to use the Myprotein referral code — step by step
- Browse myprotein.com and build a basket that totals at least £45 — protein powder, snacks, clothing or accessories all count towards the qualifying spend.
- Start creating a new Myprotein account if you don't already have one; the referral scheme is only open to genuinely new customers.
- Enter the referral code JOSH-R123H either during registration or in the basket referral field.
- If prompted, log in so Myprotein can verify you're a new customer and eligible for the offer.
- Do not also apply a separate site discount code — doing so replaces and voids the referral discount.
- Check that £15 has come off your order total before completing checkout.
- Pay and complete your order — the discount is applied immediately, with no waiting period for the new customer.
The mechanics come straight from Myprotein's own referrals and referral FAQ pages, which describe a two-sided scheme: the friend who is referred gets £15 off a first order over £45, and the person who referred them earns £15 of account credit once that order has been despatched.[2]
Myprotein referral review: what you're actually signing up for
The product range
Myprotein is one of the UK's largest direct-to-consumer sports nutrition brands, and the catalogue goes well beyond a single tub of whey:
- Impact Whey Protein — the brand's flagship, best-selling whey concentrate, sold in dozens of flavours and multiple bag sizes.
- Clear Whey Isolate — a lighter, juice-like protein drink aimed at people who find traditional shakes too heavy.
- Creatine — including creatine monohydrate powder and newer creatine gummies.
- Vegan range — pea and soy-based protein powders, vegan bars and snacks for plant-based customers.
- Pre-workout and performance — pre-workout blends, BCAAs, electrolytes and recovery products.
- Bars, snacks and drinks — protein bars, ready-to-drink shakes and healthier snack alternatives.
- Clothing and accessories — Myprotein's own activewear line, plus shakers, gym bags and accessories.
Onboarding and site experience
Creating an account and placing a first order is quick — registration, basket and referral code entry all happen in one flow, and the referral code field is clearly signposted rather than buried. The Myprotein app carries its own exclusive discount layer on top of standard site pricing, which is worth downloading before you place a first order.[3]
Pricing, sales and delivery
Frequent, often deep, sitewide sales are core to how Myprotein prices its range — it's common to see large percentage discounts across nutrition and clothing running for days at a time, which stacks well against a referral discount rather than against it. On delivery, standard UK delivery costs £4.49 and arrives within 2–3 working days, but is free on orders over £55; click & collect works the same way across more than 8,500 collection points. Orders placed before 00:30 also qualify for next-day delivery, and same-day delivery is available for £6.99 in selected West Midlands postcodes.[4]
Rewards and credit mechanics
Beyond the one-off new-customer referral discount, the person who refers earns £15 of Myprotein account credit for each successful referral once the friend's order has been despatched — credit typically lands within 24 hours of despatch, and any earned credit expires after 3 months if unused. Myprotein does not currently run a separate points-based loyalty programme; discovery of savings mostly comes through referrals, the app's exclusive pricing, and rotating sitewide sales.[2]
Support and eligibility
Myprotein's referral terms are explicit that the scheme is for new customers only — someone with an account who has genuinely never completed an order before. If a new customer applies a separate site discount code instead of the referral code, the referral is voided and no reward is earned by either side. Support runs through Myprotein's standard customer services channels, with delivery and referral FAQs published directly on the site.
Limitations worth knowing
- The £45 minimum spend means the discount isn't useful for a very small first order.
- A referral code can't be combined with a separate site discount code — you have to choose one or the other.
- Referral credit earned by the referrer expires after 3 months if it isn't spent.
- Flavour and product quality can vary by individual preference, so it's worth checking reviews on specific SKUs before bulk-buying.
Practical scenarios
- Scenario — first-time gym-goer: someone starting a new training routine wants a whey protein tub, a shaker and a box of bars; building a £45+ basket across those categories brings the referral discount comfortably into play.
- Scenario — switching from a supermarket brand: a shopper currently buying protein powder from a supermarket tries Myprotein's Impact Whey range for the first time, using the referral code to offset the switch to a new brand.
- Scenario — stocking up during a sale: a returning-to-fitness customer times their first order to land during one of Myprotein's regular sitewide sales, layering the referral discount on top of already-reduced prices.
- Scenario — vegan or plant-based buyer: a new customer specifically wants pea-protein or vegan bars, and uses the referral discount to trial the vegan range without committing full price to an unfamiliar product.
Comparing Myprotein's core product ranges
| Range | Best for | Typical use case |
|---|---|---|
| Impact Whey Protein | Everyday whey protein at a lower cost per serving | Post-workout shakes, general daily protein top-up |
| Clear Whey Isolate | Lighter, drink-like protein | Those who dislike thick milkshake-style protein drinks |
| Vegan range | Plant-based diets | Vegan or dairy-free protein and snacking |
| Creatine (powder/gummies) | Strength and performance support | Resistance training, strength-focused programmes |
| Clothing | Activewear | Gym, running and training kit |
| Bars, snacks and drinks | Convenience nutrition | On-the-go protein snacking between meals |
Who gets the most out of a Myprotein referral
- New gym-goers building a first supplement stack who can easily hit the £45 minimum across whey, creatine and a shaker.
- Bulk buyers who plan to order larger bags of protein powder anyway, since larger sizes already lower the cost per serving before the referral discount is applied.
- Vegan and plant-based shoppers curious about Myprotein's vegan protein and snack range but wanting a lower-risk way to try it first.
- Bargain-hunters happy to time their first order around one of Myprotein's regular sitewide sales to combine a reduced sale price with the referral discount.
Referral FAQs
What is the current Myprotein referral offer?
New customers get £15 off their first order when they spend £45 or more and enter a valid referral code such as JOSH-R123H at registration or in the basket.
Is there a minimum spend to use the Myprotein referral code?
Yes — the first order must total at least £45 for the £15 discount to apply.
Can I use a referral code and a discount code together?
No. Myprotein's terms state a new customer cannot apply a site discount code and a referral code to the same order; using a site discount voids the referral code.
Who is eligible for the Myprotein referral discount?
Only new customers — someone who has never previously placed an order with Myprotein — can use a referral code to get £15 off.
How quickly does the referral discount apply?
The £15 discount is applied directly to the order total at checkout once the code is verified and the minimum spend is met — there's no waiting period for the new customer.
What does the person who refers me get?
The referrer earns £15 of Myprotein account credit once the referred friend's order has been despatched, typically credited within 24 hours of despatch; that credit expires after 3 months if unused.
Does Myprotein have a separate loyalty or points scheme?
No points-based loyalty scheme currently runs alongside referrals — savings mainly come from the referral scheme itself, the Myprotein app's exclusive discounts, and frequent sitewide sales.
What happens if my referral code doesn't apply at checkout?
Double-check it's entered in the referral field rather than the general discount code field, confirm your basket meets the £45 minimum, and make sure no separate site discount code has been applied, since that will void the referral.
Verdict
The Myprotein referral scheme is a genuinely transparent, two-sided offer backed by Myprotein's own published terms: £15 off a first order over £45 for the new customer, and £15 of credit for the person who referred them. Given how often Myprotein runs additional sitewide sales on top, using a referral code on a first order is close to a no-brainer for anyone already planning to try its protein powders, creatine or activewear.
