Back Market referral programme 2026: €10 for you and your friend on refurbished products

Back Market is a French company founded in 2014 that has become the global leader in refurbished electronics. Its founding insight was to professionalise what had previously been a risky market. Before Back Market, buying a second-hand smartphone meant taking a chance on an unreliable seller without a proper warranty. Back Market imposed strict standards on its refurbishers and a warranty of at least one year on every product. Amounts and conditions checked on 3 August 2026 in the official Help Centre.

What each person receives

The friend receives their €10 as a direct discount on their first purchase, provided the order reaches €100. The referrer receives their reward as a voucher, available in their account 30 days after the friend's order is approved. These vouchers can be accumulated and cannot be exchanged for cash.

The only real pitfall: the friend's purchase history

This is where most Back Market referrals fail, and it is entirely avoidable. Eligibility depends on having "new customer" status: an account created without making a purchase may qualify, but an account with a purchase history will not. A typical case is that your contact ordered a charger from Back Market two years ago, completely forgot about it and then finds themselves ineligible without understanding why. Before starting anything, get into the habit of asking them to check their purchase history. Five seconds can prevent disappointment for both of you.

For the referrer: choose the right moment and make the right case

Get your code from the "Refer a friend" tab in your account area on backmarket.fr. Back Market does not issue a referral link, only this code, and it cannot be used more than 3 times per month.

Timing is everything: Back Market converts customers when the need is real and immediate. A relative whose iPhone is broken, whose PC is running slowly or who wants to get equipped before the new school year is a qualified friend. A contact without a need will not complete their first purchase, and without a purchase there is no reward. Your pitch has two mutually reinforcing angles: savings, at up to 70% less than new products on certain models, and the environment, as every refurbished device avoids the need to manufacture a new one. To overcome mistrust, the decisive argument remains the one-year warranty, which makes all the difference compared with an unprotected second-hand purchase on Leboncoin.

For the friend: choose the grade and apply the discount

Keep the code you received handy before ordering. Registration is quick, requiring an email address, password and delivery details. Make sure you have never purchased anything before so that you retain "new customer" status.

The point worth considering is the refurbishment grade. Back Market offers several levels: "Excellent" means a device that looks almost new, while "Good" may show light signs of use, with a significant difference in price. Choose according to your priority, appearance or budget. At checkout, enter the code and check that the €10 has been deducted before approving the payment. The discount does not apply to baskets under €100.

The twofold benefit in practice

This is what sets this referral programme apart. Buying refurbished rather than new avoids the extraction of scarce resources such as lithium, cobalt and rare earth elements, the energy required to manufacture a new device, and the creation of electronic waste. For a smartphone, manufacturing accounts for a large part of its carbon footprint across its entire lifecycle, so extending the life of an existing device is one of the most effective actions in the sector. This environmental argument, in addition to the savings made, is a powerful way to persuade a hesitant contact. The €10 is not the only benefit worth highlighting.

How Back Market compares with the alternatives

Vinted (€5 for each person) does not operate in the same market: it covers second-hand fashion sold between individuals, not electronics. A contact can be referred to both independently. Leboncoin covers everything but has no structured referral programme or professional warranty, making it less safe for electronics. Refurbed is the direct competitor in the refurbished market, with its referral programme to be checked on refurbed.fr. It is always worth comparing prices for a specific model before buying.

Common questions

Does the friend really need to be a new customer? Yes, with no previous purchases on Back Market. An account with a purchase history is not eligible, so ask them to check before getting started.

Does the €10 work on everything? It applies to the first purchase of a refurbished product, for an order of at least €100. Certain restrictions may apply to categories or discounted products, so check when making the purchase.

Are refurbished products reliable? Back Market checks its refurbishers, supplies every product with a warranty of at least one year and provides a 14-day right of withdrawal. It handles millions of transactions in more than 16 countries.

Check before taking action: the amount (€10 each on orders from €100) and conditions were checked on 03/08/2026 in the Back Market Help Centre and may change at any time. Confirm the terms on backmarket.fr before taking any action. PlanParrainPromo.fr is not a Back Market partner.

In summary

Back Market offers a simple shopping referral programme: an immediate €10 discount for the friend when they spend €100 or more, and a €10 voucher for the referrer, on products that already cost 40 to 70% less than new ones, with a twofold financial and environmental benefit that is rare in this sector. Remember these two essential steps: check that the friend has never bought from the platform and make sure the basket reaches at least €100. Up-to-date conditions are available on the PlanParrainPromo Back Market page.
