TheFork Referral 2026 - 1000 Yums (≈€20)
1000 Yums for the referee (≈€20) and 500 Yums for the referrer (≈€10)
Referral code : 84D9B11C
The TheFork referral gives the referee 1000 Yums (worth around €20) and the referrer 500 Yums (around €10). TheFork (Tripadvisor group) is the leading online restaurant booking app, with a loyalty programme based on points called Yums. Yums are credited about 3 days after the meal made on the first reservation booked with the referral code, and 1000 Yums convert into €20 off a booking at an eligible restaurant. In 2026, the TheFork referral code does not expire and can be shared with an unlimited number of friends.
Who it's for and when
The TheFork referral makes sense if you eat out regularly and book online, since Yums turn into a real discount on the bill at participating restaurants. It is less relevant if you mostly go to venues not listed on TheFork or that do not accept Yums.

Our analysis
TheFork lists tens of thousands of restaurants in France and Europe, with instant online booking, customer reviews and promotions often up to -20%, -30% or -50% off the bill depending on the venue. The Yums programme rewards each honoured reservation. For the referral, the code must be entered at sign-up and the first reservation must actually be honoured: the referee's 1000 Yums and the referrer's 500 Yums are credited about 3 days after the meal. Yums are then used on an eligible reservation, from 1000 Yums (€20) and subject to participating restaurants. Worth noting in 2026: only reservations made on the TheFork app or website earn Yums (not those made via Google or Tripadvisor), the referral code does not expire, and you can use up to 2000 Yums (€50) per reservation.

Frequently asked questions
How many Yums does the TheFork referral give and what are they worth?
The referee receives 1000 Yums, worth around €20 in discount, and the referrer receives 500 Yums (around €10). Yums are deducted from the bill on a reservation at a restaurant eligible for the programme.
When are TheFork referral Yums credited?
Yums are credited about 3 days after the meal made on the first reservation booked with the referral code. The reservation must be honoured: signing up without a meal does not trigger the points.
How do I use the TheFork referral code 84D9B11C?
Download the TheFork app via the referral link, create your account and enter the code 84D9B11C during sign-up. Then make and honour your first reservation to trigger the 1000 Yums.
How much are 1000 and 2000 Yums worth on TheFork?
1000 Yums convert into a €20 discount and 2000 Yums into €50 (or the equivalent in local currency), usable on a booking at an eligible restaurant. The referral gives the referee exactly 1000 Yums, i.e. €20 of value.
Do TheFork Yums expire?
Yes, Yums are valid for one year and usable until the last day of their expiry month. Remember to book at an eligible restaurant before that deadline so you don't lose your referral points.
How many Yums do you need to get a discount?
You need at least 1000 Yums to unlock a discount (€20). The referral lets the referee reach this threshold in one go, whereas Yums earned booking after booking add up more slowly.
Is TheFork free?
Yes, TheFork app and the Yums loyalty programme are free, and booking via TheFork costs no more than booking directly with the restaurant. On top of that you benefit from promotions and Yums.
Where can you use your TheFork Yums?
Yums are used as a discount on the bill at restaurants participating in TheFork's Yums programme. Not all venues are eligible: check the Yums label on the restaurant listing before booking.
Does the TheFork referrer also earn Yums?
Yes, the referrer receives 500 Yums (around €10) for each referee who signs up with their code and honours a first reservation. By referring several people, the referrer can accumulate enough Yums to reach the discount threshold.
Can you combine Yums with TheFork restaurant promotions?
TheFork often offers restaurant promotions (-20%, -30%, even -50%) on top of Yums. Whether they combine depends on each venue and its terms: check the restaurant listing to see if the promotion and Yums can be used together before booking.
Does the TheFork referral code expire and how many friends can I refer?
No: TheFork referral codes never expire and can be shared as many times as you like. There is no limit on the number of friends. Each friend who signs up with your code and honours their first reservation earns you 500 Yums, and receives 1000 Yums on their side.
Do you need to be a new customer and use the app for the TheFork referral?
Yes. The referral is reserved for new TheFork customers (who have never had an account). The friend creates their account via the link, enters the referral code and makes their first reservation from the TheFork app. The Yums are validated once the reservation is honoured at the restaurant.
Do reservations made via Google or Tripadvisor count for Yums?
No. Only reservations made on the TheFork app or website earn Yums. Bookings made through partners such as Google Reserve or Tripadvisor do not. So remember to book directly on TheFork to accumulate your Yums and your referral Yums.
Is TheFork the former LaFourchette?
Yes. TheFork is the new name of LaFourchette, the restaurant booking platform founded in France in 2007 and acquired by the Tripadvisor group. The service and the Yums loyalty programme are the same: the referral therefore works identically, whether you know the brand as LaFourchette or TheFork.
How can you earn more Yums on top of the TheFork referral?
On top of referral Yums, you earn 100 Yums per honoured reservation (200 at a Yums x2 restaurant, 300 at Yums x3), bonus Yums with the promo codes in the app's Promo Codes section, and extra Yums by paying with TheFork PAY (Mastercard, available in France, Italy and Spain). Note: a referral code does not let you also earn double Yums on the same reservation.
