Glasses Direct Refer a Friend Offer Summary
About Glasses Direct
Glasses Direct is a UK direct-to-consumer prescription glasses retailer offering frames from £15, with home try-on, lens upgrades and free UK delivery on orders over the published threshold.
Refer a Friend Discount
Existing Glasses Direct customers can refer friends and earn a £10 gift card per successful referral (Amazon by default, with M&S, Just Eat and Costa also offered in the dashboard). Referrals are powered by Mention Me, so the mechanic uses your name at checkout — your friend enters your name on the Glasses Direct refer-a-friend page or via the 'Been referred by a friend?' link at checkout, and Mention Me generates them a £35 discount code.
You need to be an existing Glasses Direct customer (you must have bought from them in the past) to join the scheme. Ordering frames from the Premium range counts. There's a cap of 5 gift certificates per 24 hours and 50 per rolling 12 months. Your gift card is issued by email once your friend's order has shipped and the return window has passed.
For a referral to count, your friend must be new to Glasses Direct, place an order containing a frame priced £49+, and have a final order value of at least £49 after the £35 discount. Premium Designer frames are excluded and the discount can't be combined with any other promo code. You can track referrals via the Mention Me dashboard.

Premium Designer frames are excluded from the £35 referral discount. Their wider Premium range is fine and does qualify. The discount also can't be combined with any other promo code, and only one discount is allowed per order.
