Best broadband rewards 2024: Cashback, voucher and free gift offers
Dan Howdle | February 19th, 2024
What's the best cashback, voucher or free gift deal right now?
Not all providers offer cashback, voucher or gift rewards to new customers, but generally the big ones tend to, if not all the time. So depending on when you look you may find some sort of cashback or voucher or free gift reward from the likes of Virgin Media, BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Plusnet and Vodafone. It's somewhat more rare from smaller providers since they tend to compete more on price than free stuff. This blog is regularly updated to reflect the best deals right now. Below, you'll find our pick of the best deal from each provider offering some sort of sweetener into the deal in the form of cashback, vouchers or free gifts.
The best reward deal
Before we pluck out the best deal by provider, here is the best of the best. That is to say the single best cashback or voucher deal we could find right now:
Sky Superfast
£60 gift card
This 61Mbps Sky Superfast deal comes with an £60 gift card, reduced set-up fee of just £5 (usually £19.95), and an excellent router. 61Mbps may not sound like a lot when compared to some of Virgin Media's higher speeds or any of the raft of full-fibre broadband deals available from providers including Sky. But, you could stream 4K movies to three separate TVs at the same time with 61Mbps, so at the end of the day it's all relative to what you can and can't do with the speed. You can do pretty much anything with this package, and the £60 voucher reward, low, low price and lack of set-up fee make Sky's Broadband Superfast very tempting indeed.

Best Virgin Media reward deal
M125 Fibre Broadband
£95 bill credit
Normally, if anyone asks us which broadband deal to get as a flat question, this is the one we recommend, if you can get it (since Virgin Media is only available to around 55-60% of UK households). At 132Mbps, this deal is ridiculously fast – no household really needs more. And, in this case you'll get £95 back as bill credit, and Virgin Media has waived its usual set-up fee. A great deal, but because not everyone can get it, it would be our second choice right now.

132Mb average speed
- Unlimited monthly downloads
- Zero one-off cost
- 18 month contract
- No phone line
Reasons to buy
- Faster speeds more widely available
- More reliable than others
- You don't need a phone line
Reasons to avoid
- Can be pricey outside of sale time
- Not available everywhere
- Harsh cancellation fee policy
Best BT Broadband reward deal
Fibre 2
£50 reward card
It may not be the fastest broadband deal in the world, but BT's Fibre 2 is a solid choice. Not least because 67Mbps is perfectly adequate for most households, but also because BT's service is premium in the extreme. You'll get one of the best routers in the biz, stellar customer service and seamless installation. The £50 reward card you'll also get with this deal is a bonus, but at the time of writing there's no money off and no free set-up – we've definitely seen better deals from BT. So if BT is your chosen provider, we recommend keeping an eye out over the next couple of weeks.
- £50 Virtual Reward Card
-
67Mb average speed
- Unlimited monthly downloads
- Zero one-off cost
- 24 month contract
- No phone line
Reasons to buy
- Up to 900Mbps broadband
- Great router, 'unbreakable' Wi-Fi
- Reliable 'complete' Wi-Fi
Reasons to avoid
- Expensive, and best features cost extra
- Limited availability for Full Fibre packages
- Long contracts
