The one revenue stream
Every “claim your £40” button on this site opens my personal referral link from Zen's refer-a-friend scheme (operated by Mention Me). When a new customer registers through it and their broadband goes live, Zen sends us both a £40 eGift card: one to you, one to me. That's the entire business model.
- No display ads.
- No affiliate networks or comparison-engine commissions.
- No sponsored content — Zen has no involvement in this site.
- No sale of data. (See privacy.)
What that means for my incentives
I only get paid if you switch to Zen, so I have an obvious incentive to talk Zen up. Three things keep this honest:
- The downsides stay on the page. My review lists where Zen loses — on price, bundles and Wi-Fi coverage — and the comparison pages tell you when to pick the rival instead.
- Every claim links to a source you can check — Zen's own pages, the official scheme terms, Which? and Trustpilot.
- The reward is identical whichever package you pick, so I have no reason to upsell you.
Advertising rules
Because I'm rewarded for referrals, pages on this site linking to the scheme function as advertising for it under the UK CAP Code — which is why the disclosure sits next to every referral button rather than buried down here. This page just spells it out in full.
The scheme isn't mine
The refer-a-friend programme belongs to Zen and is administered by Mention Me under their terms. Zen can change the reward, the rules, or the scheme's existence at any time, and rewards are issued at Zen's discretion — neither you nor I have a contractual guarantee of payment. I verify the details monthly (last: 1 September 2026) and update this site when anything changes.
