Airtel Referral for Fast Lane 5G Postpaid: Steps to Follow

Then, just choose the kind of service you want to refer. You can refer broadband, postpaid, DTH (Direct-to-Home), Airtel Black, and prepaid services of the telecom operator.
Then, users just need to share the referral link generated with their friends or contacts. If the contact or the friend signs up with the service via the referral link, you will get an Airtel coupon of Rs 300. It is not just you, but also your friend who will receive a coupon of Rs 300. This coupon can be applied on the bill of the service you are opting. Note that for prepaid, the referral coupon is of Rs 100 only.

With multiple coupons, you can continue getting discounts on your bills and there’s no limit to how many referrals a customer can make.
To claim the referral coupon benefit, you just need to open the Airtel Thanks app to pay off your bills. Then, at the time of the bill payment, just apply the coupon and you will get an instant Rs 300 off.
Why Did Airtel Rebrand Priority Postpaid to Fast Lane 5G
Bharti Airtel said that Priority Postpaid remains the same service, but its name has been changed to Fast Lane 5G. Fast Lane is something users will also get to see on their phone’s screen whenever they are under the coverage. Users will need to own a 5G SA (standalone) phone to use this service. Airtel does not charge anything extra for this service. Airtel’s service is still under government review to see if it complies with the net neutrality rules set by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI).
