Note: DiDi's NZ referral campaign changed in 2026. Earlier referral links offered a "4× 30% off rides" voucher set, while the current campaign advertises a $40 reward for referred riders. Voucher amounts, split, and trip requirements are set by DiDi; the app shows exactly what applies to your account.

People search "DiDi promo code NZ" and "DiDi discount code", but DiDi's new-rider offer comes through a referral link that unlocks the reward inside the app: there's no checkout code to type. Rewards appear in the app after you sign up and complete eligible trips. More on the terminology: promo code vs referral code.

  2. Download the DiDi app (iOS or Android).
