Why I recommend Octopus Energy
What I particularly like about Octopus is how approachable they feel. In my experience, their customer service has always been friendly and relatable, and the company feels human.
Gas and electricity are things we all rely on, and I want to feel comfortable asking questions about my account.
How do I use an Octopus Energy referral code?
The simplest approach is to follow the referral link before starting your quote.
Click the referral button on this website.
You’ll go to Octopus Energy’s website, where you can get your quote.
Check the tariff prices and referral offer before completing your application.
Complete your switch and meet the offer conditions.
You sign up with Octopus directly. You don’t need to send me your bank details, energy bills or account information.
When will I get the £50 referral credit?
For a qualifying Direct Debit referral, Octopus applies the credit after your energy supply has started and your first Direct Debit payment has successfully gone through.
It isn’t an instant discount at the quote stage, so don’t assume it will appear on your first bill. Check the current offer terms for eligibility and payment conditions.
Is this £50 cash or money off my energy bills?
The joining reward is £50 credit on your Octopus energy account, helping towards your energy bills. It isn’t a cash payment for simply clicking the link or requesting a quote.
Is an Octopus referral code free to use?
Yes, there’s no separate charge for using the referral link.
Will switching to Octopus make my electricity and gas cheaper?
That depends on your current tariff, your usage and the Octopus quote available to you.
Compare the electricity and gas unit rates, daily standing charges, any exit fees and the estimated annual cost using the same energy usage figures. A lower monthly Direct Debit alone doesn’t necessarily mean cheaper energy.
The £50 credit is a useful one-off benefit, but the ongoing tariff should make sense for your household too.
