WOWI'm dreading August as my fixed tariffs expire. My current Octopus Go tariff is 15.33p Day, 5p for the 4 hour window and 25p daily standing charge.
My gas is 2.82p and 21p daily standing charge.
Not exactly true - if you are on the variable rate with your current supplier and you switch to octopus with someone’s referral code - you get £50 credit, so you’re basically saving yourself £50 by switching to the octopus variable tarriff (which can be done I’ve asked them as I’ve switched some mates over to them!).
when you sign up you can then switch your friends and family over via your code and you get £50 credit too - but I’d only do it if you’re on the variable, or looking to go to octopus Go or go faster or intelligent (even if the octopus go rates went up today!)thanks mate applied the referral today on you code. it was accepted you should get the £50Not exactly true - if you are on the variable rate with your current supplier and you switch to octopus with someone’s referral code - you get £50 credit, so you’re basically saving yourself £50 by switching to the octopus variable tarriff (which can be done I’ve asked them as I’ve switched some mates over to them!).
If you want to switch to their variable, you need to call them to do it - you can’t do it online - and if you want a referral code to save yourself £50 you can use mine (gray-fern-7875) or anyone else’s!
You just need to quote it on the call
Not a problem! £50 your way! £50 my way! Saves everyone money on the variable (or go, or go faster etc). Thanks for using that!
yea Octopus is great service I was with ovo absolutely appalling.Not a problem! £50 your way! £50 my way! Saves everyone money on the variable (or go, or go faster etc). Thanks for using that!
Basically you’ll be paying a minimum of £50 less with octopus now, compared to the standard variable you were on before with another company as the rates are all the same. It makes so much sense!! May as well get something more out of it! Also if you go onto Octopus Go or Octopus Go Faster, obviously you get the cheaper night tariff of 7.5p/kWh.
Also - If you refer enough mates, the referrals should be able to pay your electric for the year (if not longer!) so better in the long run! Also octopus electric 100% renewable and also customer service is class!!
My favourite thing - you can change your hold music to a song you prefer, rather than the standard hold music - although I really enjoyed their standard music too!!
Yeah - I was British Gas before Octopus - couldn’t be more different! So much better!!!
14 days that's the cooling off period that thay have to comply with. They should have given you a change over date. mine is 14th April once you become a customer you can switch to Go.
Yeah they did and I have switched over. But they switch you onto the variable tariff and you cannot move onto go until they are communicating with your smart meter with half hourly readings. The guy on the phone who put my switch through told me that whilst this can take up to 14 days that it usually happens pretty much on day 1. He said chevk the app and if you see half hourly readings call them up and they will put you on go.
