Credit applied after your first direct debit. No catch.

How it works

Three steps to £50 off your energy bill

Click the referral link

Use the button on this page. The link must be clicked — typing the Octopus URL directly won't trigger the referral credit.

Switch your energy

Enter your postcode and usage details. Octopus handles everything with your old supplier. No interruption to your supply.

Credit lands automatically

After your first direct debit clears — usually 4–6 weeks after switching — £50 is added to your Octopus account.

£100

total credit shared between you and the referrer

Both sides win — that's the point

Octopus Energy's refer-a-friend scheme pays £50 to the new customer and £50 to the person who shared the link. No cap on referrals, and the credit never expires while you're a customer.

Common questions

What people ask before switching

Yes. It's a genuine Octopus Energy referral credit applied directly to your account balance, reducing what you owe on future bills. It's been running since 2023 and is verified active in 2026.

No — this is for new customers switching to Octopus for the first time. If you've previously been on supply with Octopus, you won't be eligible for the referral credit.

No. Octopus handles everything with your existing supplier. Under Ofgem's Faster Switching rules, the switch completes within 5 working days with no interruption to your gas or electricity.

Typically 2–4 weeks after your first direct debit payment clears. It appears automatically — you don't need to do anything to claim it once you've switched via the referral link.

You may be able to add it retroactively. Log into your new Octopus account and enter the referral code, or contact Octopus Energy support within a few weeks of switching. It's not guaranteed, so it's worth using the link from the start.

This is an independent site run by a satisfied Octopus Energy customer sharing their referral link. It is not owned or operated by Octopus Energy. When you switch using the link on this page, both of us receive £50 credit — that's disclosed upfront.
