If you're already an Octopus Energy customer, you could earn £50 credit every time someone successfully switches using your referral link.
The Octopus Refer A Friend scheme rewards both the existing customer and the new customer. When an eligible customer joins Octopus Energy using a valid referral link and completes their switch, both parties receive £50 credit.
If you're looking to switch and claim the current referral bonus, you can use my verified referral link:
What Is Octopus Refer A Friend?
Octopus Refer A Friend is Octopus Energy's customer referral programme.
It allows existing customers to share a unique referral link with friends, family and colleagues. When someone uses that link to switch to Octopus Energy and meets the qualifying requirements, both customers receive account credit.
The referral reward is usually applied automatically after the switch has completed and the new customer's first Direct Debit payment has been taken.
How Much Can You Earn?
The current reward is:
£50 credit for the new customer
£50 credit for the referring customer
There is normally no limit to how many successful referrals you can make, meaning some customers earn hundreds of pounds in account credit over time.
How To Get Your Referral Link
If you're already an Octopus customer:
Log in to your Octopus Energy account.
Open the Octopus Energy app or website.
Navigate to the Refer A Friend section.
Copy your personal referral link.
Share it with friends and family.
Your referral link will be unique to your account.
How To Share Your Referral Link
Many customers successfully share their referral links through:
WhatsApp
Facebook
Email
Text messages
Personal blogs and websites
Community groups
Always ensure people use your referral link directly when signing up.
Common Reasons Referral Rewards Don't Track
Referral rewards can sometimes be delayed or missed if:
The customer does not use the referral link correctly.
The switch is started through a third party comparison website.
The customer abandons the application and starts again without the referral link.
The switch does not complete successfully.
The first payment has not yet been collected.
If a referral reward appears to be missing, contact Octopus Energy customer support with the switch details.
How Long Does It Take To Receive The £50 Credit?
In most cases, referral credit is applied after:
The switch has completed.
The customer's first Direct Debit payment has been taken.
Timescales can vary depending on the supplier being switched from and the status of the account.
Can You Refer More Than One Person?
Yes.
Octopus Refer A Friend allows customers to refer multiple people. Each successful referral can generate an additional £50 reward, subject to Octopus Energy's current terms and conditions.
