Octopus Referral Code: How to Get £50 Off Your First Octopus Energy Bill — Step‑by‑Step

Switching energy can feel fiddly, but getting your £50 referral reward from Octopus Energy is straightforward when you follow these steps. Read this, complete the checklist, and you’ll be on your way to greener energy and a crisp £50 off.

Why this matters

Octopus often runs a referral reward that gives new customers a fixed discount when they sign up using a valid referral link or code. The key is to follow the process exactly so your referral is tracked and the reward is applied.

Step 1 — Check eligibility

• You must be a new Octopus Energy customer at the meter(s) you’re switching.

• Referral schemes typically exclude accounts that have already been with Octopus at any point; confirm by searching your current supplier history.

• Make sure the referral link or code you plan to use is active and not expired.

Step 2 — Collect the information you’ll need

• Your current energy supplier and account number.

• Your postcode and full property address.

• Details of your current tariff if available (for smoother switching).

• A valid referral link or code from a referrer or partner page.

Step 3 — Start the sign-up via the referral link

• Click the referral link or paste the referral code on Octopus’s sign-up page.

• Confirm that the referral code is shown in the sign-up form or the confirmation screen before you submit.

• If the form doesn’t show the code, don’t complete the switch until you’ve confirmed it’s recognised — contact the referrer or use a verified referral landing page.

Step 4 — Complete the switch form

• Enter your personal details and the property meter information.

• Choose a tariff and any optional extras (e.g., smart tariff) you want.

• Confirm the date you want the switch to take effect. A 17–21 day window is common but can vary.

Step 5 — Keep proof and track the switch

• Save screenshots of the referral confirmation or confirmation email that includes the code or link.

• Note the switch reference number and expected switch date.

• Check your email for switch confirmation from Octopus and for any follow-up about the referral reward.

Step 6 — After the switch completes

• The £50 reward is usually applied as a credit to your Octopus account or as a statement credit — check the confirmation messaging.

• If the reward hasn’t appeared within the timeframe stated in the referral terms (often within one billing cycle), raise a support ticket with Octopus and provide your screenshots and switch reference.
