Where in the Octopus app do I find my referral code

Open the Octopus Energy app, sign in with the email you used to register, tap Account or the menu, then select Refer a friend or Share and earn. Your personal referral link or a visible button to copy it will be shown there.

Where on the Octopus website is the referral link located

Sign in at octopus.energy, go to your dashboard, and look for Refer a friend, Share and earn, or Account credits. The referral link is usually presented with share buttons for easy copying.

I still cannot find my referral code What should I check first

Confirm your account is active and on supply. Ensure you are logged in with the same email used for signup. If you recently switched suppliers, wait until the move-in or start-of-supply is confirmed because the referral section often appears only after supply is live.

What if my referral link is missing after my account is active

Clear app cache or log out and back in, try the website instead of the app, and check any welcome emails for links. If the link remains missing, contact Octopus support via the in-app help centre or online help for account-specific assistance.

Can I use someone else’s referral link to join Octopus immediately

Yes. You can use an existing referral link to sign up and receive the referral reward. Example link you can use right away: https://share.octopus.energy/dusk-foal-263

When is the £50 referral credit applied

The £50 credit is applied after the referred customer’s first bill has been issued and paid according to Octopus’s referral terms. Timing may vary slightly depending on meter readings and billing cycles.

Are there restrictions on who can be referred

Referral eligibility is subject to Octopus’s terms and conditions. Typically the referred customer must be a new Octopus customer and meet account eligibility rules. Repeat or corporate accounts may have different rules.

Where can I share my referral link for best results

Best performing channels are personalised messages, email to friends and family, private groups, blog posts, and pinned social profiles. Use contextual copy that explains the £50 saving and links to the referral URL.

Why I Switched To Octopus Energy

I've been using Octopus Energy for several years and currently use it to power my home and charge my Tesla Model Y. One of the biggest benefits has been the ability to track my electricity usage in detail through the Octopus app, making it easier to monitor household energy costs and EV charging expenses.

Can You Switch To Octopus Energy?

Yes. Switching to Octopus Energy is straightforward and can normally be completed online in a few minutes.

You can switch from most UK suppliers, including:

British Gas
E.ON Next
EDF
Scottish Power
Ovo Energy
Utility Warehouse
Shell Energy customers transferred elsewhere

What Information Do You Need?

Before starting the switch, have the following available:

Your address
Current supplier details
Bank details for Direct Debit
Meter information if available
Referral link (if using one)

How To Switch To Octopus Energy

Step 1

Visit Octopus Energy using a referral link.

Step 2

Enter your postcode and current supplier details.

Step 3

Choose the tariff that best suits your requirements.

Step 4

Set up your Direct Debit.

Step 5

Submit the application.

Will My Electricity Be Interrupted?

No.

Your electricity supply continues as normal throughout the switching process. The only thing changing is the company responsible for billing you.

Does Switching Affect Your Credit Score?

In most cases, switching energy supplier does not negatively affect your credit score.

Some suppliers may carry out identity or credit checks when setting up an account, but switching itself does not normally damage your credit rating.

How Long Does The Switch Take?

Most switches complete within a few weeks.

The exact timescale can vary depending on your existing supplier and whether any account issues need resolving.

How Does The Octopus Energy Referral Credit Work?

If you join Octopus Energy through a referral link, both you and the person referring you receive £50 credit once the switch has completed.

The credit is applied directly to your Octopus Energy account.

My Experience With Octopus Energy

As a Tesla owner, I've found Octopus Energy particularly useful because of the detailed usage tracking available through the app. Being able to see daily, weekly and monthly electricity consumption makes it easy to understand exactly what my EV charging is costing.

I've also found tariff management and customer support straightforward whenever I've needed assistance.
