Quick answers before using the referral link

How much is the credit?

Octopus says you’ll get £50 credit once your switch is complete. Check the live Octopus wording before relying on any offer.

When does it appear?

Octopus adds the credit once your supply is active and your first month's Direct Debit has been taken. It is not instant.

What matters most?

Use the referral link for the signup you complete, and keep the same Octopus signup journey open until you finish.

Common questions

Is the £50 credit real?
Yes. Octopus says customers who switch through a valid referral link can get £50 account credit once the switch is complete and the qualifying conditions are met.
When do I get the £50?
The credit is added once your supply is active and your first month's Direct Debit has been successfully taken. It typically takes around four weeks from joining, although delays with the switch can make it take longer.
Is there a catch?
The main limitation is tracking. Use the referral link for the signup you complete, and compare tariffs, meter fit and any fixed-tariff exit fee before you click if you are not sure Octopus is right for you. The credit is not instant; your switch and first Direct Debit need to complete first.

Switching rights and timing

Citizens Advice says you usually have a 14-day cooling-off period after signing up, and that you should chase the supplier if the switch has not completed within five working days of the agreed date.
