Up to 12% Off your Electricity Usage Charges - provided you agree to run the account online and via DD payment
If you can't find the offer, call Origin and ASK for it.
when I called them they said it would be on "myaccount" but it wasn't
The call centre agent had to force the deal.
Also there's no exit fees apparently.

Is this for new or renewing customers?
Im based in Vic (comparison is difficult) but I was also 'renewing' my plan with them a few days ago. The best they could do was 19% off electricity and 11% off gas on a similar plan. When I said I was shopping around for better deals (ie. I still think dodo is the cheapest by comparison for consumption charges and discounts) they could suddenly do 29% off electricity and 17% off gas. I know Im still not getting the best bargain but are quite attached to their wireless smart box energy meter so thought Id say with them.
but are quite attached to their wireless smart box energy meter
mine is gathering dust…
Im based in Vic
discounts in different states seem to vary dramatically
Agree totally!
Can you please elaborate or provide a link to the "wireless smart box energy meter" as it sounds useful.

As always with electricity and gas prices always check and compare both the kWh rate as well as the % off, 11% off with x company may still cost more than 5% off with y company.
What is this rubbish… They've had this plan for years… And it was definitely 15% off earlier this year as mentioned by jv… Not a bargain.
ahh just paid via bpay a few days ago, didn't know about this so thanks OP :)
page not found now…
Apply to transfer to another provider & you'll most likely get a call from Origin offering a bigger discount to stay. They called me today but I still switched.
Who did you switch to?
No deal, dodo is 15% off standard and comes with the same added bad service.
Everyone please use the website http://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au to decide or not to change using your last electricity bill usage. Not all retailers charge the same kWh unit price.
Also diff retailers has diff conditions. Make sure you read the conditions before signing up on any as some has diff connection/disconnection fees (ie. moving house) etc.
I'm in regional Victoria and have been doing a number of comparisons between providers. I found Red Energy to be the best (or just a fraction behind Dodo maybe, but I won't touch them).
Used to be with Click until they jacked their prices.
Even though Red's discount seems smaller, it is worth noting that their discount applies to both usage and daily service charge (some of them only apply discount to usage). I'm not sure how they compare for NSW though.
Wasn't it 15% off earlier in the year ???
