    Does that mean you have to be with them for 180 days?

    • CR-7 on 23/10/2021 - 11:42

      I honestly can not confirm.

          Generally you can only get cashback/sign up bonuses once every 12 months from energy retailers (that's how I manage my rotations anyway) but it depends on how ecconex do the admin (they process these CR energy deals) you can find their phone number online if you have a look generally they are pretty good at answering questions in my experience and it's better that trying to go through Cash Rewards for info because that's all they'll do anyway.

    • Clarky77 on 23/10/2021 - 12:27

      I joined for gas and I've been with them over 90 days without cashback yet so I think it's gonna be close to the full 180 days. Usually energy deals through CR track in under 60 days from signup in my experience but I kinda new that. My advice is do the maths because if you are a heavy energy user these guys are expensive so you need to decide if cashback is worth it. Electricity wasn't worth the $110 when I looked a couple months ago.

      • a1234my on 23/10/2021 - 13:18

        Can switch after the cashback approved? Or they CR / ecconex willgive rebate after 12 months?

        • Clarky77 on 23/10/2021 - 17:45

          Yes as soon as it's withdrawable you can port out yes. it'll track within 24hrs but if you port out then it won't get verified.
          Is that what you were asking?

          • a1234my on 23/10/2021 - 19:43

            @Clarky77: Porting out after the CR had gone through.
            Porting to a new provider using CR too.
            Will CR give the rebate?

      No, i signed up with them a couple of months ago for gas and switched even before the first meter read because i know their rates were a rip. I made sure only paying them 1 bill otherwise the bonus cash was not worth the hassle. Took the gamble and won this time.

      • a1234my on 23/10/2021 - 17:35

        Comparison sites like comparethemarket.com.au are a scam because retailers pay to be on their site and they don't list all retailers.

        The government run ones like energymadeeasy do not get commissions, include all retailers and are useful tools.

      The Victorian government comparison site is really good if you live here. It'll even adjust the recommendation based on concessions and usage which many of them don't which is super helpful if you are a low energy user esp.

        • Borg on 23/10/2021 - 16:03

          It depends as one has to factor in many things e.g. the rates for other times, the Daily (sac) fee, additional discounts and so on. I pay 0.41c for Peak however ALL other times (Shoulder and Off Peak) are a flat 0.14c. In turn balances itself out and in my case worked out best value when all said and done (less 8% when paid on time). That's with Globird.

          • Mickice on 23/10/2021 - 17:50

            @Borg: 22.6 on and off peak. Qenergy.

            • Borg on 23/10/2021 - 18:36

              @Mickice: Again, it depends. On average, 90% of my power is @ 0.14c so ends up being cheaper. I ran the numbers of Qenergy as a matter of interest. In my case they end up being on avg 38% more expensive across all last 4 quaterly bills. It is very much a individual thing and comes down to circumstance, who your distributor is and so on. For me, either Globird or ReAmped are the cheapest by a fair margin. As noted, it may well be different for your situation. Energy Pricing is complicated comparing them all.

              • Rusty McMusty on 23/10/2021 - 19:29

                @Borg: "For me, either Globird or ReAmped are the cheapest by a fair margin."

                Me too. I was with Globird and moved to ReAmped for a slightly better rate (17.7 KW/h and 94.07 supply). And ReAmped has $50 for referrals.

                • Borg on 23/10/2021 - 19:39

                  @Rusty McMusty: Globird also has $50 referrals. Much of a muchness between the two but Globird ended up over the space of a year 8% cheaper. They charge slightly differently to Reamped i.e. they don't have Summertime Months But with the 8% discount ended up being cheaper. Both are good.

                  • Brodo Faggins on 12/11/2021 - 19:42

                    @Borg: looking to change from Origin to either GloBird or ReAmped

                    what's the 8% discount from? paying via direct debit or? lol

                    currently with no discount on "market rate" ReAmped is $20 cheaper than GloBird per quarter.

                    • Borg on 12/11/2021 - 19:52
                      +1

                      @Brodo Faggins: The 7% is just paying ontime and an extra 1% if you set Auto-payment. Can be direct debit or Credit card. As for ReAmped being cheaper. One needs to base it over a whole year.

                      Reason: ReAmped have "Summertime" rates which is 4 months of the year. During those months they are cheaper by a few percent. All other months they are more expensive so for me Globird are cheaper. I have done the math in detail factoring in all the variables. Your milage may vary as it comes down to your type of use. If ReAmped works out better, then go ReAmped. They are decent and great prices.

                      • Brodo Faggins on 12/11/2021 - 21:03

                        @Borg: Thanks Borg, looks like I'll satisfy that 8%, cheers!

                        As for that $20 monthly comparison for both, I used base figures (no discounts) on previous usage c/kwh + supply cost.

                        So yes simply x4 for very rough yearly calculation, would be ~$80/year if going with ReAmp over GloBird.

                        If ReAmped also has a Summer rate, that will bring ReAmp in more favour again

                        Thanks for sharing your insights!! :)

                        • Borg on 13/11/2021 - 00:00

                          @Brodo Faggins: That depends on how your calcs were initially done I suppose. Globird only have two rates Peak and Off Peak. Shoulder rate is the same as Off Peak. In turn Reamped over the other 8 non summer rate months are a tad more as they do have three rates. Regardless, both are great so you won't be out of pocket no matter which you go with :-)

    Warning to everyone. I had $200 stolen from me by Cashrewards. I signed up to both electricity ($110 cashback) and gas ($90 cashback) via Cashrewards. The tracking conveniently disappeared once the window for tracking enquiries expired. I contacted Cashrewards who offered me no solution and didn't admit fault.

    I called Energy Australia and asked how I signed up to them. They confirmed I had signed up via Cashrewards. Cashrewards had pocketed the commission and I ended up paying exorbitant electricity/gas rates to make up for the cashback I never received.

    Cashrewards also did a similar thing to me with a Youi insurance policy.

    Avoid Cashrewards and Energy Australia.

      • Guybrush57 on 24/10/2021 - 12:55

        I thought about who I could report it to. I always ensure my firewall is turned off, browser security is set to its lowest and all cache/history is cleared before I complete a cashback transaction with only one tab open. I also had Energy Australia confirm to me over the phone that I signed up via Cashrewards so I did everything correctly on my part.

      Just got an email half an hour ago saying that CR had tracked the cashback, and will be finalised by EA. I'm guessing that's 180days after the connection commences. My Electricity bill is about $140 per quarter, so planning to change to another provider once the $150 is approved.

  • Tool on 12/11/2021 - 16:08

    Mine just tracked. Didn't happen automatically, had to raise a request and show them my welcome email.
    Pretty good customer service from CR as usual. Happy with the free $250!
