$133.00 Cashback Was $70.00 Cashback

Also go into draw to win a brand new Tesla Model 3 & get $2,000 credit towards their energy bills.

I don't think you can combine with a referral code, however you possibly may get $50 bill credit.
(First page shown when clicked through from shopback says "$50 welcome credit". Not sure if it'll be applied also though.)

        you should all still be within the cool down period.

      • TrustNoBody on 02/08/2023 - 18:18

        it’s been this rate for a few days or you didn’t go through shopback ?

      yeah spewing, I signed up about 10 days ago.

  • iMagoo on 01/08/2023 - 11:52

    I signed up the other day and it tracked pretty quickly - seems well integrated, IIRC the OVO site made direct reference to Shopback

    • Xxmilker69xX on 01/08/2023 - 12:04

      Did you get $50 bill credit as OP mentioned?

      • iMagoo on 01/08/2023 - 12:31

        Haven't seen any evidence of it

      • ezdez on 01/08/2023 - 14:15

        i thought the $50 credit is applied over 12 months?

      • shajiby on 01/08/2023 - 22:33

        nope, the $50 credit is replaced with shopback as the coupon code option (ie didn't double dip for me)

    • ozbarginer201742 on 01/08/2023 - 12:10

      Same here, signed up today and received tracking email 20 minutes later.

    • B-Man02 on 01/08/2023 - 12:32

      Mine didn't track but i followed it up on shopback and looks to be sorted. I clicked through from the shopback link 🤷‍♂️

    Both plans available in QLD an absolute rip off compared to Nectr.

    • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2023 - 11:56

      Plans show up as 2nd cheapest for Ausnet

      • LHSolutions on 01/08/2023 - 12:02

        Let me guess CovaU or EnergyLocals is 1st on the list :)

        • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2023 - 12:22
          +1

          Yup CovaU by $20/y or so.

          Energy Locals rate hikes up quite a bit post 1st August so it's far below in the list.

            @[Deactivated]: I don't trust the VIC Energy Comp site 100%
            My manual calculations show that I`m better of with Nectr which is listed 5th on the list than the top listings.

            I`m kinda kicking myself for not signinup with GloBird (after discount rates locked in for a year):
            Daily usage: 1.03500
            Anytime Usage first 11.18kWh/Day: 0.26680
            Anytime Usage balance: 0.30940

          • FiloGuy on 01/08/2023 - 13:55

            @[Deactivated]: Same. I had either CovaU, EnergyLocals, or Ovo. EnergyLocals' rates are up starting today.

      • TrustNoBody on 02/08/2023 - 18:19

        yeah for me in sydney it’s pretty good rates

    • gumbs on 01/08/2023 - 13:31

      Prices are much better for me on a non-smart meter in Brisbane.

        How is that

  • Peanut money on 01/08/2023 - 12:00

      it says you need to stay 120 days so i doubt that you would get the money before then

    • chunfat on 01/08/2023 - 18:07

      I always wait for the confirmed status before I switch.

      • Peanut money on 01/08/2023 - 20:51

        Cashrewards has 180 days - I like to share business every 30-60 days

        • Guybrush57 on 02/08/2023 - 21:45

          180 days? Sheesh. We could all be dead by then!

  • hanofee on 01/08/2023 - 12:01

    How can we still possibly get additional $50? I tried to click through SB and it's actually saying "code active" just as if we click through referral (or the welcome credit if we don't use any source to click)

  • Xxmilker69xX on 01/08/2023 - 12:03

    What's this $50 bill credit you mention?

    • ozbarginer201742 on 01/08/2023 - 12:08

      First page shown when clicked through from shopback says "$50 welcome credit".
      Not sure if it'll be applied also though.

      • mrgeckoz on 01/08/2023 - 12:28

        I’d say it’s one or the other.

        • delfredo on 01/08/2023 - 12:56
          +1

          I think the welcome credit is paid over 12 months, the SB amount is lump sum payment after a certain period of time (ie. when confirmed).

      • nokia3660 on 01/08/2023 - 23:39

        It is the welcome credit from OVO, if the shopback activation has tracked then this should have switched to shopback. Also the welcome credit is showing as $100 for me (NSW)

  • Jonzay on 01/08/2023 - 12:15

    Do you still get the cashback if you make a profit from your electricity instead of getting a bill?

    • tharlow on 01/08/2023 - 15:31
      +3

      Yes, because your energy provider is making more of a profit than you

  • akula on 01/08/2023 - 12:23

    Ovo vs Amber which is better if you have an EV.

    • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2023 - 12:26

      OVO EV plan markup for normal tariff is too much tho.

    • Heybargain on 01/08/2023 - 12:49
      +3

      ovo if you have better things to do than watch prices consistently.

      maybe amber if you have a battery.

      but do your own sums.

    • rickdwp on 01/08/2023 - 14:11

      OVO but not the EV plan

  • Kas on 01/08/2023 - 12:42

      On SB it clearly states "till 10 Aug."

  • bleemo on 01/08/2023 - 12:46

    Does anyone know if OVO have updated their pricing yet? I recall from the previous OVO deal something about 1st of August being the date for some updated pricing…

    • Ozbjd on 01/08/2023 - 12:48

          +2

          Also shows $205.11 disconnection fee compared to $13-30 for others. I guess they have to get their cash back money back somehow lol

          • legelas on 01/08/2023 - 14:19

            @mrDiscount: if you switch they can't charge you any connection or disconnection fee. You can always dispute the fee if it any higher than on the provider website

          • TrustNoBody on 02/08/2023 - 18:22

            @mrDiscount: the disconnection fee is if you don’t pay your bill and they cut you off

        • Ozbjd on 02/08/2023 - 23:05

          My info when I signed up was locked prices for 12mo, 3228 Victoria

    • dealbrry on 01/08/2023 - 12:52
      +1

      When I signed up in late June they said they would be holding off raising rates until August, but no notices yet so maybe they’re holding off for another month or so?

      • bleemo on 01/08/2023 - 13:07
        +1

        Might be worth waiting for news on this for new signups then.

        I don't think that rates get locked in for 12 months? I haven't seen any wording anywhere to that effect?

        • eagleeyedpixel on 01/08/2023 - 13:16
          +2

          Once you get your quote, it will give you the option to get the Victorian Energy Fact sheet.
          That shows release date of today, and that prices are locked:

          Prices are fixed
          Contract expiry details Your contract will end on the 1st September 2024. On expiry of your fixed term contract, you will be placed
          on a standing offer unless you opt-in to another market contract before then

          • bleemo on 01/08/2023 - 13:42

            @eagleeyedpixel: Not everyone from Victoria hahaha!

            I've followed the link to the South Australia equivalent. Does not show fixed prices anywhere I can see. In fact it says "No Contract Term" right at the top. In fact, right at the bottom it actually says the prices are NOT fixed and that OVO Energy has the right to raise prices.

            Not sure if this is SA specific….

  • t0087669 on 01/08/2023 - 12:48

    Stack with referral?

    • Heybargain on 01/08/2023 - 12:50

      don't think its possible.

  • cooni on 01/08/2023 - 12:56

    Plans have to be active for 120 days for cashback to be eligible

    I don't have personal experience but I'd watch for this. I don't know how it'll work but sometimes in the past I've been back billed to the previous meter reading when switching retailers. Sometimes I've had to wait until the next meter reading before the new retailer starts? Have no idea how it works and how they'll define 120 days.

  • dealbrry on 01/08/2023 - 12:57

    Unsure if still active, but recently Virgin Money were giving 20k points (roughly $100 gift card value) for signing up through them. That was credited to me very quickly, check your app if you don’t feel like waiting.

    • beesider on 01/08/2023 - 13:26

    • machej on 01/08/2023 - 19:06

      Do you have a smart meter? Ovo generally prefer smart meters as they can smooth the bill easier.

    Anyone use their service? How is it?

    Just read through the google review… some comments saying you can’t speak to them over phone. I tried their number, there was no one on the phone, just asked you to email them, even in an emergency situation.

    • Iwantthatbargain on 01/08/2023 - 13:36

      Yes, very difficult to get hold of them. Maybe easier for Sales, but aftersales your queries will be responded after 2 working days

    • Heybargain on 01/08/2023 - 13:48

      Have been with them for a little while now. No issues with electricity usage.
      Haven't needed to call them, emailed them at the very beginning with enquiries about my service and they were quite responsive with next business day replies.

    • bbking18 on 01/08/2023 - 15:14

      I tried to call them a few times and calls were never answered although I tried to select to speak to Sales the last time I rang. Emailed them instead and took quite a few days to get a reply.

    • xyron on 01/08/2023 - 17:58

      In an emergency situation, you should be contacting your distributor (e.g. AusNet or Jemena in Vic), not your retailer.

      Retailers are little more than billing systems these days.

  • Iwantthatbargain on 01/08/2023 - 13:32

    I signed up for OVO energy through ShopBack in April, I had taken the required screenshots to prove the clicks. But both ShopBack and OVO denied me the cashback claim, as they said it was system issue between their integration. Finally ShopBack just compensated me with just $15.
    My mistake was I didn’t raise the issue within 30 days, as the move in to the house was on a future date.

    • rickdwp on 01/08/2023 - 14:18
      +2

      This is my experience with ShopBack in general. Takes more time and effort to claim a pittance then it's worth.

    • Nirmitha on 01/08/2023 - 14:30

      had the same experience with Cashrewards and Ovo Energy. Rejected with no reason. Ovo's systems have broken all over right now so maybe that's got something to do with their integration or their just being sneaky. They literally can't even issue a bill to me (direct debit still magically works..) after 4 months. Ticket still open in my case.

      • Iwantthatbargain on 01/08/2023 - 22:17

        Same case with me. They have been charging me a flat amount of $150 every month, without meter reading, even after I told them that my bill should be lower as I have solar panels. I have now raised a complaint with NSW Energy ombudsman against OVO.

  • Jayblesz on 01/08/2023 - 13:34

    Ovo has some pretty bad ratings on productreview for their billing and changing suppliers. Anyone had any issues?

    • Heybargain on 01/08/2023 - 13:48

      none so far.

    • Pidapipo on 01/08/2023 - 14:11

      I was with them for 2 years and had zero issues. I contacted them twice using email and chat, both went well.

    • Nirmitha on 01/08/2023 - 14:28

      Yes. Signed up in May via Cashrewards. The only Cashrewards sign up that got rejected after 90 days (unclear why, ticket open). And Ovo's billing has been down so I'm yet to see a bill. Customer service was good at the start, then radio silence. Most I got was "billing system broke, we fix now…". On my way out as soon as the Cashrewards bit is sorted out.

      In terms of portal and usability - Simply Energy has been great. the online tracker is up to date and lets you check usage by the hour. Good charts.

  • Twitterhandle on 01/08/2023 - 13:44

    Trying to reach customer service is next to impossible. They want a smart meter for their EV plan but they dont install the same. Anyone in the same boat?

    No thanks. Signed up for an ovo plan through these guys 4 weeks ago. I then needed to cancel the plan during the cooling-off period and they were completely unreachable via their phone number.

    • triple a on 01/08/2023 - 14:49

        Just to be clear here, econnex (who are the shopback partner) were the ones that were dodgy, not Ovo Energy.

        OVO Energy customer support were amazing in resolving my issue so if you can bypass Shopback, i'd advise to do so.

        • bargain_knight on 01/08/2023 - 19:19

          This deal is not with Econnex, it is with Ovo Energy directly. There is $171 cashback with Econnex. But I avoided that one.

          • hash88 on 01/08/2023 - 20:20

            @bargain_knight: Oh yeah, thats true. My bad… i thought it was through econnex. In that case, this is an awesome deal as Ovo Energy customer support were great in allowing me to cancel during cooling-off period.

            • Member 0230 on 02/08/2023 - 21:59

              @hash88: Thanks for sharing that experience with econnex. Btw, can you un-neg a bargain, or is it locked in? (Tells you how many times I've negged deals!)

  • Andy Nguyen on 01/08/2023 - 14:55

    Last time, signup new nbn via compare nbn on shopback. Transaction doesn't even got tracked.
    Not sure if this one get tracked properly.

    • bgazer on 01/08/2023 - 15:35

      ShopBack emailed a tracking confirmation minutes after I signed-up to this.
      If you do not receive the confirmation email, contact them and avail yourself of the 10 day cooling off period if not satisfied.

  • bgazer on 01/08/2023 - 15:16

    I took up the offer, but since OVO does not have gas plans I'm thinking of switching to CovaAu for gas; they appear to be the cheapest (distributor AusNet Vic).

    • [Deactivated] on 01/08/2023 - 15:30

      you mean multinet gas?

      • bgazer on 01/08/2023 - 15:39

        It looks like it's Ausnet, for according to my invoice: "Faults & Failures (Gas):
        13 67 07 AusNet Services (gas) 24 hours"

    • LHSolutions on 01/08/2023 - 15:49

      Same here switched Gas to Covau but now the challenge will be to find the cheapest Electricity retailer (AusNet sux lol )…

  • Brick50 on 01/08/2023 - 15:26

    I'm already with them, I chose direct debit so they have charged me preemptively for what they estimate to be the months usage.
    I want to cancel and get my partner to sign up instead, I wonder if they will refund whatever credit balance is left.

  • asa79 on 01/08/2023 - 15:47

    They don't like to show the rates very easy

  • mooreshady on 01/08/2023 - 15:52

    Just a thought, if you feel you use less electricity, you can always manually adjust the kwh before signing up. Just right the bottom of the low/med/high usage option.

  • impoze on 01/08/2023 - 16:07

    thanks, signed up as seemed cheaper than powershops new rates

  • 2hit6 on 01/08/2023 - 16:17

    when I had my quote, it said no exit fee, but when I checked the website, my area has a disconnection fee for $200. What’s the difference between exit fee and disconnection fee?
