The deal is back.

Simply NRMA plan
- 11% discount
- $300 welcome credit.

For myself, thats approx 4 months of free electricity for family of 4 with fridge, freezer, washing machine x 3 weekly, fans on 12hrs per day, etc

Can confirm that remaining of credit carries forward to next bill as i recieved my bill today from previous deal..

Works with NRMA blue membership, most ozbargainers have it anyways from the multiple freebie posts.

You'll receive a 11% Guaranteed Discount off our electricity usage and supply charges. Plus you will receive a welcome credit of $300 on your first electricity bill for this offer. This credit includes GST and is not redeemable for cash.

Unlike gas, electricity is churned within a week. So if you have an active free credit offer, make sure you time it right so you dont loose out on it. What i do is i monitor the meter and multiply unit price , and daily supply charge.

    Will now churn back to AGL, $125 credit + $125 prepaid card (Another free 3 months) and time my churn to 30 days to use the remaining $50 simply energy credit.

    Who needs solar when we have free electricity

    Thats approx 2 years free electricity with the latest churn.

    • J B S on 03/01/2024 - 10:55

    • ATTS on 03/01/2024 - 13:22

      What was the $50 simply credit

      Also do you churn every 3 months to take advantage the agl and simply energy offers

      Also do you wait for the $300 to clear on the bill and then churn straight away

      How did you get 2 years free electricity if you dont mind me asking, I thought the op was $300

      Also just curious, how long you been churning for?

      I only noticed these sign up offers now

    • Korban Dallas on 04/01/2024 - 00:45

      Yeah …but with solar you would be making money with churning.

        I rarely need aircon as out house is double brick and we have a nice breeze most of the day due to living one street away from a open park thats over 2km long . Night time we open the room windows and its nice cool air.

    • ameyas7 on 04/01/2024 - 07:40

      Does switching electricity provider frequently affect one's credit ratings? Switching mobile sim/plan provider certainly does. Wonder if it's same with other utility providers too?

      • Jonzay on 19/01/2024 - 13:24

      Havent needed to have solar. I considered it when i bought my house a few years back, but we havent needed to pay for electricity due to multiple deals so i have put it on hold.

      I guess with all the electricity savings, 2 more years and we will have enough money for a free 6kw system

        • easternculture on 03/01/2024 - 09:38

          I transfer all the savings on electricity, gas, and private health insurance into a bank account, so those saving can be used for other house upgrades (like solar) later .

              Also claim 3 times per year.
              On start of the year, i renew to a fund thaf resets limits on Jan. Mid year i renew to a fund that resets limits in july. And Qld country fund resets limits on aniversary date.
              Thats $900 worth of contacts, lots and lots of massage, etc

                  @resubaehtgnolhcs: Funds reset either

                  • Yearly 1st Jan (Majority of funds)
                  • On start of financial year 1st July (AHM, People care)
                  • Anniversary date (Hunter Health, Qld Country Fund)

                  So technically you can claim 4 times a year if you join the 2 funds that reset on anniversary.

                  • huntress_love on 03/01/2024 - 13:02

                    @easternculture: can you join 2 different funds at the same time, i thought you can only have one at a time?

                    • easternculture on 03/01/2024 - 13:09
                      +2

                      @huntress_love: You alternate. Say X fund on 1st Jan, then after 3 months to Hunter Health, then AHM or people care 1st July, then QLD country 3 months after. But also depends on other factors and free weeks/gift cards that funds are offering, but theoretically thats how it works. Generally i churn about 6 times a year and only really end up paying for 4 to 5 months. Rest of the months are free, add $900 contacts, $1500 massage, gym membership fully paid as part of health management by asking GP to complete form that you are over or under recommended BMI, and add to that a few $100 to $300 gift cards a year.

                      But i was with 2 funds at one stage (when i was doing orthodontics) and didnt have an issue claiming the federal rebate and alternate claiming at my dentist.

                      You can apply the concept of churing to anything. Car insurance, home insurance, gas, etc. As long as you keep tabs, you will save thousands a year and get thousands back in gift cards and benefits.

                      I was considering writing a book to help people during inflation periods, but if this information becomes public knowledge, the corporations will wake up and close all the loopholes

                    @easternculture: I was told that churning private health insurance is not advisable as you may lose benefits or coverage over time. E.g bronze plan let’s say 10 years ago was much better than today’s plans. Your thoughts?
                    Also what’s the fund reset ? How does it affect switching health insurance?

              • Porco Rosso on 04/01/2024 - 01:50

                @easternculture: Don't they check your extras spending when you switch private health insurers? When I switched, they needed consent to get a statement of usage from previous insurer. Somehow they didn't allow to claim optical extras. How did you manage to claim $900 of opticals?
                Cheers

                • easternculture on 04/01/2024 - 08:52

                  @Porco Rosso: Extras get renewed yearly depending on method used by fund. Most funds reset lmits on Jan, a few do July and 2 funds do anniverary date. Which means when you join them at those date, the extras limits renew automatically. Just have to switch between funds.

              • ameyas7 on 04/01/2024 - 07:44

                @easternculture: Wouldn't that put you back on waiting period every time you switch health fund? Looks like your claim may get denied when you need it the most, be careful.

    combined with no midnight-6am 8c/kWh EV charging this is a nonstarter for my needs :(

    • easternculture on 03/01/2024 - 09:39

      Depends on what area you are. Im on a single rate.

        I am on a single rate with controlled load and the rates are astronomical compared to Red, who I am currently with. Peak usage is almost 10c higher, 30c higher supply charge, almost 8c higher controlled load charge. I guess the $300 credit is still worth it but I honestly don't know if I can be bothered going through the hassle.

        • easternculture on 03/01/2024 - 09:51

          $300 is alot of money.

            @easternculture: But it’s not $300. For me Red energy is $70 cheaper a month. Need to take that into account when you’re talking $300 saving. It’s a $150 saving on red energy maybe. Still good but not amazig

              @BarryBargain88: How much is your daily and kw rate.

              With simply energy, you also get 11% off total bill

              After GST and discount, mine are

              • $0.338 per kw
              • $0.91 daily supply charge

              Compared to red energy plans below

              • Fixed saver
                Service to Property 121.000 c/day
                Anytime 35.145 c/kWh

              • living energy saver / qantaa red saver / red taroonga flex / red ev saver
                Service to Property 75.625 c/day
                Anytime 30.635 c/kWh

              So maybe a 10% to 12% price difference, not 50% as you quoted above

      I agree rates look horrible in my area too compared to my current provider Ovo , so the $300 credit will get used up in a month or max 2 months time. Not sure how it would last op 4 months considering a family of 4 unless they are all outside most of the time, it doesn't quite add up. Might have been applicable pre- covid times when everyone is at office/ school for considerable part of the day and all 5 days a week but with wfh and increased rates, our energy bills are going through the roof :)
      So highly recommend to compare your rates before switching.

      | Item | Simple energy | Ovo |
      | ———————————— | ———————————-: | —————-: I
      | Supply charges | 116.42c | 91.3c |
      | General rate | 37.32c -39.19c | 29.81c I
      | Controlled load | 27.30c | 18.7c |

      Find a better deal for yourself with another provider and sign up with them. During the process, typically you should get a call from your existing provider's retention team. You can then try to negotiate a better deal with them or continue with the switch.

      I think the limit is on the inverter's output, not the max output of the panel that you see on the ad. Usually panels of max output of 13.3kw are matched with a 10kw inverter. So maybe you are still eligible.

    10% for me, but i'm already on their 7% plan. it looks possible to change my plan over, so I'll give it a try tomorrow.

      my mistake, it's 10% for gas and still 7% for electricity.

    Is it state-limited? I thought not from the discussion in the comment sections.

    Noob question - do the electricity supply and usage charges quoted on the Simply Energy website include the 11% discount?

    My interpretation is that the discount is applied on top of the published rates - but would like to check my understanding…

      The rates shown do NOT include the 11% discount. You can see on the top right for the selected plan the "estimated cost". If you calculcate the total per month, you see it matching the price BEFORE the discount

    Any idea on when this offer expires? I looked through the terms and I couldn't find it

  • citygal on 06/01/2024 - 05:20

    So does mean cancelling after 4 month is the best way to go?
