    Will this offer still work if I switch to a time of use plan???
    By default it recommends me Single rate plans but I prefer Time of use, seems easy enough to switch on the website

      If you enter your bill details, you can select which tariff you are on.
      Although keep in mind the retailer has final say on which tariff to put you on, last time I signed up via Econnex it showed ToU pricing but Alinta put me on a demand tariff.

      • Anon257 on 17/03/2025 - 23:57

        Thanks! I ended up going with standard Single rate for now and will switch to ToU after the 45 day period to be safe :)

  • dd8889 on 16/03/2025 - 07:59

    Does anyone know if there's a way to combine this with the RACV arcline $150 sign up deal?

  • The Hawk on 16/03/2025 - 11:14

    +25% more for electricity (vs Ovo)
    +10% more for gas (vs Tango)
    Internet basically offers everyone and nothing at the higher speeds I'm at.

    Signed up with ENGIE a while ago and received $200 welcome credits which hasn't been used up. What happens with the unused welcome credits if switch away from ENGIE now? Has anyone have any dxperiences in this? Does ENGIE refund the account credits? Thanks.

    • surfingedge on 17/03/2025 - 10:56

      No. Just wait until it's used up, there are always switching offers around.

      • apple0604 on 17/03/2025 - 11:32

        Will do. Thank you.

    1st April, you will also receive additional $75 from AU GOV (aka your own taxes)

    Decided to cancel a switch to an ACTEWAGL plan. I received a welcome contract with a plan commencement date in August 2025, which is over five months away and definitely outside of the 45-day switch period. Didn't want to gamble and missing out on the $200 incentive as my current plan has good rates (~$0.75 supply, $0.2/kw anytime).

  • churningNburning on 20/03/2025 - 15:38

    Just letting ya'll know I've been busted abusing the $150 Powershop signup bonus, they denied my application. Citing 'we cannot put you on this plan as there has already been an active account used'

    Was nice while it lasted :D

    • huydn on 20/03/2025 - 23:41

      As in Powershop did not let you switch to them or did they only deny the $150 bonus?

      • churningNburning on 21/03/2025 - 13:36
        +2

        They declined the switch - rather they accepted it then a few days later sent a cancelled connection email.

    • INFIDEL on 28/03/2025 - 12:11
      +3

      Ouch! Switched to PowerShop 5 times. Had 6 accounts - each with same details.

      Staff could clearly see my numerous accounts. When something needed updating, they commented on them. Never a problem. Still received the $150 bill credit in December.

      Recently switched to ENGIE, to go back to PowerShop again.

      Might have to avoid PowerShop😢 They were my favorite for prompt & friendly customer service.

      • churningNburning on 28/03/2025 - 13:38
        +1

        Haha yes! Be cautious not to get blacklisted like me (I was ruthless and careless) Engie however is still open season for me :D

        • jackofspade on 29/03/2025 - 12:34

          Are you saying Engie does not enforce the 12 months exclusion?

          • churningNburning on 29/03/2025 - 13:19

            @jackofspade: I'm saying I've had it a few times with no issues. Again, this isn't to say they won't click on like Powershop did.

      Same here got back dated 10 days, really annoying because I was with Ovo and was abusing the 3 hours of free electricity blasting my air con. Also have an ev so was charging during the cheaper times.

    • rollin on 24/03/2025 - 21:25

      Any idea how that effects the churning process and GC eligibility?

      EA backdated me nearly 2 months.

      • sdkfjhwef on 25/03/2025 - 13:46

        Wondering this too!

    • freedomofspeech on 25/03/2025 - 11:29

      They would say in the email it may not be accurate if you have a smart meter

  • eddieboy2 on 22/03/2025 - 10:15

    I completed switch and received $150 credit Powershop electricity OK. My plan was initially shown as single rate anytime, but I am actually on Time Of Use Plan, which is better anyway for me.

    • freedomofspeech on 25/03/2025 - 11:29

      It simply depends on your meter.

      • eddieboy2 on 26/03/2025 - 08:33

        I have a smart meter, is that the key?

        • freedomofspeech on 26/03/2025 - 09:05

          then it will be time of use likely

          • INFIDEL on 28/03/2025 - 13:08

            @freedomofspeech: Have a smart meter in Qld.
            Rang Powershop. Was told they don't have time of use tariffs.
            Was billed single rate anytime when was with PowerShop this year.

  • Sarinella on 28/03/2025 - 11:47

    Hs anyone received their mastercard from this promo yet?

    • INFIDEL on 28/03/2025 - 11:55

      How? You need to be with the retailer for min 45d after switch happens, and wait 90 - 120d for MC!
      It's only 15d since this Deal was posted😜

  • INFIDEL on 28/03/2025 - 11:53
    +2

    As already pointed out in previous Deals - it's main advantage is to those repeatedly switching retailers to gain the incentives.
    Not those looking at a long term commitment.

    A slightly higher tariff for 45+ days is low compared to the incentives gained.

    You can still get incentives from the retailers to switch.

    In previous Econnex electricity Deal, that was $200 MC + $150 bill credit for 30d min commitment.

    Hopping between energy retailers with these type of Deals has meant no electricity payment for years! (All electric aircon home, no solar)

  • freedomofspeech on 28/03/2025 - 16:28

    Do we count the 45 days from the sign-up day or from when we got accepted and connected by the retailer?

    • apple0604 on 29/03/2025 - 15:02

      Starting from when you actually connected by the retailer.

      Been using Econnex Deals for years.
      But don't count on being available - when you want it.

      Have used other less attractive offers, (eg 25k EDR points, $200 retailer signup credit), when there were no direct Econnex Deals when I wanted it last year.

      I switch electricity retailers when any (non-refundable) signup credit is used up & minimum time to stay is met. Often every 60d.

      • bravemeow on 29/03/2025 - 09:26
        +1

        Sure thanks noted. How about gas, lol.

        BTW, I know some retailers would do credit check on sign up, and some would not. May I ask your insights on this? I am a bit worried about my credit score if switching frequently. Heard from my friend that the impact is small.

  • k7837 on 29/03/2025 - 16:18

    Is this still available? Update says "Update: Promotion reactivated for 27th March 2025 and 4th April 2025."

    But the link 404s

      The promotion was was indeed reactivated and then shortly withdrawn sometime on 28th March.
