        I also never received mine. I bet they pocketed the referral fee from the electricity company though.

      I stupidly clicked through but then chose the plan that was best, lost the credits 😭

    • Aminn on 29/05/2025 - 10:29

      How ? Explain please

    • frewer on 29/05/2025 - 11:54

      This's from Powershop when I sign up

      A one off $200(Incl. GST) sign up credit will be applied to the usage and supply charges on your first electricity bill. The credit cannot be refunded, transferred or redeemed for cash.

      So I need to use it up before transfer away ?

    • AnyFurtherDiscount on 29/05/2025 - 12:35

      I hate powershop for direct debit or credit card payment. I prefer to pay by other methods.

      • s0805 on 29/05/2025 - 12:50

        Just moved away from Powershop in April, can we go again and get the credit?

        • AnyFurtherDiscount on 29/05/2025 - 13:44

          Yes you can. I tried in Nov 2024 and successful.

          • s0805 on 29/05/2025 - 14:19

            @AnyFurtherDiscount: To confirm, you rejoined within month and they honored the welcome credit?

    My gift cards from late January came through a week or two ago without any prompting in case anyone is looking for a positive story. Pretty much right at the 120 day mark.

    I am still with both the electricity provider (Engie) and internet provider (Dodo) if that is relevant. Will likely churn again on this deal now though.

    • jonomatic on 29/05/2025 - 10:27

      My gift card from late January hasn’t come through yet. Past the 120 day mark for me currently.

      It's because they often don't honour their offer, plenty of negative comments in their previous deals

        I've transferred my utilities via Econnex three times and all the times, they sent me the gift cards on time. I also have recommended Econnex to my friend and he received the gc on time too.

        Econnex is legit as far as I concern.

      • Alpha-q on 29/05/2025 - 13:58

        I had the same issue, now when i switch,i simply give them a call to confirm whether the offer has applied correctly or not

  • Sweet3st on 29/05/2025 - 10:24

    Good timing. I'm bang on the 30 day period for the previous Econnex offer.

    • Brick50 on 29/05/2025 - 10:28

      My 45 days ends 1 July :(

      Wonder if the cooling off period/signing up period would mean I’d be with my old retailer for long enough

    • saminn on 29/05/2025 - 16:13

      for the past few deals the minimum is 45 NOT 30 (changed after Jan) so may be worth to check if its 30 for yours rather than losing it.

      • Sweet3st on 29/05/2025 - 17:18

        Definitely 30 days for me.

  • ozblvsnzs on 29/05/2025 - 10:31

    i read a condition in one of their previous deals that current customers who switched a utility using econnex aren't able to claim this deal, but does anyone know if that applies between services? e.g. i changed electricity using econnex but not internet, so if i change internet now will i get $100 gc?

    • Sweet3st on 29/05/2025 - 11:05
      +2

      I see nothing in the t&c for this deal to disqualify customers moving from one Econnex deal to this one?

  • sol3x on 29/05/2025 - 10:37

    • MXsoul on 29/05/2025 - 10:55
      +6

      I may be wrong but 300$ will not be charged to you as you are already connected to a provider. Its normally charged by first provider on New builds or property that wasnt connected to NBN

      • Twix on 29/05/2025 - 11:15

    Thanks OP! If I switch away before the end of my current billing cycle with Energy Australia (signed up with $200 welcome credit), do they have a right to cancel this welcome credit or are they obliged to provide this?

    • bargainfinder on 29/05/2025 - 11:13

      I am in the exact same situation. Energy Australia will not do monthly bill so i have not have a bill from them, my switch confirmation email from econnex is 12th April and welcome email from Energy Australia is 15th April. So my 45 days mark should be now.
      Did you check your usage with Energy Australia? I switch from the 12th but the calculated from the beginning of the month April, and my previous provider only charge me until end of March instead of until 11th of April.

      • itslittfam on 29/05/2025 - 11:37

        In the same boat, I switched around 13th April and got the welcome email on 15th but the welcome pack said I got switched on the 1st April, so should technically be 45 days past. Usage is around $100 so far. My only concern is whether EA will honour the $200 welcome credit if I switch away before the first bill…

        • bargainfinder on 29/05/2025 - 12:02

          My usage is almost $300 now for 2 months so it is time to go, hope the $200 welcome is applied. I might call them to confirm

      +2

      https://www.energymadeeasy.gov.au is a good resource to check which provider would be the best for your personal usage/post code. They calculate savings based on your bill or you if you have stayed more than 12 months in your property you can provide NMI and they come up with numbers based on your usage for the full year. Run by Govt so no shady business from third parties like meerkat man…

      • Twisty on 29/05/2025 - 11:31

        Thank heaps

        I just found out that AGL charged me a daily supply rate for 9 days when we had no power whatsoever due to cyclone Alfred here on the Gold Coast. Checked with our friends who are also with AGL down the road and they too were charged this daily supply rate.

        Wonder how many people they did this too and how much money they made out of this cheeky mistake wink wink

        Rang them and was on the phone for 30odd minutes and finally got it fixed and a “sorry for that”

        Kinda makes you wonder hey

      sort of similar situation. I have seen some providers take billing rights from the application date, i would think all the billing rights should be handed after the cooling off period only (generally 10 working days)

      Nope gas switching is extremely slow and the meter is read every 3 months, so it can only be switched then

    • jackofspade on 29/05/2025 - 14:32

      You can use the 'Gas Meter Mate' app to submit your meter read which may trigger the switch

      You also probably don't want to be churning to Superloop with their 30 day notice rubbish if you're going to be chasing these $100 deals regularly.

      • zooter on 29/05/2025 - 20:16

        Already on super loop so not very many options except say swoop And no idea how good they are

        • jimbler on 30/05/2025 - 08:37
          +1

          I just churned away from Superloop so I can start taking up these offers. I have sort of been with Swoop before. I was with "MooseMobile" which is owned by Swoop, and it was exactly the same as Superloop for me. I had no issues.

          The price at Moose is actually better than Swoop $65.80 for 100/20, but they aren't part of these cashback offers, so you don't get the $100 cashback, otherwise I would just go with them.

          https://moosemobile.com.au/nbn/

          The current Amaysim offer is also excellent…..$45 for 245/22, but it's only for 2 months.

  • movieman on 29/05/2025 - 22:29

    Thanks OP.

    Moved gas a few days ago.

    Today moved NBN.

    Looks like Swoop is the cheapest option.

    Any notification of termination required with Swoop, like 30 days?

  • JKH25 on 30/05/2025 - 09:59

    Terms and conditions specify that connection must be made within 45 days, otherwise no gift card will be provided. I too have passed 45 days now for gas (electricity and NBN switch done). Called existing retailer and they are doing a special gas meter read next week (out of schedule) but am afraid I am now ineligible for the gift cards.
    Similar concerns like many others here - can any experienced churners advice? Thanks.

    • circle9nine on 30/05/2025 - 11:20

      Youre best not trying to optimise churning gas on this deal. Just wait for your first quarterly bill, then jump on the next sign up promo.

    • Rodo on 30/05/2025 - 17:16
      +1

      I couldn't find this condition in the latest offer. Am I missing something? All I can find is that if you don't stay connected for 45 days after activation that you will not get the gift card. Can you point me to where it mentions this in the latest offer?

      • JKH25 on 30/05/2025 - 20:09

        "When the request for a switch or connection cannot be completed, is unsuccessful, or a request is made for the cancellation of your Electricity Plan and/or Gas Plan within the first 45 days from the date of activation, you will not be eligible to receive any Card. There may be additional fees charged to the Customer by the chosen retailer in these events."

        In my case my gas the new retailer I signed up for said existing retailer has not released my gas account as the meter has not yet been read, something about it being done every 90 days. Have booked a out of cycle meter read next week but might be too late.

        So I am likely missing out on a large chunk of the GCs.

    Stay away Econnex, they are liars! Applied provider switch via Econnex in late Nov promotion last year. Did not receive the gift card. Contacted them and received following reply!

    We’re writing to confirm that we’ve received your application under reference ID 17397xxxxx, submitted on 29/11/2024, for switching your gas provider through the standard Econnex portal. Please note that this switch was not linked to any promotional offer, which is why no gift cards were associated with your application.

    However, we’d like to make you aware of some ongoing promotional offers that may be of interest to you, valid until 31st May 2025.

    Also noted they pay for good reviews. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/906854
