    Has anyone tried their bundle deal? Up to $660 apparently.

      • bbking18 on 15/06/2025 - 15:00

        Automatic cancel? I did the switch using econnex on 31 May for gas only and haven't got switched over. Is it worth it to do it again?

        TBH, I'm getting a little tired of negs without people mentioning, what was the negging for, my message was about the status tracking rather than whining about my own thing. Econnex should have something in place for people to track where they are with their GCs

      I received one today, from the Econnex deal in feb. I went with Powershop.

      21/02/2025 - Signup
      27/02/2025 - Electricity Connected
      26/03/2025 - Gas Connected
      11/06/2025 - Received Karta Gift Card $200 (for electricity) after 104 days from conenction.
      Pending - Karta Gift Card $100 (for gas)

            @s0805: Download the Karta App.
            Click claim in your email, and it will send you a text.
            Them click the link in the text and it will load the card in to the App.
            From there you can add it to your apple/google wallet, or reveal the card details to use online.

      • Unseatingcargo1 on 11/06/2025 - 20:16

        • darkly on 11/06/2025 - 20:17
          +1

          No, usually you just churn again after the gift cards come through.

            @darkly: I don't wait for GC to come through. I just churn as soon as my 30 or 45 days are finished with retailer in question.

            • dealt on 12/06/2025 - 11:23

              @s0805: Nice! doing this have you gotten you GCs before from econnex without going into any hassle?

                +1

                @dealt: started doing these from Feb this year. So far, 1st GC is landed. Others will follow eventually i hope. The thing is there is no limit on how many time you can sign-up as long as previously signed retailer conditions are met.

      • pluto on 11/06/2025 - 20:17

        Received $200 too. Gas and internet pending.

      • turk182 on 11/06/2025 - 21:01

  • RenVilo on 11/06/2025 - 09:54

    I tried using these guys before, and they were useless. Took like 2 months and still not moved. Moved directly, got a smaller cash reward, but saving a fair bit monthly so if I didn't waste 2 months I would have been able to get the same amount.

    • outlander on 11/06/2025 - 12:13

      Same, until I emailed my old provider and then it switched straight away.

    what is the difference between this deal and long-running https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/902931 which has a larger bonus gift card? Can I use the long running one again if I already have used it for a switch?

    • polarq on 11/06/2025 - 11:12

      my bad, I think this is better as you can get higher GC of $175 instead of $150 in the previous one. but this one does require you to stay for 45 days instead of 30

      • musicinbed69 on 12/06/2025 - 00:42

        Econnex called me last week to say it’s actually 30 days for everything but they say 45 days to customers “to be sure there’s 30 days” so they get paid and can pay you.
        if they say 30 and it’s 29 days officially cuz confusion on start and end date etc it causes drama/issues.

  • jedimaster on 11/06/2025 - 10:17

    If you sign up to Ovo energy using a referral for EV plan, you get $180 ($15 x 12 months) so its similar but spread out vs getting $175 in one go with Econnex link

    • nunyabizzness on 11/06/2025 - 10:21
      +3

      Yeah but if you do this every 45 days for 12 months you can do it 8 times so 175 x 8 = $1400

        Hi, can we sign up with Econnex link to OVO electricity meanwhile using the Ove referral code, then get $175 from econnex+ $180($15*12months) from OVO?

    • INFIDEL on 11/06/2025 - 10:22
      +1

      Having used Econnex for years in these Deals, the best benefit is from switching again in next Deal, only staying with a retailer long enough to qualify for the MC (min 45d now).

      • puzzles2 on 11/06/2025 - 12:16

        If it's been 45 days since the connection date, is it safe to switch again if you haven't received the gift cards yet? (Believe it says 90-120 days)

        • INFIDEL on 11/06/2025 - 13:34

          Wait a couple of days to be sure if possible.
          I'll be switching again on Friday, which is beyond 45d.
          MC can take 120d.

      If that credit is from $75 Fed rebate, they have to refund that to you.

      • prankster on 11/06/2025 - 10:28

        got $150 left including the $75 so yeah got June to smash the heater (i've got solar). Last month bill was $87 with moderate heater usage so yeah was waiting to finish it this month, ask AGL for the $75 rebate back and then switch to a new provider - whoever has a credit to join with

        • INFIDEL on 11/06/2025 - 10:35

          These Deals are frequent, so could wait for another.
          Credit provided by a Retailer is usually forfeited if you switch. Govt rebate is paid out after you swich.

          • ussenterprize on 11/06/2025 - 13:29

            @vikaskamboj: The last deal required staying connected for 30 days to get the digital mastercard and then Powershop also offered the sign up credit. So, that was a sweet deal for the first month; however, the usage charges are high with Powershop. So, 30 days are done and dusted. So, I'd like to make a switch nonetheless.

            • snippy on 11/06/2025 - 13:33

              @ussenterprize: yeah I will stay on for one more month I think then switch to Ovo. Are you switching via Econnex?

  • ozblvsnzs on 11/06/2025 - 11:19

    they have in their terms a condition that if you switched last time using them then you can't switch again and still claim the incentive - is that accurate in people's experiences? I want to switch power provider but i got this provider using econnex last time.

    • b0b0 on 11/06/2025 - 16:51

      I wanted to ask the same question. Shopback has this specific term which prevents churning directly from one provider via Econnex to another provider via Econnex

      Existing Compare Electricity and Gas customers who switch to different Compare Electricity and Gas plans/plan at the same premises will be ineligible for Cashback

      It looks like this "direct" Econnex deal doesn't have such restriction? Can anyone confirm? @.@

      Yes. Ergon areas (97% of Qld - outside SE) have no choice of any other retailer! So can't switch!

  • huydn on 11/06/2025 - 14:36

  • NoHorny on 11/06/2025 - 15:04

    Probably off topic here but does anyone know if Ovo still do credit check for new electricity account? They used to cheekily do credit check and still ask to pay a set amount upfront in advance.

    Can we switch gas after 45 days, or is there a 3-month wait required?

    • b0b0 on 11/06/2025 - 16:53
      +1

      Need to time it well. Gas reading seems to take place every 2 or 3 months.

      I am interpretting this as the 45 days start to count after your gas is switched successfully.

      Which means it can be 3 months + 45 days max wait for your gas..

    Just be aware, after back in forth with econnex over the course of almost half a year, I went into my email logs and found a possible source of why some emails from Karta aren't showing up.

    Karta seems to be sending emails with duplicate Message-ID header resulting in gmail dropping any subsequent emails.

    So if you sign up for multiple offers at the same time with the same email, or emails using the [email protected] then its possible it gets dropped.

    I emailed Karta with screenshots but haven't heard back from them so not sure if they are going to fix or not.

  • s0805 on 11/06/2025 - 17:16

    We were with Powershop in Apr 2025 (that time from memory we got $150 welcome credit). Currently with another retailer. If we switch back to Powershop, current upfront credit of $200 will be honored by Powershop?

    • dealsgrabber on 11/06/2025 - 18:40

      No, I am in the same situation and checked with them today, they said No. It's also mentioned in their terms and considerations.

        • dealsgrabber on 11/06/2025 - 19:28

          I called their support team and they asked if it is for the same property and I said yes. Not sure if they validate the new customer based on email or the property address.

          • s0805 on 11/06/2025 - 19:31

            @dealsgrabber: Ok. Thanks. I think all signups from Econnex goes as bulk to poweshop systems. I know if the same email is used, it's Econnex who can't submit the app on our behalf. This happened to me last time. Might do further checking in T&C later today and decide.

            • svs500 on 12/06/2025 - 11:51
