    Electricity offers have reduced in value this year!!
    Was $200 in May, $175 in June…
    Now its $125 📉

    With increased electricity rates, seems Retailers aren't so interested in attracting new customers. Preferred to attract them before increase… & hope they stayed.

    Received 2 x $200 MC this year, 120d after connection👍
    Switched again for $200 in June.

      Do I have to keep switching providers every time to get a better deal?

      Is there a cooling-off period after switching for each provider?

      For example, I’m currently with OVO, then planning to switch to AGL, and maybe Red Energy next?

      • INFIDEL on 06/07/2025 - 11:31

        Most switch in these Deals for the incentives to switch retailer💰

        Cheaper rates can be found from Retailers, etc. But thats only important if you want to stay long term with retailer.

        Only restriction on time between changing retailer is the 45d here.
        But check retailer T&C. Unlikely as its anticompetitive. Whereas this incentive isn't.

        Cooling off period (10 business days) only applies so you can change your mind when taking up new retailer.

        Disconnection & Connection fees don't apply to switching retailer. Only to disconnect / connect actual supply, not change the bill.

      Or, perhaps Econnex is retaining more of the commission?

      • INFIDEL on 06/07/2025 - 11:07

        Retailers offer cashback sites higher return for new customers when they need them most - when they can get most out of them!
        That was BEFORE increased rates.

          Sure, makes sense but we don't know Econnex's decision making or agreements with retailers.

            @YesPleaseThankYou: As for what cashback sites do - who knows.
            They make a nice profit, otherwise these Deals wouldn't exist💰

            Agreements can be complex. Helped resolve an issue between Retailer & CR Rep long ago. Was very stressful for paid Rep when Deal fell over, costing CR.

      Do the gas and electricity gift cards arrive at different times? Or both together?

                  Check Retailers offers (bonus bill credit) through Econnex offers or elsewhere.

                      I prefer PowerShop, but have been with them 7 times (once this year), so the $200 bill credit is unlikely for me.

    • INFIDEL on 06/07/2025 - 14:27

      There are likely better rates elsewhere for those who want to stay long term with same retailer.

      Econnex Deals offer a good incentive to switch. That particularly benefits those who regularly switch. Combine with bill credits in Deal!

    • INFIDEL on 06/07/2025 - 15:31

  • itslittfam on 06/07/2025 - 11:23

    Anyone know if you switch before you get your first bill with Energy Australia, whether they revoke the $200 welcome credit? It's been more than 45 days but the bill isn't due to come for another 20 days. Just wondering if I lose the $200 welcome credit if I switch now?

    • YesPleaseThankYou on 06/07/2025 - 11:36

      Get a smart meter so you can churn more quickly.

      As for your question, read the terms and conditions under which you joined - which you, of course, saved a copy of.

    • INFIDEL on 06/07/2025 - 11:36
      +2

      Bill credit is used to pay your bill(s).
      Each retailer has own T&C for it. Refer to it.

      Bill credit is not transferable. Its use or lose.
      So will likely be used in paying that bill.
      Any excess will be lost in switching.

      $75 Govt electricity rebate is yours, so should be transferred to you.

    Both the new gas and nbn internet retailers have reached out indicating they will switch me over. And I got my message from econnex saying "thank you, we will get you through to the retailers"- but no mention of the gift card or ongoing process since.

    I'll update with whatever happens between now and 50 days after the switch over dates so other's can have confidence in the process.

      I got the same $225 deal except my existing plan is actually slightly cheaper (albeit it was going to be bumped on 1st August, but still lower supply and slightly higher rate than offered)
      The overall plans from econnex is still slightly cheaper but I'm iffy about the cheapest gas provider suggested (Alinta and Energy Australia), plus I'm too lazy with the credit check game so took the 2x$225 bonus after 90 days for now :/

      Also AGL chat suck balls, the whole ordeal took nearly 2hr with very slow response from them (~5min inbetween reply) and the representative is very copypasta when I'm asking specific questions regarding terms and condition of the $225 credit.

      I couldn't get a clear answer on what happen if I cancel my account after the $225 bonus is applied and my final bill is less than $225. She said "We will be able to refund if there is credit after the final bill", but also said previously, "The credit is not transferable or refundable".

      God forbid customer service to be competent….

      edit: holy smoke, the representative went passive aggressive near the end as I was complaining the speed and holding me up for nearly 2hrs (1hr of it was simply registering the new plan… 1 whole hour…) and want to speak to a manager. Lodging a complaint with the transcript…

    I'm confused, because this link is still showing $150+$100:

    Can I switch between an electricity account in my name and then partners name to take advantage of credits/cash backs etc. not specific to this deal, just a general question?

        Thanks. There aren't many providers in my area to choose from so am limited to offers.

    Just received email from my previous electricity retailer ENGIE: $20+ refund.

    Paid nothing over 3 months using $100 ENGIE Bill Credit & $75 Govt Rebate.
    (All electric aircon home, no solar)

    Already received Econnex $200 MC💰
    $220+ Pure Profit🎉

    BUT ENGIE want me to print (no printer), sign & post refund authority form. Details they already have from my Direct Debit authority😜

    Will cost me (travel, print cost, stamp) + 1hr of inconvenience to recover $20+ they owe me… No way!

    Other electricity retailers I've used this year in these Deals (at no cost), were so much easier to process refund!
    Either automatically sent to my Direct Debit account (PowerShop refund of $56) or email to confirm details first (Origin refund of $1150).

    Rang ENGIE saying would not waste my time & $ sending them what they already had. They finally agreed, after confirming details.

    ENGIE (formerly Simply Energy) is not Simple - far too bureaucratic & slow a business to deal with!

      I just fill out the refund pdf form and submit it online.

        Emailed Form received today states to print & mail to their Melbourne address. No link provided to that online process!

        They seem to like bureaucratic paperwork I hate😖

        Ringing was easiest & fastest way. Answered quickly.
        No filling out form or searching their site necessary.

        Received SMS confirmation of refund process in minutes

        As I commented - other retailers process the refund FAR easier!! Receive many refunds per year.

          They probably assumed that you are computer-illiterate :)

          Most retailers usually automatically issue the refund if you have actually made a payment.
          It's a bit more complicated when you have never ever made a payment.

            @jackofspade:

            They probably assumed that you are computer-illiterate :)

            If they are incorrectly making assumptions about their customers - glad I left 🤪

            Never paid for electricity in years.
            But all electricity retailers have had my Direct Debit details, submitted online.

            Most ask just to confirm account refund is to be paid into. Which is a safe approach.

            Not provide a completely blank form to be filled in, printed, signed, & posted😖

            Would have been very easy for ENGIE to help by providing that link to their online refund process in their refund email!!
            Not just the PDF.

            But they didn't bother giving that easier & faster option. Got to ask why they choose to delay refunding people's funds??💰

            They don't seem to think of the customer!
            So I don't think much of ENGIE!!

          • INFIDEL on 08/07/2025 - 14:40

            @jackofspade: Just received refund to bank account😊 Took under 4 hr.

            So much quicker than following ENGIE's instructions to fill out form, print, post & wait… days!

    Already have electricity with Powershop so was planning to join their Gas only with $100 powershop credit + this deal. However when searching for Gas only offers no Powershop deal is presented in Econnex search results. It only comes when signing up for Electricity + Gas. Any way around it?
