      Only matters if you stay long term.

      For regular switchers - its the incentives to switch that matter!
      Switch and stay connected for a minimum of 45 days, then switch in next Deal💰

      • JayBholeNath on 16/07/2025 - 13:47

        @INFIDEL I was on Ovo previuosly, then switched to Alinta. Can I switch back to Ovo again and be eligible for the bonus mastercard? I have finished my 45 days period. Have you ever been charged fee as a returning customer?

        • INFIDEL on 17/07/2025 - 03:10
          +1

          Yes. (Am also in Brissie.)
          Have done the same before. Back with Alinta again. Staying with each the min required period.

      • USER DC on 18/07/2025 - 10:07

        Can I still get this deal if I am not switching from another provider?

        Aka no active connection with any gas company right now

        • INFIDEL on 18/07/2025 - 10:09

          Not a gas user - no idea.

    • outlander on 14/07/2025 - 12:16
      +2

      Not all, or for everyone. I switched to OVO in the last deal and it was only an extra 3c/kw, but with the bonus of 3 free hours of electricity each day (which now constitutes 2/3rd of my energy consumption)

      • sqheaven on 14/07/2025 - 14:47

        Had a terrible experience wirh ovo, first time setiched to ovo using ecconex and during first week they charged me 180$ saying it's your first month bill and they charge in advance, I simply switched back in cooling off period, how come I get a huge bill for very first month? I am still waiting for a refund lol

        Can't imagine staying for 45 days and get another 180$ to get 150 back

        POWER shop is the cheapest but I was with them already

          That might be because you didn't read what you were signing up for.

          I mean, it's literally there on the Ovo home page:

          We split your predicted energy costs for the year into 12 equal monthly payments. If there's a change in your energy use, we spread the costs or savings across the rest of your payments to keep your energy bills nice and smooth.

          • sqheaven on 14/07/2025 - 14:53

            @YesPleaseThankYou: I did not read and did not like after signing up lol

                    Cheap is better than getting ripped off.

                  @sqheaven: Yes Powershop is cheapest. They put up rates 10 July and I checked about 8 recommended cheap offers and Powershop Powerhouse still best.

      Yep Lumo are the best by far inner s.E Melbourne.. switched 2 months ago and got my $120 Cash rewards paid already… id rather 30$ less and not having to wait 6 months, chasing gift card

        • tigerjie on 14/07/2025 - 20:17

          But it requires you to stay connected for 75 days compared to the 45 days here

    They don't respond to emails regard gift cards. I wonder if it was a mistake to use their expensive providers if they have issues sending gift cards through. Is anyone else having this problem or just me?!?!?

      Don't email or call…

      PM our Econnex Rep Manyo
      With reference number from signup confirmation email from Econnex.

      As suggested in many Econnex Deals.

          Ideally. Things do occasionally go wrong in any business or Deal.

          But if you cant be bothered reading advice in these many Deals & following it - you will likely miss out.

          Don't contact Econnex office - they usually don't know of these Ozbargain Deals.

          Rep organises these Deal, so contact Rep!
          Couldn't be much easier…
          PM Manyo using Ozbargain messages
          With reference number from signup confirmation email from Econnex.
          So they can track down what went wrong.

          As usual, some prefer to complain😜
          (Regularly when they aren't due to receive MC from very recent Deal…)

          I prefer to get my money💰
          So contacted Rep a couple of times when minor problem occurred. Always got quick response & problem resolved!

          Received all my gift cards & MC over years of Econnex Deals.
          Very happy with all the money💰

    +7

    I feel like this deal https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/902931 is better given it is only 30 days not 45. Don't think it is worth the extra $25 for gas. Although you can get internet here.

    • ATangk on 14/07/2025 - 10:56
      +5

      The thing with switching gas is that, unlike electricity it is never instant and can sometimes be very delayed. I assume the 30/45 days counting would start from when it actually switches, and not just when we sign up/request for the switch?

      • Wackojacko99 on 14/07/2025 - 12:33

        Yep it is 30/45 days from the date of when the switch takes place. For gas as you mentioned this normally takes much longer given they need to manually read the meter.

        • the crocodile on 15/07/2025 - 10:59

          Dont think its 100% true… In my case, signed up gas on 31/3, connection date was very late 17/6, gift card received 14/7 (less than 30 days after connection).

  • TsunamiInTheHouse on 14/07/2025 - 09:22

    I assume powershop is on the list.

    Use their credits as a buffer against inflated prices, buy the wdlcome and future packs for the next month.

    You can also call powershop and have your plan switched to their better offering within the 45 days and it won't affect your payout, i had read this in another post, so it's not my personal information.

    In and out in 60 days (or less)switch to a proper low cost provider to weather the winter or jump on another deal.

    • IfIAintBroke on 14/07/2025 - 10:56

      Seemingly no way to stack with this offer, right?

      • Sebajun on 14/07/2025 - 11:02

        I'm not sure to be honest. Here are the terms:

        Cashback is eligible only on Solar, Energy (electricity & gas), and Broadband products on a completed purchase & payment of a policy. A completed quote is not an eligible purchase and will therefore be ineligible for cashback. Cashback is ineligible on Mobile, Credit Cards, and any products not listed as eligible.
        Cashback will be confirmed after your product or service has been active for at least 90 days. Payment may take 50 - 90 days after validation.
        Cashback is ineligible on use of any codes not approved and posted by TopCashback.
        Cashback is ineligible on use of gift cards for payment and/or purchase of gift cards.
        Cashback is ineligible on purchases made via the retailer's mobile app.

      • blade1981 on 14/07/2025 - 10:06

        I find it fascinating when people make useless comments on posts. I read the terms, but others likely have EXPERIENCE with this company and if they have something hidden somewhere else that I missed.

          hidden somewhere

          then you are not bound by it.

      Ozbargain's Econnex Rep Manyo has stated in a previous Econnex Deal posted by Rep:
      we only need to stay the minimum number of days required in Deal, before switching again.

      There is no other time restriction governing if you can sign up for another Deal.
      So T&C are not required to cover it!

      Just go for it as regular switchers here do for the money💰

      I regularly switch about every 2 months in next Deal. Could switch more often.
      Received all the promised incentives in last 5 years.
      Effectively never paid for electricity for years!

      • Sebajun on 14/07/2025 - 17:55

        Any impact on your credit score doing this? I know some people don't mind their credit score and I wouldn't but for the fact that I also churn credit cards.

  • sickagain on 14/07/2025 - 12:14

    Do people usually switch right after 45 days then wait for payment when they're no longer a customer? My meter is read every 90 days, how does it work if I sign up and then leave with no meter reading in that period?

    • YesPleaseThankYou on 14/07/2025 - 12:19

      My meter is read every 90 days

      Switch to a smart meter to facilitate speedier churning.

    • nocure on 14/07/2025 - 12:19

      Leaving your current provider will trigger a meter read and final bill, then your new supplier will continue with those numbers.

    • igorekh on 14/07/2025 - 14:05
      +1

      With Energex (SE QLD), they provide an estimate, it's usually pretty close though a couple of times it was off by a hundred kWh. Smart meter will help with actual reading but then Energex will charge "Peak Demand" and many retailers will add the charge to your bill. Once a smart meter installed, there is no way back.
      This is based on my understanding of rather convoluted energy retailers & networks, happy to be proven wrong.

  • onceupon8 on 14/07/2025 - 14:06

      Similar to when Econnex offered Woolies Gift Cards, they were emailed by Woolies as multiple $50 GC.

      With change from previous $200 MC to smaller payouts now, guess Karta Rewards may be preparing to send as multiple smaller MC?

      So likely this $150 for electricity may be sent as $100 + $50, or 3 x $50 …

        The first time they switched to MC they sent out 2x $200 for electricity and 2x $200 for gas

      Yes, there's no limit. So long as you serve the period stated in the deal (30 / 40 / 45 days) You're all good to go!

    Does anyone know if one can get the "one off $200 (incl. GST) sign up credit" of Powershop if I have already used them with the sign up credit before?

    I churned to another provider last month, so I am wondering if I am eligible for the sign up credit if I go back to Powershop.

      I've got the one off $200 sign up credit many times from both Engie and Powershop, however last time I tried Powershop they declined me.. I did overuse it.. But it couldn't hurt to try?
