      I've done this multiple times with no issues receiving the gift cards. Not sure what might have caused yours not to track.

        When do they issue the gift cards again? This was for the 11/06/25 Econnex deal.

          Should be very soon. I have just received cards for the 29/05 deal

        • ashtdp on 16/09/2025 - 12:07

          They said it will take upto 120 days to issue the card even though eligibility to stay with provider is 45 days. Not sure if they still issue the card if you switch after 45 days and before receiving the cards.

          I did my switch in the middle of May I guess and I received my cards last week from Karta Giftcards

          • dlee on 18/09/2025 - 14:23

            @ashtdp: Sorry, but can you help clarify… what is a Karta gift card and where can it be used?

            If it's a prepaid Mastercard, can it be used anywhere a Mastercard is accepted (for contactless payments anywhere), OR
            is the Karta linked to a brand, like a Woolworths gift card that can only be used for WW?

            • timedzone on 18/09/2025 - 14:29

              @dlee: It is an open loop card.

            • ashtdp on 18/09/2025 - 21:41

              @dlee: The cards I have received are CIMET branded Mastercard gift cards. They work everywhere the Mastercard is accepted. Karta seems to be a company that offers digital gift card management services for corporations and businesses

              • dlee on 18/09/2025 - 23:17

                @ashtdp: Thanks! As long as they work like any other credit/debit card, and not restricted by "merchant category", I'm happy.

    • cooni on 15/09/2025 - 10:25

    Perfect timing, Cashrewards approved the pending reward last week! Switching over now.

    Just noticed, the confirmation page shows a 404 after signup, got the reference number via email though…

    • Alley Cat on 15/09/2025 - 11:35

      I was gonna ask about this. Do you still get the cashback with this deal? Wasn’t there a 6-month cashrewards cooldown with Econnex? Or does it die with cashrewards? I still have account credit with the current provider, don’t need to move just yet.

      • bargain_finder on 15/09/2025 - 11:37

        Cashrewards has paid out - Technically - although I haven't seen the cash in my account yet. so yeah free to move on…

        • Alley Cat on 15/09/2025 - 11:39

          Yes, I have received the pay out as well. Just not sure if I can get this one too because of the cooldown.

          • Cousin IT on 16/09/2025 - 07:45
            +1

            @Alley Cat: Probably more of an issue that Cashrewards has closed down, not the cool down period.

            If you weren't aware, sign in and take out your cashback.

    • churningNburning on 15/09/2025 - 11:35

      Same for me. Obviously will hold the signup email just in case.

    Seem very expensive for NSW. Currently with Origin
    - Daily Supply : 78.25 c/day
    - General usage: 32.538 c/kWh
    - Solar feed-in: 3 c/kWh ( which is disgusting )

    Any recommendation for new provider ?

    • Chhaava on 15/09/2025 - 11:46

      I am also in the same plan (Origin, retention offer) and have a credit balance with them. Rates from other retailers are very pricey.

    • TacoTaco574 on 15/09/2025 - 14:07

      Wowsers. Qld daily supply is $1.29+ per day and 30c+ per kWh.!!

    Am I still eligible if I used Econnex Comparison @ Cashrewards for Red energy last time?

    The cashback in CR shows red energy tho.

    • Mild October on 15/09/2025 - 12:20

      Pulled the trigger and wait for the result in half a year I guess… Found OVO in better rate anyway so made the switch.

      • Alley Cat on 16/09/2025 - 11:26

        Brave. I’m gonna wait until my account credit is depleted first in case I don’t get it.

    Not happy :( ,used Shopback offer ($100) last night via Econnex to transfer to Lumo. Feel like cancelling and resubmitting through this offer but it could all go pear shaped.

    • Alley Cat on 15/09/2025 - 11:36
      +1

      You can totally do it. There’s a 10-day cooling off period.

      • spenber25 on 15/09/2025 - 13:06

        Yeah thanks, it's more about the timing and the mixups that might occur cancelling and then re-submitting. I've contacted Econnex to see if they will come to the party and make the offer. Only missed out by a couple of hours.

        • Alley Cat on 16/09/2025 - 11:29

          I did it last time myself. Joined directly, then found out about some deals, cancelled the switch, went with a deal, then there was a better deal 24 hours later, cancelled again and finally went with the last one. Took about 3 days, but pay off was worth it. Always call, don’t email.

  • acai on 15/09/2025 - 10:44
    +1

    If you've stayed 45+ days with a provider (in this case, Red Energy) after signing up but have never received a bill yet (as meter is a non-smart one and I assume they bill quarterly), can you still leave to another provider and still be eligible for the Digital Prepaid Mastercard?

    • iluvbrgns on 15/09/2025 - 11:27

      I think that should be fine

  • zooter on 15/09/2025 - 10:47

    Powershop missing for me….the $200 credit from powershop in addition to this $200 is the only way these rates make sense as everything is so outrageous in my area

    also looks like Powershop have dropped the signup on their website to $100 for electricity…

    • timedzone on 15/09/2025 - 11:09
      +3

      Engie now offers $125

  • joomax on 15/09/2025 - 11:07

    rates look very inflated here for some reason, not sure it's worth the hassle/wait for $200 back.
    In melb my rates with Lumo are currently:
    91c/day supply charge
    29c/kwh peak (just over a quarter of my usage)
    18c/kwh off-peak (almost 3/4 of my usage)

    Looking through the offers, daily rates are up near $1.20/day, peak rates are 30c+, usually 37c, and off-peak are low 20s…

    • reactor-au on 15/09/2025 - 11:20

      I have the same rates with lumo but it's coming to an end 30 September, new best rate I could find on Vic energy compare site seems to be lumo again at what you mentioned (with no guaranteed rates, the guaranteed rate offer to September 2026 expired end of last month).

      • joomax on 15/09/2025 - 11:22

        ah right, so looks like it's best for us to stay put for another year!

        • reactor-au on 15/09/2025 - 11:44

          I'm switching to OVO "The One Plan" for the $200 gift card:

          Supply Charge: 113.3c/day
          Peak Usage: 30.723c/kWh

  • iluvbrgns on 15/09/2025 - 11:17

    With the Engie credit and discount, does the My NRMA membership account have to have the same name as the person who signs up? Or can it just be a valid membership number?

    • The Almighty Dollar on 15/09/2025 - 12:55

      Couldn't see anywhere saying it needs to be different, nor seperate applications. I did elec and gas to the same provider in one switch, so surely that counts.

    • churningNburning on 15/09/2025 - 16:30

      You only need to honor the timeframe stated in the deal. For example this one is 45 days. After that you're good to go again.

      There is usually a 6-month cooldown with the same compare company, that’s why we do spreadsheets. Double check the t&cs.

    Moving from Powershop to Engie makes sense for electricity. Is there any upfront credit for gas connections anyone can see in VIC.

    • cycleri3 on 15/09/2025 - 16:49

      I have bought future power packs on Powershop, will they refund if i change?

      • s0805 on 15/09/2025 - 17:04

        In similar boat and spent some time today to understand this. In sort, go through account activity and confirm if these Powerpacks were purchased using 'Promotional Credit of $200' or not. Assuming they were, then very likely you won't get that money back. In my case, to muddy the water $75 government assistance was also added, in the end i managed to double check all my 'Promotional Credit of $200' was used in 1st bill, so expecting refund on whatever i have left over….

        • cycleri3 on 15/09/2025 - 17:48

          I am in the same boat as you, got the $200 but also the $75 government rebate. But I also read on their website they only refund power packs if you leave within 60 days, I have been with them for 3 months now. See here for the 60 calendar day thing https://www.powershop.com.au/refunds.

          Also I purchased 4x power packs for next two months using my credit card, hopefully they have to refund those and any remaining government rebate.

          • s0805 on 16/09/2025 - 08:09

            @cycleri3: Prepare to make case for it. Just in case

          • runamuck on 16/09/2025 - 10:22

            @cycleri3: Dumb question but I'm new to powershop. Do you need to buy power packs? Don't they just charge you and you just pay when the statement comes like other energy retailers?

            • Alley Cat on 16/09/2025 - 11:35

              @runamuck: You don’t need to buy them, but they are discounted so you want to buy them.

            • cycleri3 on 16/09/2025 - 13:31

              @runamuck: its a way to save money. For example for next month there is a power pack you can buy for $30 and you get $42 worth of electricity, effectively saving you $12.

  • mandelbrot on 15/09/2025 - 13:19

    • timedzone on 16/09/2025 - 10:36

      Generally yes, but if you have bought it with promo credits, it will goes back there and you would need to contact the CS to have it applied to your outstanding balance.
      If you have paid on card then it should be automatic.

    However, I received nothing. I was hoping this would be from the June deal.

    • timedzone on 15/09/2025 - 19:33

      It is for the May batch. They usually send the SMS a few days after the email. You should have already received the email.

      • jimbler on 15/09/2025 - 19:35

        Yeah I got that a week ago. It's weird they would send out an SMS a week later especially for people that don't know to check their spam folder, and could accidentally delete it.
