        Could be way longer for the Gas plan too. I signed up during the Sep promo and it took 2.5 months to transfer me, so that's like late March for the full 120 days.

    I joined the September churn for gas but my gas cut over only occurred at the start of this month. This is exceptionally late churn but does anyone have any experience on whether econnex will honour the gift card?

    By my estimates, if it is honoured, I would need to stay on until mid-January, then wait another few months to get the card. Given the rates are not good, is this worth staying or should I just write it off and churn now?

    • JakeyJooJoo on 16/12/2025 - 10:29

      Also keen to know with certainty.

      I just received both my gas and elec gift cards from the August gas/elec churn, but didn't pay attention to the transfer timings. I usually wait 52 days from the day I sign up (1 week over the minimum stay period)

  • Choc0 on 15/12/2025 - 10:27

    I can't speak for other states, but VIC is tricky when it comes to gas.

    Gas bills in vic are once every two months on a fixed statement cycle date, so if your churn misses the boat, there could be nearly 60 days from the sign up date until the actual churn date (day zero). It's my understanding that day zero is when the counter starts ticking, so add another 45 days to that.

    It's also a problem if your sign up is too close to your statement cycle date when you initiate your churn. Same issue as above, if the processing is delayed and your churn misses the statement cycle, you're looking at 60+ days once again before starting the counter.

    Look at your gas statements and be wary of how long things might actually take.

      Same with NSW but with every 3 months (or longer if they actually don't come out to do the read). In NSW, they are legally only required to do this once a year!

    GC Updates: Just received GC for 10th August 2025.

    For September you may have to wait one more month unfortunately.

    Econnex always send out at the very last week of 120 days.

    New condition

    For Energy- This offer is available to new customers only. Existing customers of AGL, ActewAGL, ENGIE and EnergyAustralia are also eligible, provided they meet all other offer requirements. A ‘new customer’ is a customer who has not been with the same retailer in the past 12 months.

    • sray on 15/12/2025 - 12:00

      Good pick up, assumes this means if I return the retailer I was with earlier this year, I would not be eligible for the gift card

      • Ezio on 17/12/2025 - 13:17

        If you hop between AGL, Actew, Engie and Energy Australia, the 12 month condition doesn't apply and you still get the gift cards? Or am I understanding that wrong.

    If i switched gas and electricity in September, but gas only got connected now, can i still switch electricity using this and receive my previous gas voucher? Electricity has already completed 45 days.

  • BruceLee on 15/12/2025 - 11:45

    Does anyone know if you still qualify for this offer if you change plans, but stay with the same provider?

    For example, I want to join Ovo's 3 hour free electricity plan, but that plan doesn't show up via Econnex.

    If I sign up to another Ovo plan via Econnex, and then subsequently call Ovo to switch to their 3 hour free electricity plan, will I still get the Mastercard if I remain on the new plan for 45 days?

    @Manyo, can you please advise?

    • jimbler on 15/12/2025 - 16:58

      In the past you had to stay on the initial Econnex sign-up plan for the 45 days. I assume it's the same now.

      I know when I signed up a dozen times with Powershop it was always on their "switch saver" plan via Econnex which was a lot more expensive than their "power house" plan which wasn't offered by Econnex, but I was told that if I changed plans before the 45 days, the $200 card would be void.

    Be careful with this deals from econnex. Never received my giftcard in the email from the previous deal. Got an sms saying your giftcard is ready, but nothing received (checked junk/spam). Called them up (haven't heard back in over a week) and also emailed them (no response). Looking at some other comments seems like a common issue.

  • easywallet on 15/12/2025 - 14:58

    Probably the worst experience dealing with these guys.
    Signed up the deal in May.
    There was no date given that when I was going to receive my reward giftcard.
    Even sent an email to customer support - don't remember the date but I think it was August-ish.
    They stil could not tell me when I will receive my giftcard.
    Last week I found from my spam folder that the giftcard email sitting there from September.
    Tried to activate it but could not activate it because 30 day activation period ended.
    Emailed customer support again, and only was told that because 30 day activation period was passed, I cannot get the gift card any more.
    $200 just gone like that.
    Will never deal with thes guys again.

    The $150 internet deal is good. I hope they keep it in future months because I'm not able to switch now. I'm due to get a $100 credit + 25k Everyday Rewards points on Jan 1 from Origin Internet, so I can't swap now. :-(

    I signed up for their AGL deal a few weeks back. Got a call from my current supplier who offered me the same amount as the gift card but in account credit and cheaper rates! So I decided to stay with my current supplier.

    One thing I learnt from this experience is that some of suppliers will happily offer lower rates than advertised. The agent who I was on call said that she can offer me much lower rates, I just have to call them and ask/ request. I’m with origin btw (which is the cheapest in my area).

      It’s the fact we have to initiate the negotiation that makes it not worth it. This whole switch for rewards thing started because companies only reward new customers as opposed to loyal ones. Customer acquisition and retention should both to be free, in that it’s a side effect of companies provide consistently good services and products, while improving on their processes and reduce costs as they become more proficient at their trade.
