    Still chasing them from my deal in October to give me my gift card.

    Edit: Called and spoke to them.

    • Have to be connected for 45 days - tick, now over 100 days, haven't changed providers
    • Have to wait 3-4 months from submission day to the energy provider - today is 3.5 months, so will give it another 2 weeks, then chase them again.

    Not a smooth process.

          They expire in 1 month to redeem, and 3 months after you redeem it. Sucks that ACL says the rules around gift cards doesn’t apply for promotion. 1 month is too short.

      Check that the daily rate isn't super inflated compared to other power co's, I found this out comparing the Energy Australia who are middling, with Globird and Origin (the worst culprit). Origin had a daily supply charge 3x that of Globird. Quite disgusting for one of the bigger PowerCo's in the country to engaging in this bait marketing crap, raking it all back and more in inflated fees. Criminals.

      little lost on below condition in eligibility requirements. So it means, you have to pick retailer which you haven't been in last 12 months, but existing customers sentence is throwing me off….

      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.

The person on the phone said the promotion is still available, assisted me with the sign up and confirmed my reference number. But I know how these things can go wrong so I asked for an email confirmation of the promotion. She said she can't, and said the call is recorded and can be used for verification down the track.

      Curious questions to those with solar batteries and considering Engie (and their $175 promo credit). Do you consider the credit to be of any use as it cannot be cashed out and is unlikely to be used up before you churn to the next one?

  • walrusdealer on 04/02/2026 - 17:22

    Be warned: make sure to confirm econnex has registered the sign-up as being tracked for this promotion. Signed up a few times without issues and received gift cards. However, the last round (December) didn't track, only found this out by ringing them to confirm when the 45 days would be up. I'm sure that I signed up using the right link, so a bit annoying given the rates aren't always the best.

    Also, gas can take a bit of time to process (ours is read every 90 days), reduces the benefit if you're stuck on a more expensive plan for an extra month or so. Getting the card for gas can take a while - up to 90 days until the meter's read + 45 days with the new provider + another month or 2 for the card to actually be issued.

        • Daniel Plainview on 05/02/2026 - 12:24

          Seems highly questionable that Econnex can claim the signup 'Did Not Track' being that the sign up is LITERALLY done through them and they send a confirmation email to you when you complete the process.

          If it was Shopback or TCB etc - sure I can see tracking a transaction being questionable to occur but this is done actually through Econnex's own site - so if they're not "tracking it" - then who is????

          Not a shot at you, rather questioning their very shoddy excuses.

    I have noticed the welcome bonus from most suppliers is missing when using the econnex compare. For example Powershop giving 200 welcome if connected directly.

    • 1
    • ezzaf on 05/02/2026 - 17:57

      True, but you don't have to wait 90 days to be eligible for it unlike the Powershop credit.

      For my electricity for example I'd rather get $50 (Momentum signup credit) + $125 (Econnex gift card) in 45 days, than get a $100 credit from Powershop after 90 days + however long it takes to consume the $100 credit.

      To each their own though.

    Anyone know if "new customer" is defined by fuel type. E.g. if I have had a gas account with AGL in the last 12 months but no electricity account would I still be able to sign up with AGL for electricity and be eligible for the gift card? I'm leaning towards yes.

    Signed up with this on ENGIE, and the per kWh amount in the welcome email appears far higher than I remember on the site. That significantly diminishes the value of a sign up bonus

    Is this normal?
    And can I change plan once I've been connected?

    I know there's a cooling off period but I can't be bothered if I can simply swap it later.

      I have zero qualms using and churning ENGIE for their $175 Welcome credit as the rates they charge in my area are utterly preposterous. Their peak rates on the offered plan are not far off DOUBLE the best priced plan on energymadeeasy.

      Clearly they're happy to rort customers, so it's the least I can do to return the favour. Will be moving as soon as the 45 days is up! And FWIW their customer service is utterly crap, takes many days to get a response!

    Just got my gift card from the Oct 25 deal. They actually sent a text to tell me to check my spam folder for it. Thought that's nice. But that was a long wait lol Can't even comment on the op anymore. Also can't comment on the Dec 25 deal, I'm guessing I'll get that one in about 2 months.

        I signed up when the October deal was posted here, so around 21/10? The email is from 'Karta Rewards <rewards@karta.com.au>' with the subject line 'Here is your $200 Gift Card!' This is my first time, so I can't guess how they work. But if they are fully automated and consistent, you should get a text message two days after you are emailed the gift card.
