    A ‘new customer’ is a customer who has not been with the same retailer in the past 12 months.

    This looks like a new condition. I previously used the same provider multiple times within the same year.

    Signed up last time for Alinta gas. Stayed 45+ days as per T&C. The gift card was rejected because, from Econnex
    "Promotional gift card eligibility is determined based on the retailer’s campaign terms at the time of sign-up. In many cases, if the retailer’s system identifies a recent or prior account history for the same provider and property through Econnex Comparison, the campaign may be marked as ineligible—even if the service transfer proceeds successfully. In such cases, the reward is not triggered, as validation is completed directly through the retailer’s campaign assessment process."
    Is it just me or this condition is hidden?

    • JoeyJoeJoe on 26/02/2026 - 11:51

      That's some sneaky shit right there. Vague, open ended language designed to break the Retailers/eConnex's obligations.

      OP, care to provide some clarity on this?

      I assume they are well aware of all their wrong doing. There's a rep here and yet doesn't give a crap to respond to people having issues. Doesn't put the company in a good light

    Switching to PowerShop via Econnex was the best decision I made. We effectively haven't paid electricity since July last year with all the credit we got from the sign-up offer + using someone's referral code ($75) all the people that used our referral code (5 x $75 referrals) + government rebate. We're not heavy electricity users mind you. But it just kept on adding credit to my account, and I still have some left. And that's not including the e-gift cards, which we used to pay for part of the petrol for a Christmas road trip. Sure, you need to wait a while before receiving them, or maybe follow-up with them in some cases (we didn't need to) but we thought it was worth it.

    Just need to make sure once signed up to call them so they switch your electricity account to their cheaper plan because the only option available on econnex (at the time I signed up at least) was not their cheaper rates. Process to switch was super easy and fast. And didn't void the intro offer or gift cards.

      • Sebajun on 26/02/2026 - 09:34

        Correct. I called after a few days after my electricity had been switched to them, they changed the plan right away.

        Referred someone from ozb and the rest was from posting my referral code to a Reddit thread about PowerShop that I found doing research about them before signing up: https://www.reddit.com/r/powershop/comments/1cuuabg/comment/…

            @Zeee: I got $75 multiple times because people used my referral code to sign up to Powershop. Not because I used someone's referral code to sign up to Powershop.

    Manyo. Can I please confirm if I have an email from Powershop that my account was closed on the 26/02/25, would I classify as a new customer if I sign up tomorrow (27/02/26)? Thank you.

    • AnyFurtherDiscount on 26/02/2026 - 16:31

      Once you sign up with any retailer, you wont get it straight away. They will start when the current provider ends,

      For examples, You are currently with A Energy, your bill day circle ends at 10th every month. You sign up to B Energy on 25th. Then B will notify A that you already ported out.

      So A will do the last reading on 11th. Probably send you the last bill on 13th and B taking over from 11th.

      So technically your new start day with B Energy is 11th not 25th.
