How does an Octopus Energy referral code work?
Once you are given a referral link, that link makes it easy to sign up for Octopus Energy. You click on the link, fill in a few details and your energy supply is switched from your current supplier to Octopus Energy.
Currently, 98.1% of switches take place within 15 days and your energy supply will not be interrupted while the switch takes place.
You do not have to wait for an engineer to arrive as your existing gas and electricity meters will continue to work as usual.
Switching via the referral link rather than switching directly via Octopus Energy means that you get £50 credited to your Octopus Energy account. The person referring you also receives a credit. If you don’t use the referral link to switch your energy supply, you don’t get the credit.
If you forget to sign up using a referral code after visiting our website, you can add one add a later date on your account. Our unique referral code to get £50 from Octopus is: bold-lion-941

Is the Octopus Energy refer a friend scheme still active?
