£50 for a home, £75 for a business
Octopus's referral scheme pays energy account credit, not cash:
- Home (domestic) switch: £50 credit for the new customer and £50 for the referrer.
- Business or charity switch: £75 credit each.
- There is no cash alternative, and the credit cannot be transferred (Octopus affiliate sign-up terms).
For a business switch in more detail, see the business referral (£75) page.
When the credit is paid
- Octopus adds the credit once the new customer has fully switched and their first month's Direct Debit has been successfully taken.
- It happens automatically, usually within a few weeks. Octopus says it typically takes around four weeks from when your friend joins (longer if the previous supplier delays the switch).
- You can check it in the Octopus app under Bills (shown as a referral reward) or on the website under Payments → View my balance history.
Who gets the credit
Both sides get it when the switch qualifies: the person who shared the link, and the person who joined through it. Octopus's help page puts it as "we'll give you both energy credit" and "£50 each" / "£75 each".
You are not eligible if you are a current Octopus customer, or were a customer in the last 12 months, or if you cancel before supply starts or before the first Direct Debit. Sign-ups through comparison sites, brokers or by phone do not qualify.
