Common questions
Full FAQ →How much is the Octopus Energy referral credit?+
£50 of credit when you switch to Octopus through a referral link. Business and charity switches get £75. It’s added straight to your Octopus energy account.
Is the Octopus referral code still working in 2026?+
Yes. The scheme is active and we re-verify our code on the 1st of every month. We last confirmed it works on 1 June 2026.
How long does it take to get the £50 credit?+
It’s paid automatically once your switch completes and your first monthly Direct Debit has been taken — usually around 4 weeks after you join. No claim needed.
Is this an official Octopus Energy offer?+
Yes — the £50 referral credit is Octopus’s own scheme. Octopus Energy Referral is an independent guide, not affiliated with Octopus, but the link takes you straight to Octopus’s website where you sign up directly with them.
Will my gas or electricity be interrupted when I switch?+
No. Same pipes, same wires, same meter — switching only changes who bills you. There’s no engineer visit and no break in supply, and the whole thing is protected by the Energy Switch Guarantee.
Do I need a smart meter to use a referral code?+
No. A smart meter isn’t required to switch or to get the £50. Octopus can fit one later for free if you’d like one.
Can I add the code after signing up?+
No — it has to be applied at sign-up, which is why using the link (where it’s applied automatically) is the safe route. If you join without it, the £50 generally can’t be added later.
