IT PAYS TO SHARE WITH FRIENDS
Sharing really is caring when it comes to referral schemes. We’ve found that taking advantage of sharing just a couple of ‘refer a friend’ links or codes could save you (and usually them too) a good few pounds.
Lots more companies use referrals than you may realise, usually because it’s a smart way to spend their marketing budget – people are more likely to start using a product or service if someone they trust recommends it; so if businesses pay happy customers to tell all their friends, it’s a win-win.
From experience, the biggest wins are on utilities and other essential bills – although some providers turn their referral rewards on and off, we’ve heard lots of success stories for energy provider schemes – some offering up to £50 credit! So keep an eye out and get those referral bonuses rolling wherever you can; you could even share your referral links on social media, you never know who might snap them up.

Octopus Energy – £100 from referral
My daughter who is 20 recently moved into rented and had never had to pay an electricity bill before so needed to set up a provider. As a family we have a good experience with Octopus, so I recommended them.
When I checked I saw they had a great referral scheme. So I shared the referral link in their app with my daughter. She saved £50 on her first energy bill and I got a credit of £50 on my next bill. As a family we saved £100 just be using the refer a friend link from Octopus.
You are welcome to use this link to sign up to Octopus – https://share.octopus.energy/
