    Just switched to Powershop a couple of days ago but still in cooling off period, will cancel and sign up for Red Energy with these deals going, Powershop are a bit cheaper but not enough to cover these perks.

    Edit. For the people PMing me I will be using the random referral code from the Red Energy page

    Conveniently Sparesbox sells gift cards:

    Their own gift cards though.

    The momentum deal was a lot more favourable.

    • JIMB0 on 05/06/2018 - 12:15

      Better rates as well.

  • Poolprouk on 05/06/2018 - 08:56

    Can't see this on my Qantas Amex ultimate. How annoying.

    • Poolprouk on 05/06/2018 - 09:28

      Doh, just realised you need to click the link, and not register in your offers.

  • Budai on 05/06/2018 - 08:57

    Can any one tell me what discounts we get by switching to Red Energy? Is it worth staying there for long term?

    • airpoe on 05/06/2018 - 08:58

      qantas bonus points of i think of 10k + pay on time discount + decent rates

    • donkcat on 05/06/2018 - 09:48
      +1

      Personally for my usage in my area Powershop will be $11 cheaper a month however
      Powershop comes with a 75$ referral credit

      Red Energy comes with
      $50 Coles voucher for referral,
      10k Qantas points on sign up (Qantas points can be sold in classifieds for at least 1c per) so $100
      Personally I saved 2 Amex cards which is effectively spend $300 for $100 back.
      Total savings $250

      So it would take 16 months for Powershops cheaper rates to break even with the Red Energy perks.
      But personally I will sign up to Red Energy for about 3 months and then switch to Powershop or whoever has the best deal at the time.

  • ajamedor on 05/06/2018 - 08:58

    How regularly do Red Energy have these cashbacks for Amex?
    I use a spreadsheet to calculate usage for most common providers and even with the highest 15% total discount I've found the 32% Origin usage discount works out to be better (by $40 a quarter) but once you apply these cashbacks, Red will top out as a winner. You have to be on top of these bargains though. We don't use a lot at home so YMMV, dependant on how many AMEX cards, and how high your bills are. Being able to pay with Amex for points is always a sweetener.

    • lainey13 on 05/06/2018 - 09:33
      +1

      Not very often, I see the same hotel/car rental/HN/cotton on/airport retail ones all the time but not energy providers.

      • ajamedor on 05/06/2018 - 09:43

        Even if it's once a year, 4 AMEX cards will net a return of $200 vs my $160 savings with Origin (@ 32% usage). Not even including the AMEX/Qantas points system. If you have 10+ cards then you're laughing.

    • Turd on 05/06/2018 - 09:37

      Ive got 15 amex's.. But currently in a contract with current provider. :(

      • ajamedor on 05/06/2018 - 09:44

        Wow I don't think I've been in a lock-in contract with a provider for a very long time. I've been bouncing between providers to increase the discounts. Tedious but at least they have a record if I ever want to go back to them and start up at a high discount.

      • nightelves on 05/06/2018 - 13:04

        Yeah that amazes me that in this day and age you can be lock-in to an energy provider. Might just want to check with your current provider to see if you can get out.

  • Moderatormoocher on 05/06/2018 - 09:09

    Please do not ask for Red Energy referrals in comments. Use the randomised referral system for Red Energy. Thanks.

    Can someone elaborate on this red energy commentary?

    I am guessing it's a new power supplier?

  • folken on 05/06/2018 - 09:40

    Do you have to pay the Red Energy bills through its website or can it be through post bill pay as well?

      Compared rates carefully for Melbourne Eastern suburbs, electricity only. Could get $300 from Amex but will stay with Simply Energy. I get 40% off usage and works out chaper.

      • Yola on 05/06/2018 - 14:51

        I think they heard me. Just got an email offering 15,000 QFF points to sign up.

        • SydOzber on 05/06/2018 - 16:36

      • Poolprouk on 05/06/2018 - 21:11
        +1

        I just switched my gas from simply to red. Simply give you a massive discount off an extortionate price. For me (in Montmorency) it worked out as just about the same price. I moved my electric to Tango as they were much cheaper than simply's "Massively discounted" electricity deal. Couldn't stay there anyway as discount was conditional on having both utilities with them.

        It's great that you can download your usage data from the ausnet website (or equivalent) and then upload to the vic comparison site. Makes it nice and easy.

      My current provider is Amaysim and the account is on my name.
      When I called red energy, and asked whats the best way to switch over.. they recommended to setup red energy account as a "move in" request instead of "transfer" with my wife's name.

      Registered on 9th June, with start date as 13th June. No welcome mail/email received yet and online account doesn't have any information if they successfully took over the property or not.
