This deal has been posted a couple of times previously, though the offer appears to have been temporarily withdrawn in late 2017.
Origin and ACCC no longer offer free stickers.
Powershop offers free stickers for NSW & VIC residents.
Again, I didn't neg vote your comment.
My view of AGL is not focused on their sales tactics, their pricing models, their retail energy delivery, etc.
My view of AGL as not being a good corporate citizen is in relation to their well-published regulatory non-compliances, and in relation to their corporate strategies in regard to gas supplies on the east coast of Australia and the negative outcomes that those are having on customers and citizens.
@GG57: Why do you think I care about a vote? You don't need to tell me that.
My only point is that AGL sales people are in general going to be better than the smaller companies. I know that I have a much better perspective on this topic that 99% of OzBargainers and it's funny to see what they think they know. Hence my original comment.
Your general view of AGL as a company is essentially irrelevant to the entire conversation, if you think any other company wouldn't be exactly like them in the same position then you're delusional.
Need a sticker.. "Canvassers note, by knocking you agree to pay the resident $10 for their time." :-)
Why stop at $10?
I bought my sticker from bunnings and I didn't need to give them any personal information
I made my own sign on A4, large font "no salespersons or doorknockers" and people still knock. Local council elections few months back, had a candidate knock on my door wanting my vote. He definitely seen the sign because he pointed at it and laughed and said "ahh, seen the sign, thought it was worth a crack anyway".
Sure enough; I didn't vote for him, but he ended up getting elected anyway.
That's a bit different IMO.
They aren't selling anything per say, generally just want to have a chat about any community issues you might have and how they can pretend they care about fixing them.
AGL no longer door knock. They will never again win another customer from doorknocking but may lose them to other electricity retailers that do. Thus, this sticker.
I believe door knocking is illegal now. I haven't had any for a few years now.
Ironic, free prob cos they not doorknocking anymore and going to spam mail and ads…
Will this deter the routine visits by local "bible bashers"?
I stuck a "Do Not Knock" sticker from eBay that mentions no religious groups, and it reduced the god-botherers and bible-bashers knocking on our door every month down to ZERO. Definitely worth doing. So peaceful now!
probably free so they can sell your personal details.
AGL = cold calling SOB
no deal yo
my neighbours have been annoying me so i filled out on their behalf
Perhaps check here if you want a free sticker https://donotknock.consumeraction.org.au/take-action/get-the…
I have had no trouble with AGL. Maybe I'm lucky that in WA they don't offer their full range of products. But for gas they beat Alinta and Kleenheat on price, had flybuys and cash in the account as signup bonus and what will keep me there: discounted gift cards, including Coles, Kmart, BCF, SCA…
Can't complain, I am happy customer so far. Only been with them for half a year, but so far I'm actually ahead - spent less on gas than the signup bonus and value of gift card discounts.
Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Etch.
Etch who?
Gesundheit
i dont get it
Last time I requested a free sticker (don't know who it was) they wouldn't send them anymore. You could download a pdf file and print it yourself.
Except I don't have any sticker paper, so it was useless. I hope they actually send you a sticker now.
This is like one of those free credit report deals where they are just giving you the free report to sell you credit…
I came here for the comments
Think they spam my calls more than those door knockers
Been looking to make the move from AGL electricity & gas for a while now. Top reputable companies you guys recommend? Thanks!
My recommendation is to use the government comparison website (if you are in VIC):
https://compare.energy.vic.gov.au/
Make sure you don't use any comparison websites other than ones provided by the government as others are funded by kickbacks and commissions, you are not getting accurate recommendations.
Upload your meter data and provide your current bill information.
They will then give you a list of providers by lowest cost.
You can then drill down to each retailers conditions and options, eg. some retailers charge fees for Bpay or certain credit cards.
You need to factor all this stuff in. Also check review sites for the retailers listed, like productreview.com.au to see the average customer satisfaction.
My personal recommendations for electricity in VIC are:
* Tango Energy (currently with them)
* Red Energy
In this case I live in NSW and will have a look into this! AGL hasn't been the best at all as of late for me, if anyone has any recommendtations in NSW please let me know, any help is appreciated!
+1 tango energy (previously Pacific Hydro) i frequently do the ol' comparisons with all my energy usage and they're the lowest erry time.
plus they DON'T depend on all that conditional crap i.e. "Pay within 62 hours and 23 minutes of receiving the bill using bank cheque with a copy faxed to our secretary's home number to receive 11.95% off the daily net supply charge minus GST plus a tip and also we'll throw in a free steak knife set but if you don't do this oh boy we'll charge your pants off"
Hi is this still working? The link sends me to homepage and no forms to fill?
Couldn't care less about what the demographics of this website think of my knowledge. I am completely aware of AGL's performance, more than you I expect. I'm comparing their performance to other companies, but people like to think they're very savvy when it comes to sales people. The smaller companies have much dirtier tactics in general, sure AGL have some (profanity), but you're better off trying your luck with them.
