Good offer. Good company.
I'm with Alinta already and they have good customer service.
Rang twice for my late bills and they honour the discounted price for pay on time.

  It is stated on the fine print clearly that you will receive the Woolworths eGift card within 7-10 business days after you upload your bill details online. Please allow some time to receive a confirmation. Keep in mind the offer is not available in Western Australia, ACT, NT or Tasmania.
  
  You have a choice to switch to Alinta - you are not being forced! If you do decide to switch and sign up to electricity, you will get an additional $50 WISH gift card. If you sign up for both electricity & gas, you will receive an additional $75 WISH gift card.
  - uccoffee on 15/02/2019 - 17:00
    
    actually I do want to switch, can I still use the code to switch in a month time and get the extra $25 gift card etc?
    - EmployeeDoingdeals1 @ Groupon Australia on 15/02/2019 - 19:18
      
      Yes, by simply uploading your current energy bill and submitting, you will be eligible to the $25 WISH eGIFT card.

  Hi uccoffee,
  
  Thank You for your feedback.
  
  Can you please advise the issue you are facing? If you meet the terms of the offer you are eligible to get the $25 eWish Gift card even if you don’t switch.
  
  Thanks Again

Makes you submit email address and mobile number - proceeds to offer quote - no option to exit or claim gift card?
Just back to results or apply now?
- wizzy on 14/02/2019 - 18:33
  
  The terms and conditions say:
  
  • You will receive the $25 Woolworths WISH
  eGift Card by email within 7-10 business days
  once you have entered your last quarterly
  electricity bill details plus uploaded a copy of
  this same bill.
  
  So I am hoping that as long as I did that, it doesn't matter that I just closed the window after it gave me the quote.

        @thydzik: Your profile shows you are in Perth.
        Offer not available in Western Australia, ACT, NT or Tasmania
        Shown at end of Deal Description Highlights above & also listed under Highlights in the Groupon offer it is copied from.
        
        Deal Title has locations available listed: (QLD, VIC, NSW, SA).
        
        Both have been in the Deal from the start. Always best to read a Deal before buying! (I waited until any issues were worked out by others😉)
        
        So no WA. Probably explains why No _____ Plan Found for both gas/electricity.
        
        Suggest ask Groupon for a refund.

Alinta shows as $4/mth cheaper over Summer (higher electricity use) but would be dearer the rest of the year. Am with Origin in Qld on 21% off electricity & supply charges, against 28% off electricity with Alinta. So I'm not changing.

Did anyone receive their $25 gift card? Mine hasn't arrived yet.
davedave on 26/02/2019 - 08:56

T&C said: Allow 7-10 business days to receive your $25 Woolworths WISH eGift Card by email

Assuming business day means Mon-Fri, and taking up the offer on 14 Feb, by my reckoning the eGift card should arrive by 25-28 Feb

So for those who took up the offer on 14 Feb, they have till Thursday 28 Feb to send the eGift cards.
- wizzy on 26/02/2019 - 17:29
  
  Even though the T&C said it would take 7-10 working days, the confirmation text I received said it would take 7-14 working days. I took up the offer on 14 Feb, so I am allowing until 6 March (assuming my calculations are correct).
  - davedave on 26/02/2019 - 18:18
    
    I also took up the offer on 14 Feb. My confirmation text said 7-10 working days.
    - wizzy on 26/02/2019 - 19:14
      
      Really? I wonder why mine says 7-14 days? Maybe mine is just a typo.
      - davedave on 26/02/2019 - 20:17
        
        @wizzy: Really.
        
        The lower end of the range number is irrelevant.
        
        I suppose 10 working days = 14 calendar days if a week comprises 5 working days and 2 non-working days (though many people do work on Sat and/or Sun)
        
        wizzy on 26/02/2019 - 20:22
        
        @davedave: The T&C say 7-10, your confirmation says 7-10, so I'm hoping mine was a typo. I'd like to use it this weekend on the grocery shopping if I can.

        @INFIDEL: And indeed, on review, it was in my spam folder (received yesterday) - thanks!
        
        I wonder if they deliberately made it look spammy to save on redemptions…
        
        INFIDEL on 06/03/2019 - 22:13
        
        @ely: They pay for the eGift card - even if we don't use it.
        
        It's a bulk email out - so seems like spam to gmail etc. That's why I put it in my comment as others would have the same issue.
        
        ely on 19/03/2019 - 07:22
        
        @INFIDEL: I assume that's probably the case, but it's not necessarily so - it could easily be implemented in such a way that they're only charged when someone actually claims it. Bulk email doesn't necessarily look spammy to Gmail either, spam detection is a complicated issue. Most likely it looks spammy to Gmail because Econnex annoys users with spammy emails and users have reported them as spam, causing their legit ones to also get marked as spam.
        
        I don't think the "deliberately looking spammy" theory is likely though, just a vague possibility :D Whoever my negger was above is lacking a sense of humour!
        
        I did come back to note that, prior to me finding the their email lurking in my spam, I sent an email off complaining that it hadn't come through… and just this morning I received a second $25 gift card (and not in spam, after I marked their last one not spam). Can't complain I guess.
        
        INFIDEL on 19/03/2019 - 16:23
        
        @ely: Gift cards:
        Duplicate eGift Cards were sent by mistake
        
        Just as we can buy 1 or more discount eGift Cards, promoters buy bulk amounts at much better discount.
        It's up to the user to use the credit.
        Refunding the cost of eGift Cards that weren't used by the recipient - to the promoter, would have privacy, legal, & other serious issues. It is very unlikely.
        The recipient has the right to use the credit, not the promoter. If credit is not used by any expiration date - it's Woolies.
        
        Spam: Why is this message in spam? It is similar to messages that were identified as spam in the past.
        
        A lot of bulk email spam I receive looks like a "company" offering a discount / money / gift card or voucher - for opening a link.
        
        So the bulk email from a company I've never dealt with by email (Econnex) containing a link to a "$25 eGift card" looked much the same as usual spam.
        
        The neg: Checked - the neg wasn't from me. I've got a sense of humour. Although some may disagree😉
        
        ely on 20/03/2019 - 12:24
        
        @INFIDEL: Ah, right, sad (but very reasonable) about the second GC.
        
        Regarding charging for unused gift cards, yeah, I agree that seems like a likely outcome, but it's not a required one. As a software developer, I can easily envisage a system that provisions a fixed number of gift cards, but only issues them on demand when users actually go to redeem them, and then finally bills the payer at the discounted rate depending on the number that are actually redeemed.
        
        Possible? Yes. Probable? Nah, too complex, I'm sure they just buy them in bulk. However you can't tell from the outside what the actual implementation and billing model here really is. WW could implement such a system to encourage bulk purchases, as it lowers the risk to the bulk purchaser (they only pay for cards that people actually bother to redeem).
        
        Regarding spam, yeah, it's a complicated topic. Your personal history of communication is almost certainly irrelevant though, until you either mark one of their emails explicitly as spam or not spam, and then gmail takes that into account heavily for you (and to a very small degree for everyone else) - hence, now that I've marked one as not spam, the next one they sent me was not indicated as spam for me (but probably still for everyone else).

I actually received a call from EConnex yesterday from 02 6442 4917. The caller was nice enough and confirmed that he had received my details from the bill compare offer and informed me that he could provide me with an even better deal. I didn't need to confirm any personal details and he confirmed the rates I currently had with Energy Australia and then proceeded to offer me the standard Alinta deal (which I had already compared using the Econnex/Group offer - and was actually a plan I had been on previously with Alinta). After I reminded him that I have a much better feed in with Energy Australia, he acknowledged that and confirmed they couldn't do any better (bill with Alinta would have been $135, most recent bill with Energy Australia was $91).

I'm not sure what's going on - but I clearly completed the comparison on the website so why call to "compare" again and offer the same thing?

He raised the gift card with me (I didn't ask) and checked-in if I had received it (I haven't). He said I should get it sometime next week.

      Hi, I emailed the address yesterday but haven't received a response yet. Not sure what email address I used but can I give you my number? I received SMS confirmation

      Hi, I sent an email to that address 3 days ago, but no response and no gift card as well. Can you follow-up? Thanks

  The next lot i.e. till 22nd Feb 2019 will be rolled out in next 24hours as Woolworths still working to fix the glitch.
  
  Have these been issued yet?

Received an email early this morning "Please accept our apologies for the delay in sending you the Woolworths Gift Card. We have experienced a system glitch.
We hope to resolve this issue soon and send you the $25 eWISH Gift Card within the next 24hours."

Just also receive a phone call following it up and asking if I had received the gift card. I said 'no' but they wished me a nice day so there is that.

Didn't find mine in my Spam folder, but found this message:

"Please accept our apologies for the delay in sending you the Woolworths Gift Card. We have experienced a system glitch.

We hope to resolve this issue soon and send you the $25 eWISH Gift Card within the next 24hours.

Thank you for your consideration."

So they know I exist

Got a message from Econnex on 18th, still no voucher.

This was posted 5 years 9 months 10 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal.
