    I paid more with Chibot's same deal with the 10% Groupon code😢

    Only difference in deals is the Groupon code & Cashback now best with ShopBack than CR then. That will likely change quickly so would seem better to update original deal with Groupon code.

    It originally included a 10% Groupon discount code & recommended the then 15% CR Cashback (in Deal Description). Those details were removed from deal when discount expired.
    $4.50 using promo code LOVE today with 15% cashback from Cashrewards which brings this down to $3.83.

    That other deal has a fair amount of discussion already. So worth a read.

    Let the discount battle of the Cashback merchants & Groupon codes begin!

    • Graffin on 16/02/2019 - 16:37

      Did you get any confirmation after having entered all of the info, uploading the bills and viewing their plan?

      I didn't get any email or text saying I would receive the gift card.

      • aldroid on 16/02/2019 - 16:43

        Did it about an hour ago, no email as yet. I took a screenshot of the final compare page (before the switch option) just in case.

        • INFIDEL on 16/02/2019 - 16:50

          Confirmation took 5 hours on Friday.

      • INFIDEL on 16/02/2019 - 16:46
        +2

        Yes, a SMS confirmation - just above your comment in original deal. Took 5 hours on Friday, may be delayed on weekend.

        It's a more complex deal. People have been worried by the lack of confirmation & uncertainty of using the site in the deal.

        That's why keeping to 1 Deal & adding current discount codes keeps discussion in 1 place.

        This deal's discount code will be expired at midnight tomorrow, which may make people think the Groupon Deal is no longer available.

        • dins on 16/02/2019 - 17:44

          Hey champ this is regarding one of your posts in the other deal thread. Just wondering how you managed to get 21% off electricity & supply charges with Origin. Did you ring them up and say you were going to switch providers or something?

        • EmployeeDoingdeals1 @ Groupon Australia on 16/02/2019 - 21:05

          Discount code is valid till the 17th, but the deal will still be live. Best to use the code over the next two days though!

    • INFIDEL on 16/02/2019 - 17:00

    Heh. I compared both my electricity and gas - and in both case the amazing offer I could apply for was more expensive than what I'm paying now - electricity was $579 versus the $490 bill I uploaded….

    At least shopback came quickly with $0.53 so in theory the voucher cost $2.97, so a free $22.03 (assuming the gift card and cashback both come through).

  • Robertouno on 16/02/2019 - 19:46

    Ive followed all the step and viewed the energy offer, and all I see is the "apply now" button i havnt received the confirmation email from econnex. does that mean I havnt compare energy price correctly?

    • Cave Fire on 17/02/2019 - 02:56

      Same… On mobile if it makes a difference…

  • DemigoD on 16/02/2019 - 20:28

    Electricty was -3 savings . lol and gas was " No Plans Found". WTF. Hopefully i get the confirmation email as i can't go to compare page.

  • ilubbargains on 16/02/2019 - 21:46

    Already with Alinta. Went thru the steps and got a "No Electricity Plan Found". Lets see if I get the confirmation email + $25 eGC

  • zooter on 16/02/2019 - 21:47

    is it valid if you're an existing Alinta customer?

  • Miss B on 16/02/2019 - 22:19

    Actual bill $102.21, they will charge me the low low price of $129, few hundred extra per year, I'll pass even with their additional gift card offer.

    • Steptoe on 17/02/2019 - 02:06

            She just doesn't use as much electricity as you, so it sounds incredibly , to you.

          • Miss B on 17/02/2019 - 09:44

            @proudwanderer: Tango, 337.84kWh usage if that helps. 96/day + 18.40c/kWh exc gst.

            • ely on 17/02/2019 - 16:28

              @Miss B: They had super cheap deals when I signed up when they were Pacific Hydro - 56.00 c/day + 13.30 c/kWh from my current bill (both + GST), I assume that's going to jump when my current contract runs out in the near future. The gov comparison site still thinks that Tango is the best deal for my usage though, so I guess I'll stick with them.

              • o53djz7qTPY4der on 17/02/2019 - 19:06

                @ely: With Tango too.

                40 days: $121.74 / 403.74kWh

                They're the cheapest in my area.

          • xsacha on 17/02/2019 - 11:37

            @proudwanderer: $100/month doesn't sound that cheap. That's about same as me before solar.

    • callum54 on 20/02/2019 - 16:42

      What? There is 3 people in total in my house. We conserve energy but our power bill is $2800 a year on average. Is this normal?

      • Miss B on 20/02/2019 - 17:39

        2 adult 1 puppy household. We don't conserve energy, we certainly like our heater/air-con depending on the time of year. We tend to be a bit more expensive in winter, highest bill was $135 at the start of winter last year, but we sometimes had 3 heaters running. Would be around $1300 for the year. We do have gas as well though, not for heating at that place, but hot water/oven.

    May I ask a noob question, for step (4) does it mean that the correct way to compare is clicking VIEW PLAN? Any further actions required (such as APPLY NOW)?

    Thx op I got one

  • endotherm on 17/02/2019 - 06:27

    I'm not following this deal, it's confusing. So I'm paying Groupon $5 or $3.50 for the privilege of checking my energy bill against Alinta? What's the coupon code for? I understand Alinta will send me $25 later for doing the comparison. This deal seems to work differently to what I'm used to when I apply a voucher code, I hope someone can explain it in terms I understand.

    If I check my electricity, I can get $25. If I pay Groupon again for another code, can I get another $25 for checking my gas to the same address? If I pay for a third code, can I check a second property I own and get another $25?

    • Miss B on 17/02/2019 - 08:05
      -1

      Limit of one voucher per person, purchase up to 3 additional as gifts.

  • o53djz7qTPY4der on 17/02/2019 - 07:10

    About 35% more to switch. Worth the effort for the gift card though.

  • rodb on 17/02/2019 - 07:24

    They aren’t terrible deals - the problem is most people on ozbargain wouldn’t be overpaying for their electricity and gas to begin with. More than expensive for me but only by about $30 for each. Easy work for the $25 wish card

  • Helenn on 17/02/2019 - 08:00

    I'm not sure their comparison site is working that well, mine also came out significantly more expensive with Alinta but the supply charge and usage rate are all less than what I'm currently paying. Didn't make sense to me.

      Was there usage and supply ex-GST? And were your rates inclusive of discounts?
      It is most likely Alinta was actually more expensive.

  • Ramennightmare on 17/02/2019 - 10:00

      Same result here, no plans found. No way to progress through the comparison and not sure if I've met the requirements for the voucher.

  • melbourne guy on 17/02/2019 - 10:27

    Worth the $3.50 minus shopback to get the gift card. Nice deal. Now we play the waiting game…

  • xsacha on 17/02/2019 - 11:34

  • donkcat on 17/02/2019 - 15:57

  • ely on 17/02/2019 - 16:15

    $187 vs $136, 38% more expensive than my current provider (although even my current provider looks to be quite a bit more expensive than my current contract with them when that runs out). Guess I won't be switching, but thanks for the gift card.

  • Lord Ra on 17/02/2019 - 21:08

    Can I get two of these, one under my name and the other for my partner?

      Yes. The conditions say one for yourself and up to 3 additional as gifts for others.

  • cruiseronroad on 17/02/2019 - 21:09

    Will they use your provided information to market to you in the future ?

  • Lord Ra on 17/02/2019 - 21:23

    Does this mean I lost my money?

  • ozbjunkie on 17/02/2019 - 22:37

    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 16 Feb, by my reckoning the eGift card should arrive by 26 Feb - 1 Mar
    So for those who took up the offer on 16 Feb, they have till Friday 1 Mar to send the eGift cards.

    Got my gift card today, I received an email earlier in the day to say apologies for the delay and to expect it in 24 hours. I got a call later today from econnex asking me if I had received the gift card yet, I told him I hadn't and he apologized and said a glitch meant some people hadn't received their cards yet. About 2 hours after the call it come through. So I'd recommend you pick up a strange number calling if you're still waiting on the card.

  • proudwanderer on 07/03/2019 - 17:44

    I also just found out if you are "moving home" then you're not eligible for the $25 gift card unless you fill out the application to connect to Alinta.

    So if you are "moving home" and you don't want to connect to Alinta - then you've basically purchased the "groupon" for nothing.

    What a scam!

  • padman on 08/03/2019 - 00:26

    This might help some people as i too was fuming. If using GMAIL, you probably will not find it in your INBOX, SOCIAL or PROMOTIONS folders. You have to navigate down and look inside SPAM, mine was already sitting there for 4 days. Hopefully you find your voucher there :)
