I was already with AGL and my 2 year 44% discount was ending. I had a flyer a few months ago so I tried the generic address listed on it, once I put in my address and went through to switch plan it says 'guaranteed 52% off'. A friend of mine got same result.
Not sure if this is a typo or not as through the normal channels a WA address is offered 51% off. I signed up for this and it worked so thought I should post so others can get it. Let me know if this isn't a deal as it's only 1% more than usual discounted price..

Looks to be the same as this deal: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/610546

Edit: It appears there are 2 deals here:
1: I have changed the main link to the 'better deal' - 51% off usage AND supply charges. This page has a 51% off banner, with a cartoon stylized woman figure. Check the deal before you submit the change to ensure it is both usage and supply.

2: The original link (and the deal I signed up to) has a photo image with people sitting at an outdoor table. This got me an offer for 52% off my USAGE ONLY (may vary depending on location). This link is: https://www.agl.com.au/localWA
If you signed up to this, people have has some success switching by using the online chat.

    Simply Energy offers the same, I guess all of them offers the same if you ring them up.

    thanks op. quick change plan online from 46% to 51%.

    perth, wa.

    • digitale on 30/06/2021 - 17:39

      Were you on the 46% guaranteed discount for 12 months (and still in the 12 months' period)?

      • PissLUR on 30/06/2021 - 17:39

        yes

        • digitale on 30/06/2021 - 17:43

          Thanks. I just changed to the 46% plan a few months ago, wondering if I should change to this 51% plan 🤔

    "Sorry, it doesn't look like we currently supply energy to your area." Although I am currently connected with AGL!

  • Ehty on 30/06/2021 - 17:34

    The rates will also increase with the new plan.
    NEW
    Anytime : First 12 Units 15.34500 cents/Unit Thereafter 13.83800 cents/Unit
    Supply charge : 22.22000 cents/day

    Current Rates

    Anytime First 12 Units 15.16900 cents/Unit Thereafter 13.68400 cents/Unit

    Supply charge : 21.96700 cents/day

    • PissLUR on 30/06/2021 - 17:40

      the rates have always been on a variable rate. so even if you are on an old plan, these new rates will still apply regardless.

      • Spewdog on 30/06/2021 - 17:52

        Yeah i believe rates are changing either way!

    • bonezAU on 30/06/2021 - 18:03

      I was on an older deal and switched to Origin to save a few $ and get the Woolies rewards points sign up bonus. About a week later I got a call from AGL and they offered me what you have listed under 'Current Rates' above, so I stayed with them. That works out to the 52% disc as well as the cheaper daily supply charge.

      Strangely enough a few hours after I got off the phone with AGL, Woolies confirmed that my Origin sign up bonus points had been credited to my account lol.

      Note: Origin did a credit check on me, so if you are just trying to get the free Woolies points keep this in mind. I was pretty annoyed they did a credit check…

      • LlamaLlamaLamp on 30/06/2021 - 20:10

        How'd you find out they did a credit check? Surprised they didn't warn your first

        • bonezAU on 30/06/2021 - 20:27

          It showed up on my credit file, you can sign up to free services like creditsavvy.com.au, creditsimple.com.au etc and view it as often as you like.
          Plus it was more than likely written in the T&C that I didn't read.

    • whitelie on 30/06/2021 - 18:05

      I was looking at that too, rates are about a 1% increase for maybe 5% saving?

    • RichardF89 on 30/06/2021 - 18:33

      My current rate is
      Anytime $0.1379/Unit
      Supply charge $0.1997

      The new rate is much higher

      • RichardF89 on 30/06/2021 - 18:38

        my bad my rate is exclude GST after I add GST it is the same price

    • vegemite2008 on 29/07/2021 - 22:41

      I receive 50% and are better of with the current rates compared to received 51% but more expensive rates.

      I am very happy with AGL.

      We use a gas heater from 4pm every day until morning 7pm.

      Heats the whole house but still only pay $250 for 94 days.

      Hot water system and cooking stove is gas as well.

      • PissLUR on 06/08/2021 - 09:41

        everyone is on the same variable rate.

  • Spewdog on 30/06/2021 - 17:42

    Change from 50% pay on time to 51% guaranteed. worth the switch.

    • eecchhoo on 30/06/2021 - 17:50

      Same .. i have the 50% for 1.5 year … just switched to 51% … hopefully they keep that rate more than 12 months like my previous discount.

      • Spewdog on 30/06/2021 - 17:51

        in the notes on the plan it said when it expires they will continue the discount to the next period.. see what happens.. just keep an eye out in a year :)

  • MeesusEff on 30/06/2021 - 17:47

    Thanks! Checked my existing account and I had the 52% option

    • digitale on 30/06/2021 - 17:52

      What's the name of your 52% plan?
      I only have:
      AGL SET & FORGET 51% and
      AGL SAVERS 50%
      https://imgur.com/5qT6JnL

      • MeesusEff on 30/06/2021 - 17:58

        I can't see it anymore as it just says "Current plan" I thought it was savers, but now savers is back to 50%. It was the first option for me and I already was on 50% off previously.

        My Current Plan

        PLAN DETAILS
        Discounts off energy usage charges
        52% Guaranteed
        YOU'LL ALSO GET

        • digitale on 30/06/2021 - 18:06

          Ok seems you need to use the link to get 52%. But it says:
          Discounts off energy usage charges 52% Guaranteed

          Whereas the 51% says:
          Discounts off energy usage and supply charges 51% Guaranteed

          So unless you're a big user (~$1000 per quarter), seems the 51% plan is better?

          • MeesusEff on 30/06/2021 - 18:30

            @digitale: Damn yeh I just realised the other one had supply charges as well, the 52% doesn't. Tried to change it again but it errored me, probably try tomorrow as my bill isn't due yet.

      • motherdough on 30/06/2021 - 18:01

          Yes I know, hence why I went from Kleenheat to AGL and not say Alinta

  • digitale on 30/06/2021 - 18:10

    OP, does your 52% plan says "Discounts off energy usage and supply charges"? I tried your link and it says:
    Discounts off energy usage charges 52% Guaranteed

    So it seems no discount on the supply charges.
    Another user also got the same result https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/10676941/redir

    • motherdough on 30/06/2021 - 18:11
      +1

      yes, correct. off both usage and supply charges

      Edit: just re-read your question and yes, it appears as '52% guaranteed, off energy usage charges'. If I try to change to the 51% off deal, the option shows '51% guaranteed, off energy usage AND supply charges'.

      Good pick up I will have to change again. Still waiting on original confirmation email and getting error when trying to change again

      • digitale on 30/06/2021 - 18:27

        Ok thanks for the confirmation. I guess I'll change to the "Discounts off energy usage and supply charges 51% Guaranteed" plan instead.

  • moo on 30/06/2021 - 18:11

    • LlamaLlamaLamp on 30/06/2021 - 20:12

      Dunno why you were down voted? I'd be interested to know too. I would rather my money go to Kleenheat

    • mandelbrot on 30/06/2021 - 20:20

      I tried to price match from kleenheat a couple of years ago when AGL first had their offer. They said no - they couldn't do any better than their current offers at the time. Not sure if their price matching policy has changed since.

  • mandelbrot on 30/06/2021 - 18:14

    As posted elsewhere, I received a notice from Simply stating that the daily supply charge would be around 31 cents from 1 July. This nearly double the regulated capped charge

    I'll probably just change supplier!

  • gosund on 30/06/2021 - 18:37

    I sincerely think this is the biggest legal con of all time. In the beginning, before most of you were born, there was Citipower, who sold you electricity. Then some smart spark in the state government probably got bribed and offered private companies the opportunity to charge consumers whatever they like. Anyone can now resell gas and electricity and make lots of money merely by sending out the bills and answering some calls. They double the prices then offer 50% off the already inflated prices. They all charge different rates for supply and usage, tiers, discounts so it's almost impossible to compare without using excel. And the many companies are laughing all the way to the bank whilst basically doing nothing but sending out bills

    • Ozbargainasaurus on 30/06/2021 - 19:37

      I agree, but what's our alternative?

    • Les1209 on 30/06/2021 - 21:05
      +5

      That may be the case in other states but in WA the discount is actually off a standard rate which is regulated by the government. This is to prevent what you mentioned (doubling rates then offering high discounts). Also electricity in WA is still only retailed through synergy which is a government agency.

      I have a spreadsheet that works this out
      with Kleenheat you pay roughly $49.86 for 2.58 units p/day @ 35% off
      with AGL this deal (51% off usage and supply) this would be about $33.79

      anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

      • Aerith-Waifu on 30/06/2021 - 19:52

        wow thats almost $100 difference right there for the whole year. The link provided didnt work for me, as I dont have an account with AGL yet, do I need to sign up one in order for the link to work? Thanks heaps by putting up this deal.

        • motherdough on 30/06/2021 - 19:56
          +1

          for this bill it is only about $16.07 difference, but for the year it would be about $64 as this is quarterly. I am unsure if you can access this deal if you aren't an existing customer. Maybe try going here: https://www.agl.com.au/ - then 'Get Connected'>'Electricity and Gas Plans' and putting in your address

          • Aerith-Waifu on 30/06/2021 - 20:01

            @motherdough: Thanks that worked,

            Anytime

            Thereafter
            c/Unit13.684
            Supply charge
            c/day21.967

            The supplier charge is about the same as mine, however are these prices per unit of 15.169 before the discount or after the discount? If its after discount its certainly cheaper to go with AGL, if its after the discount, isnt kleenheat cheaper as I am paying: Gas Usage Charge 2.58 Units per day @ 9.87 cents per Unit (incl 35% discount) $23.39?
