        If you've just built your house and the initial connection hasn't been made to the property, that is a new connection.

    EnergyAustralia is Australia's 2nd biggest climate polluter.
    Plans to burn coal until 2040.
    Frequently causes local environmental harm.

    One of the worst of the worst energy retailers: 1 star at https://greenelectricityguide.org.au.

    If you have a choice of retailer, choose someone better!

    • Gary Gary Gary on 06/06/2022 - 14:53

      How on Earth are you getting downvoted for pointing out that these guys have a terrible business model for their use of coal?
      This is great information, Thank you!

      It's a retail deal. Every retailer provide the same elec & gas. Wires and pipes are the same. It's just a price thing.

      Bourgey attitudes come at a price though. Until green power is at parity or below the cost of coal fired electricity, it remains unattractive. Until the BRIC countries commit to & actually reduce their emissions any reduction Australia makes is negated by their increased output.

      • Corgsta on 07/06/2022 - 21:10

        It is. In the U.S. the price per kWh of coal generation by existing plants is higher than the price per kWh of building new solar generation. In Australia I am not certain but I believe it’s close. For example, It’s just by virtue of the brown coal mine being right next to Loy Yang that is so cheap to transport there and burn it that it’s still pretty cheap to generate with.

    From linked CR page:

    Cashback will only be eligible when you sign up to gas & electricity plans via Cashrewards by clicking the 'Shop Now' button from this page.

    Only shows Energy Australia - Flexi Plan (Variable Rate) on EA website.

    • poiterbad on 06/06/2022 - 14:31

      The plan that showed up for me when I signed up through the Cashrewards button was the Flexi plan and said $50 credit per energy source.

      • Brodo Faggins on 06/06/2022 - 14:35

        Thanks OP - The Flexi plan is now $75 credit each energy source + CR.
        However still variable rates.

    • bauser99 on 06/06/2022 - 14:32
      +1

      Good point. So it looks like if you pick a fixed rate plan there’s no Cashback?!?

      • Brodo Faggins on 06/06/2022 - 14:36

        Yes that's my understanding from CR's T&Cs.
        You have to click "Shop Now" from CR and this takes you EA's website, only showing Flexi Plan (var rates) electricity/gas.
        Above that EA page, there's a hyperlink "Compare all plans" - which I assume negates CR.

        However, EA's - No Frills Plan (Fixed) is still top 3 (imo) for fixed rates atm (NSW) - but no CR, only $75 (or $150) credit for new customers.

              @Brodo Faggins: that you have to click through and apply for any plan you can’t go direct to the ea website. i pmed TA for clarification

              • Brodo Faggins on 06/06/2022 - 14:54

                @[Deactivated]: I agree - that's true if you want CR for Flexi Plan (variable).

                If you want fixed, you won't be rewarded CR cashback.

                • chrisharry53 on 15/06/2022 - 10:29

                  @Brodo Faggins: I have raised a claim as didn’t track for No Frills plan. BTW, Red Energy have a better fixed rate plan imo.

                  • Brodo Faggins on 15/06/2022 - 13:21

                    @chrisharry53: Ummm the claim only tracks for CR's "shop now" plans, only showing Flexi Plan (var rates) electricity/gas.

                    Not No Frills.

                      To answer your question, yes both Flexi Plan and No Frills are eligible for cashback but only for new Energy Australia customer signups.

  • scrimshaw on 06/06/2022 - 14:31

    Cashback Only on variable rates. You do not want this, electricity prices are increasing so you should be hunting for fixed rates.

    • poiterbad on 06/06/2022 - 14:32

      Could sign up just for the bonus then switch once you have it?

      • scrimshaw on 06/06/2022 - 14:41

        You have to remain connected for 180 days.

        This might be okay if you carefully watch your energy usage — or if you are the only person living at home. But if you're a regular household of 3-4 and are spending lots of money on running heating, gas for hot water etc, your $270 cashback and $50 bonus could quickly evaporate away.

    • [Deactivated] on 06/06/2022 - 14:41

      not true when i checked? cashback on any plan and bill credit varies by plan

      (click “compare all our plans” to see more options)

  • [Deactivated] on 06/06/2022 - 14:34

    just checked and my offer was $75 bill credit per service but on variable rate plans and $50 on fixed for 12 month plans. that extra $25 could disappear quickly unless you churn away

  • screensaver on 06/06/2022 - 14:37

    I just signed up for 120 cashback and 75 credit at shopback (econnex) a couple of days ago. This is better.

    I had many problems with Energy Australia in Canberra. They overestimated my gas bill by 3x (bill was over $300 just for two people staying in an apartment)

    It was a pain in the ass trying to resolve it, nearly took more than a month. They did give a goodwill credit but the amount offered wasn’t totally worth for our efforts as had to get the ombudsman involved

    Negging this deal bc of EnergyAustralia

    • bashar20 on 06/06/2022 - 14:48

  • ozbozb on 06/06/2022 - 16:11

    Any other good recommendation for Sydney? Preferably fixed rate?
    and yea when I go through CR, I can only see the variable rate.

    • RedBlueRedBlue2000 on 06/06/2022 - 16:15

      There should be a button which says “compare all plans”. This should allow you to see the no frills/fixed plan.

      • ozbozb on 06/06/2022 - 16:29

        Yes I have seen that but I don't think the CR work on that.

    • Thegood05 on 06/06/2022 - 16:23

      Alinta or AGL if the rates are good in your area.

      • ozbozb on 06/06/2022 - 16:28

        I just checked both. Neither is offering fixed rate

        • Brodo Faggins on 06/06/2022 - 21:38

          Correct both are variable - I even read both their T&C's and also called them both (waited 30mins each) to ask this quick question.

          • sintro on 07/06/2022 - 16:18

            @Brodo Faggins: The cashback and sign up credit will make up for the price increase… just switch again for another cashback bonus in 6 months.

    • Sweet3st on 06/06/2022 - 16:35

      I believe all plans are eligible as long as the sign up is made via CR and you're directed from Cashrewards to EA site.

      • Brodo Faggins on 06/06/2022 - 21:41

        As I posted above here and here, I don't think so.

        Unless CR is cookie tracking based, and not based on URL link or what's physically displayed on EA website, then yes you may be right.

        Keen to see TA confirm this. Then CR T&C's would have to change to include all new EA plans, not just the one shown from the CR "Shop now" button.

    • stan-C on 06/06/2022 - 16:42

      Hope TA would comment here to confirm

      • Sweet3st on 07/06/2022 - 16:50

        Yeah I think you guys are right. I signed up to few different plans (NSW) through CR and the only one that generated a CR ref was Flexi. The others generated BB. TA says the EA contact isn’t available and this deal ends tomorrow. Probably dodgy EA marketing I’d say. Still you can give it a go and pull out if it doesn’t track, there’s a cooling off period.

  • eman resu on 06/06/2022 - 16:34

    So many complainers here. Who said you have to be married to the business. Sign up, take the bonus back and move to another provider who is giving another bonus. I have switched electricty companies 8 times in the last 12 months and saved over $1000 through use of bonuss and gift cards given.

    • hzhang on 06/06/2022 - 17:53

      I think you need to stay with them for 6 months to get the cashback.

        nah

        • eman resu on 07/06/2022 - 10:23

          180 for them to confirm the reward, and given what people here are saying about not getting the cashback forget it. This is way too much to ask for such a lousy reward.

    • Borg on 06/06/2022 - 20:52

      @ eman resu
      You wrote: I have switched electricty companies 8 times in the last 12 months

      So you change every 1.5 months….yeah right. I monitor Energy closely and if you choose the correct supplier, you should be good for at least 6 months before considering changing.
      One thing to also consider. Smaller companies may chose to not allow you back in if they see you are gaming the system and probably more so now with current Energy price rises.

      • [Deactivated] on 06/06/2022 - 21:13

        it’s all about the sign up bonuses

        • Borg on 06/06/2022 - 22:03

          But most require you remain for a period of time. Regardless, I still find it hard to believe 8 different suppliers within a year and all having bonuses without conditions.

            +1

            @Borg: with a smart meter you can change suppliers pretty often and only red energy has a time limit that i recall, most suppliers you can change back straight away it’s not like credit cards

            • Borg on 07/06/2022 - 00:15

              @[Deactivated]: Ok, fair enough and must have been viewing or misreading some deals. Will pay more attention.
              One caveat for me though is that current plan is cheap, if moving away
              - would be going to a more expensive plan (ok so bonus offers negates initially).
              - if I moved back, existing cheaper plan no longer exists nor any as cheap.
              - chance of supplier red falling you and not allowing one to sign up with them (risk factor)?

              I think in the coming months, there will be less of these deals around and more about trying to get a decent 12 month lock in rate……who knows!

    Eneregy Australia rejected my cashrewards, the reason was not the same name with the Cashrewards and EA. That is ridiculars, this is the first time I got rejected by the energy company. Also their price is really expensive compare to other comapny and you need to stay at least 6 months to get this cashback. Be aware of that.

        • Sweet3st on 07/06/2022 - 18:25

    Thanks OP. Signed by for both electricity and gas 'Total Plan'. Slightly cheaper than my current AGL plan. Hope the cashback works.

  • Sweet3st on 15/06/2022 - 12:56

    I signed up to more than one plan, trying to see if the contract started with CR. Signed up to No Frills first, Flexi second, Total third. So they canceled the No Frills and Total and kept Flexi with no communication with me. Rep said only way I can have No Frills is if I do a new sign up (miss out on bonus), so I cancelled the lot. My son signed up to No Frills only, still no tracking. Not holding my breath.

    • chrisharry53 on 16/06/2022 - 14:14

      See my comment below. I am now just waiting on CR to confirm with EA that I am with them. My electricity switched retroactively and next gas read due in July. Appears all good.

  • chrisharry53 on 16/06/2022 - 11:16

    Great news for all that signed up to the No Frills plan. I just got this and with a sample plan that started with ref BB and not CR.

    "Hi Chris,

    Thanks for contacting us in relation to your EnergyAustralia signup. I am more than happy to assist with your query.

    To answer your question, yes both Flexi Plan and No Frills are eligible for cashback but only for new Energy Australia customer signups.

  • chrisharry53 on 24/06/2022 - 08:21

    My electricity and gas cashback amounts finally tracked after sign up 6/6/22 to No Frills plan for $270 bonus, I clicked on compare plans from landing page. I did raise the matter with CR and so no idea if it would have just happened anyway.

    Also have $50 sign up credit for electricity but not gas yet. Also got $50 goodwill credit as I complained about retrospective start date for electricity plan as I actually didn’t notice but said the customer should have the option especially as I was going from a cheaper plan to a fixed rate plan.
