    Hi Manyo bro,
    Which company gives bettter deal for solar feed in in Western sydney area 2765?
    Just want to save some time on checking :)
    Thx

    is this the same thing as last time, if so, can i apply use this site to change retailers again and get another $270 gift card

    • Junk Sifter on 01/12/2022 - 00:52

      You'll cop the disconnection and connection fees though.

      • michael9865 on 01/12/2022 - 00:53

        don't get it, most if not all have no connection and disconnection fee

        • seanbaussie on 01/12/2022 - 04:42

          In SA, there is a fee for a special meter reading which can be some ridiculous amount.

      • INFIDEL on 01/12/2022 - 01:42

        There isn't any physical disconnection and connection of your electricity supply that those fees apply to, just changing who you are paying the bill to. So no fees for that!

        • Royale with cheese on 01/12/2022 - 08:17
          +1

          They do charge for meter readings at the end

            +1

            @Royale with cheese: Depends on retailer. Have swapped electricity retailers many times & not been charged. Had manual reads. Check your retailer fees.
            (Don't have gas, so don't know about their processes.)

            No manual read if have an electricity smart meter, so no charge. Powershop used to install them free for customers.

            • Royale with cheese on 01/12/2022 - 10:01
              +1

              @INFIDEL: Energy australia has always charged me fee for the meter read when i have changed from them. I think AGL did the same. Its not the disconnection fee which is not there. I guess its different with different providers

              • INFIDEL on 01/12/2022 - 10:08

                @Royale with cheese: With complaints here about those retailers, I've fortunately avoided those fees.

                Powershop installed free a smart meter - ending manual reads.

                But it's something to look out for!
                Always check the fees & charges before swapping retailers!

    Does it need to stay connected for a certain period?

    • ezzaf on 01/12/2022 - 07:35

      T & C says 30 days, credit paid within 4 months.

    • AssociatedManyo @ Econnex on 01/12/2022 - 16:35

      Hey randomdude14, as per the terms and conditions, in case the switch or connection is cancelled within the first 30 days from the activation date, the transaction would be deemed invalid and you will not be eligible to receive a gift card.

  • Jolakot on 01/12/2022 - 00:34

    Is OVO Energy included in the list?

    • Behappy on 01/12/2022 - 00:36

      Is ovo good?

      • Jolakot on 01/12/2022 - 00:44

        They're the cheapest with a 4.3 star rating on productreview, seems decent

        • Oofy Doofy on 01/12/2022 - 01:18

          They do credit checks. Just something to be aware of.

        • INFIDEL on 01/12/2022 - 01:54

          Ovo Cheapest… Not in my experience - depends on location, usage, & other factors. Do your own calculations / comparisons.

          My first month bill is almost double previous month with Alinta. Despite lower energy use & given $10/m credit by Ovo. Not what I calculated.

          Ovo is more complex as a prepaid service, automatically billing a preset amount before each month. Downside: They wildly overestimated my first payment. Finally got a refund of $143 for first month prepayment. Was still higher than actual bill.

          Was convinced by different comparison service to change to Ovo…
          Connected 5/10 shown on bill
          Need to stay 60d to qualify for $150 gift card (4/12)
          Seems like the time to leave!

          • Jolakot on 01/12/2022 - 12:29

            @INFIDEL: They're only the cheapest for us as they'll pay 12c/kWh for the first 4000kWh, compared to our current plan which only pays us 7c/kWh

            If we used the majority of our 6.6kWh, or if we had a smaller setup, then it doesn't seem worth it as they charge a premium. But given we'd be exporting close to that 4000kWh limit, it seems like a phenomenal deal

    • ezzaf on 01/12/2022 - 07:34

      They are for my postcode in VIC.

    • AssociatedManyo @ Econnex on 01/12/2022 - 16:36

      Hey mate, yes we have OVO energy plans available on the link-https://www.econnex.com.au/ozbargain-econnex/

  • HunterDes on 01/12/2022 - 00:39

    Is the credit check standard procedure? I'm new to this

    • WhyAmICommenting on 01/12/2022 - 00:43
      +1

      Yeah, they will credit check, which is annoying as I blocked my credit report after Optus crap, so I need to unblock just for this.

  • mystarey on 01/12/2022 - 02:07
    +1

    Well, this was an odd experience. Timely, because I just got the notice that my current plan will be expiring in a little over a month. This service offered me a better deal than both the ActewAGL site and the Energy Made Easy comparison tool was able to give, but it was just another ActewAGL plan that I guess is exclusive to Econnex? So I figured I'd sign up, regardless of eligibility the $150 (electricity only) bonus.

    Was a bit worried when I saw the identity verification options only being "Driver's Licence" and "Foreign Passport". Barely any organisation accepts my ACT Proof of Age card in lieu of the licence because it has no expiry date, and so it proved. So I thought the deal was dead. But then it turns out "Foreign Passport" includes an option for Australia, which is utterly confusing.

    Then I remembered that since I am a former Optus customer affected by the hack, my passport would not work with the Document Verification Service. But it did. So that's kind of good but also kind of bad. Good because I do at least have a usable form of identity still available for verification. Bad because it means Optus lied once again, and my exposed passport number is potentially out there to be exploited by bad people.

    So yeah, that was a mess. But at least I get to keep my current electricity rate for another year instead of copping a price increase.

    • Pricetaker on 01/12/2022 - 09:00

      The passport may/should have failed on DVS as only good for Travel but your ID combo may have passed on energy provider rules set up/ other data sources

    • seanbaussie on 01/12/2022 - 11:35

    Some key terms that really should be in the OP:

    Eligible Recipients will receive a Woolworths Store Bonus eGift Card by email up to 90-120 days after successfully switching your energy.

    In case the switch or connection is cancelled within the first 30 days from the activation date, the transaction would be deemed invalid and you will not be eligible to receive a gift card.

    Gift Cards are valid for 3 months from the issue date and are not reloadable or redeemable for cash.

    • INFIDEL on 01/12/2022 - 09:30
      +1

      Switched under same rule in May. Everything worked fine.

      $100 Wish gift card offered arrived within 90d.

      3 months to use gift card is plenty of time. Woolies reset mine to 4 months for some reason. Set a reminder to use.

      There is a 10d cooling off period before the swap starts. Check the start date on first bill. Factor that into next swap date.

      Stayed with Alinta for 3 months before swapping, as rates were lower than previous electricity retailer.

      Will be swapping again with this offer.

  • Vita85 on 01/12/2022 - 08:07

    I'd be very wary of this. I switched my Internet with the $100 offer. Even though it's a custom landing page with the shopback logo, no cashback was tracked. After two weeks I contacted chat and luckily i had taken a screenshot of the order confirmation page. I was asked to submit a cashback claim and included the screenshot. Been over a week. Not a peep from shopback. Oh also the click tracked so wasn't an issue from my end.

  • GeneralSkunk on 01/12/2022 - 08:22

    I jumped on the Lumo energy rate lock back in June before everyone hiked rates. Paying 25c peak/15c off peak/6.7c FIT/$1 a day supply in Vic. When I did an energy compare to get the $250 handout from the Vic govt (that website is so useless), everything it offered was much more expensive than I’m on. Would have to keep jumping around in these upfront incentives to make it worthwhile.

    Hi there,

    Question: Moving homes soon and in the new place they are offering 'seene', a 'centralized electricity, hot water and stovetop service'.

    I understand that in Australia I can opt my own provider and no obligation to sign up with them.
    However, my question is on the Hot Water site of things? If the Apartment uses hot water, will signing up for electricity/gas combo fulfill everything, or do I need for a hot water supplier as well?

    Appreciate your response..

    I understand that you can only use this promo every 6 months. But does it apply to each services individually or regardless?

    I switched both electricity and gas on 18/11/22, however I received SMS saying "Hi XXX, Unfortunately, your application for transfer of Electricity hasn't gone through due to some technical reasons." So only the gas has been transferred.

    If I apply to transfer electricity again using this promo, will I be eligible for the gift card? Or because I had used Econnex to transfer gas last month, I won't be eligible for another 6 months?

      Hey mate, yes you will be eligible for the cash back from the retailer, and if you sign up through the link provided, you will be eligible for the gift card.

        Nah, what he was asking was if he could get both - gift cards and $171 cashback from a single switchover..

      Hey KpopOppa, this offer cannot be used in conjunction with any other corporate offer or discount.

      In other words, if there is any offer from retailer side, you will be eligible for the offer, but you can only get 1 either cashback from Shopback or gift card from this offer, kindly keep in mind, in order to be eligible for the gift card you must use the link provided for the sign up.

    Signing up for electricity in Brisbane…
    Choice of Ovo (current retailer), Alinta & En Australia.
    Found the process a bit confusing.

    There are numerous rate options for each retailer with different prices. Some were not available at my location.
    Thought I could just sign up for cheapest rates…

    Rang Ovo - rate conditions (Controlled Load 1 or 2, Demand, Time of Use, etc) are set by electricity supplier based on meter, not by retailer. No choice of rate.

    Need to select appropriate rate based on meter conditions. (Those were not stated on bills, making comparison more difficult.)

    When I changed to OVO just over 60d ago, the rates were much higher than expected (based on my incorrect reading of cheaper rate). Ovo bill was double my previous tiny bill with Alinta.

    Signed up with Alinta - for the $150 gift card👍
