    Not bad sign up credits.. Be careful though rate changes are about to happen over the next couple of months so the rates you sign up for today won’t be what you pay in a couple months. They could be trying to entice customers over before they hike the rates.

    Good to join and churn!

    • prankster on 30/05/2024 - 16:21

      oh yeah "Electricity and gas prices and Solar Feed-in tariffs may change around July or August 2024

      Please keep in mind that we are currently reviewing our prices for variable rate electricity and gas plans and they may change around July or August 2024. Solar Feed-in tariffs and tariff types may change around the same time. If that happens, and you’ve signed up, we’ll let you know before the changes take effect."

      but shouldn't it be that you sign up, and thats the rates you get for 1 year? its sucky they can just get you on these rates and then after 2 months can just hike it up by 25% or some shit

      • Iwantthebestprice on 30/05/2024 - 16:36

        The rates you see on the website today will only be valid for the next month or depending when they do their rate change. I have a feeling when I was with AGL ages ago they do Victoria and NSW in July and do all other states in August.

        You won’t know your new rates until you get the email saying them, and last time I was with AGL my rates went up about 25% so yeah make sure to churn!

        • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:04

          Who are you churning to?

          I noticed energy Australia has the bonus sign up offer, but their rates seems high compared to this agl signup offer?

          Same as momentum ( high rate)

  • SmiTTy on 30/05/2024 - 15:43

    Oh far out! I just signed up last night on the $225 credit offer

    • easternculture on 30/05/2024 - 15:45

      It probably hasn't been actioned. Call and ask them to cancel connection request and reapply

    • starspawn on 30/05/2024 - 16:36

      Yeah get on to chat and ask them to add this on

      • easternculture on 30/05/2024 - 16:47

    • Ryoon on 30/05/2024 - 15:50

      exactly, I'm with AGL Special Saver and I was struggling whether I should remain or move with once off credits, my SC is 99.374 cents per day inc GST, 28.875 c/kWh for first 1020 kwh and remaining 29.656 c/kWh. I joined NBN promo today and set the schedule on June.

      • prankster on 30/05/2024 - 16:24

        i'm with energy australia and i am on 27.5 c/kWh and SC is 95.04

        with this plan i am getting 30.613 c/Kwh SC for 88.31 so dunno, i have to do a spreadsheet to compare but then i'm turned off if they can simply decide to change the fee just like that

            @ATangk: yeah but with energy australia at least i've locked this rate for another 9 months …. if i churn to AGL i won't be able to get these rates i have currently (and only got it after i threatened to leave and they gave me a discount lol)

          • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:16

            @ATangk: Who you churning too?

        • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:15

          Would different energy retailers price rise similar? Or those with sign up bonus have more exorbitant price rises?

          I think i read on ozbargain somewhere 25% price rises after taking up sign up bonus in the past , ( energy Australia)

          Im trying to see if churning with sign up bonus still ahead when factoring possible price rise

  • drfuzzy on 30/05/2024 - 15:43

    What does "new and moving" mean? I want to churn and burn.

    • slankets on 30/05/2024 - 17:51

      Are you an existing customer? Are you moving into a place? New meaning not a current customer.

      I was previously an AGL customer about 3 months ago. Does that make me new if I return? I guess so. I'm waiting for Origin's 1 July credit and I'll leave them.

      Edit: read below. Maybe I'm ineligible if I've been with them in the last 12 months.

      • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:19

        Oh 12 months rule for sign up bonus?

    • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:19

      Same here, is this your first time?

      It is mine, looking tips if you have any. Thanks

    churn baby churn!

    just be mindful when churning, Energy Providers conduct credit checks these days, too many in a small period can affect credit score, trust me I know.

    • Iwantthebestprice on 30/05/2024 - 15:49

      Yeah good point, I know the big 4 (red, energy Aus, AGL and Origin) all do a credit check on sign up!

            • Iwantthebestprice on 30/05/2024 - 16:39

              @leeroys_dad: You can’t be rejected by all, if you are you must go with your default retailer, in NSW it’s Energy Australia, but you will be on sky high default rates (not the market rates you see on TV like 25% etc) and just know they will watch you like a hawk and if your debt goes high you can be sure they will want to disconnect you.

              • FlameLash on 30/05/2024 - 19:40

                @Iwantthebestprice: FYI, Energy Australia is only the RoLR in Ausgrid's network area. The rest of NSW is Origin.

              • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:24

                @Iwantthebestprice: Oh no. Worried about churning then

                My mum got rejected with the credit check for the telstra samsung galaxy phone deal a while back

                Is it likely she will get rejected for this agl signup?

                She did have no problem with the origin signup $150. But that time origin didn't say they will do credit check

                Worried as the default price is very high

            • nightelves on 30/05/2024 - 16:52

              @leeroys_dad: You just stayed with my default retailer.

      • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:27

        If my mum dont plan on getting credit card or loans, does credit check even matter?

        The only concern is that the energy retailers would deny uptake of there plan and we would be stuck on very expensive default rate which another user mentioned

      • ATTS on 29/06/2024 - 11:39

        Confused

        That website below user posted said this though

    Be aware that there is another new sign-up credit offer going around which is by invitation over the phone only. Moving both electricity and gas to AGL and they are offering $300 credit on each account on your first bill. On top of that, if you move your NBN to AGL, they are offering another $300 credit on each account again after you stayed for one month. In total that's $1,200 credit, $600 each for electricity and gas.

    • tatnal on 30/05/2024 - 15:54

    • meowdog on 30/05/2024 - 16:31

      I got offered by retention team $300 extra credit if I switched internet too. However when I called back nobody knew about this. I got transferred to their internet department as sales team didn't deal with nbn stuff. And their internet team hung up on me when they heard I didn't have an existing internet account with them (I assume they don't deal with sales). So it's catch 22 nobody knows anything.

      I would recommend getting it in writing and saving the reference number if you can still be bothered by their abysmal customer service.

      • rajsez on 30/05/2024 - 16:55
        -1

        I can back up the above. Coincidentally I initiated my gas transfer fr AGL to another provider 2 wks ago. I then recently got a call from the AGL Retention team who offered me $300 credit to keep my gas with them whilst offering me another $300 to move my electricity (currently with Engie) to AGL as well. Engie service is terrible what more their new app which is a nightmare & I can't even log into my account there or via browser. I would move in a heartbeat but I still have $200+ credit with Engie.

        On separate note, she did also ask me if I was on NBN which I wasn't. So can't comment what the promo would have been for this.

        • easternculture on 30/05/2024 - 18:00

          Same for me but I scheduled the electricity transfer after 6 weeks to ensure I use up most of the engine signup credit

      • db2k on 28/06/2024 - 17:32

        How to get the $300 for elec and gas? I called up earlier this week and was offer it, and called again now and the guy said it ended a long time ago ….

    • DealHunted on 30/05/2024 - 19:06

      I got the call last week and got $300 credit each for electricity and gas. I was also offered the NBN plan that I declined.
      I thought it was a scam as I had not exhausted the previous credit of $225 + $50 (elec + gas) for staying with them and not moving to Engie but got the email the next day as confirmation!

    • rako2002 on 05/06/2024 - 19:51

      yeah - I just got 1200 fom AGL.. I moved away from them as alinta was much cheaper and anyway I wanted to switch to ToU tariff, so I got electricity moved (somehow I missed gas when swithcin to Alinta), moved my NBN from AGL too , and then realised I forgot gas and initiated moving gas.

      That must have triggered some retention process on AGL side, first they sent me an email offering 250 credits if I keep my gas with them, I ignored that and literally 3hrs later they called me offering $600 (300 gas and 300 electricity). During the call the nbn came up and the lady I was talking to asked if I wanted to move my nbn for anoter 600… No brainer…

      No lock-in contracts on top of that on any of the media… she was like "once you use your credits you can move…"….

    • Bob Lou on 13/06/2024 - 12:02

      I called them today(13 Jun), and they told me the offer expired yesterday.
      The electricity and gas rep said after I sign up for electricity and gas first, then the NBN rep will issue me a bonus of $600 credit. But after I signed up and got transferred to NBN department, they told me the bonus credits offer expired, they now only provide $50 for each, so it'll be $100 only.

      • Rodo on 13/06/2024 - 12:43

        So you were only offered a total of $100 to transfer Electricity, Gas and NBN? Of was it $100 to transfer NBN?

        • Bob Lou on 13/06/2024 - 13:45

          $100 to transfer NBN.
          I refused, and also cancelled the sign up for electricity and gas(they offered $225+$50)

    Be careful if you've had a sign up credit from them within the previous 12 months.

    Sign-up credit

    Get a one-off $150 (GST incl.) credit for electricity on your first bill when you sign up to this plan direct with AGL. Offer for new and moving residential customers in VIC only, where AGL operates. The credit amount reduces the price of supply of electricity and is not transferable or refundable. AGL may exclude accounts from receiving more than one upfront credit per fuel in any 12-month period. Not available in conjunction with any other AGL offer, unless otherwise stated. Offer may be varied by AGL.

              @follow: The only deals I have seen with insurance is receiving QFF or velocity points. For example yesterday I cancelled my policy with bingle to sign up to this deal:
              https://insurance.qantas.com/car-insurance

              It cost me $40 cancellation fee x 2, as well as $80 in increased premium over 2 months so $160 total for 40,000 QFF points. Bonus is I did a quote with my Bingle and it should actually be $60 cheaper when I purchase a new policy when I go back to them once I receive points

        • easternculture on 30/05/2024 - 18:04

          I'm starting the churning with car insurance.
          Will start next month when my yearly sub expires end of June.
          Will be starting with TCB CTM offer of $120 CB. Min 30 days for CB to complete to confirm. But the good thing about monthly payments is that they are pro rata refund if you cancel a few days after new month begins. And TCB CTM offer has unlimited policies as per my understanding so hopefully car insurance will cost me less than $40 a month if I'm correct

          If too much credit check for elderly retired can they deny electricity and your stuck with very high default rates with default retailer?

          otherwise you will miss those $100s, $200s…

          The way I see it, they will do whatever turns a profit and disguise it as whatever will get them there. As others mentioned, don’t be loyal and do what’s best for you.
