Refer a friend … you get credit! They get credit!
When you refer a friend and they sign up to an Origin energy home or business plan, we credit your account and theirs.
You both get the credit after they pay their first bill. Only available to new or moving customers who sign up online using the referral code. They cannot have received a credit from Origin in the previous 12 months. Not redeemable for cash. One credit per address.
$150 credit each for referrer and referee.
Referrer and referee get $10 of Spike Points
the ozb referral link system handles that, and provides a 'weighting' increased chance for them being the OP
TIL
And you can find out the referer real name that way as well, good way for identity leak.
ooh no my real name WOWoooOoo
Damn, they got Nick Fury, gonna sign up with his referral!
Well I'm not with origin so unsure of the details it gave.
Can we have the refferal link updated so it can allow to new format?
We are looking at it right now, I just need to update the Reg.Ex rule
Thank you!
Enabled.
For the people referring, please take note of referral format, it is https://m.origin.com.au/e/{ReferralCode} and not the Spike referral code.

I want this…but have no friends. I mean…no friends who are Origin energy customers. No…I meant no friends sigh
One credit per address.
People should remove their referral link once it’s been successfully used.
The Existing Customer receives one credit per New Customer for each supply address the New Customer signs up with Origin. The New Customer receives one credit per supply address signed up with Origin. Credit will be applied to the electricity account, unless the New Customer or Existing Customer only has natural gas with Origin, in which case the credit will be applied to the natural gas account.
Has Origin paid out part 1 of the 4 part $300 federal government payment yet?
I'm looking to jump ship from my existing provider, however they seem to have no idea when it will be applied.
Yes, it was credited to my account around the start of August.
What if you haven’t received it?
Wait for your next bill, if it's not on there then, follow it up.
Thanks. I'm with Ovo in Victoria and they haven't paid it. Can't churn out until they do…
I was also waiting and i figured id be spendkng much more waiting than actively churning, plus im sure when one of my retailers actually receives it they legally need to pay it out
Payout varies per state. I want to port from Origin and if new retailer doesn't pay it then I'll go to the ombudsman. I don't think it should restrict us moving as we see fit.

I’m in exactly the same boat almost used up the 3x $50 credits plus monthly referral credits so just waiting for the government credit so I can port out to the next best deal which might be origin by the looks for a couple months unless I get a free referral bonus’s lol
Yes I have received the $75 for this quarter. They didn't really send any email or notification but when I checked on the app, it says I owed them x amount from the most recent statement minus $75
I haven't received it yet in Vic via Momentum but my last bill was early August. Has anyone else in Vic received the $75?
I haven't. Also in Vic with Momentum, last bill was 12/08 with charges to 04/08.
Also want to jump ship but waiting for my $75
From what I’ve been told the first payment should be credited on your first bill after August but if you were billed in the first week or so of August it might end up being on your next bill. Then Oct 1st is the next one I can’t remember the last 2 dates though I think Dec 1st and Feb 1st it wasn’t the logical quarterly dates of Jan 1st and March 1st though which was weird!
Makes sense- my bill was issued on the 9th this month and it didn’t include the rebate. However the amount I paid was $75 less than what’s on the bill. So I guess the next bill will reflect this.
If this government endorsed and protected cartel member can afford to give $300 for a new customer, I have to ask, how deep does it gouge for a Return on Investment?
(The cynic in me lives)
They can afford as they own virtual solar networks. They buy the kw from you for peanuts and sell it for 0.35c per KW
Can this stack with everyday rewards plan? Referral is a link or code?
mmm ok I tried to show you how the link is constructed replacing the code with "xxxx" but got automatically removed :(
Anyway it's a link to the Origin website followed by a code, not sure if the code can be entered manually when you sign up or you need to click on the actual link
They usually don’t stack but read the terms and conditions and if it doesn’t explicitly say offers can’t be combined then you might be able to call after your first bill and get them to credit you but it’s unlikely to automatically apply both. I had to call OVO to get them to apply both the referral bonus and the $50x3 months sign up bonus and they really didn’t want to do it.
Rates are beyond horrendous here in Vic, northern suburbs.
Still worth it for signing up for 1 month then leave I guess. Just be sure to sign up for monthly billing instead of quarterly.
I think we have it pretty good here in Victoria esp comparing with SA and QLD with their peak supply fees (they pay supply rate plus usage rates then an extra daily charge which Is based on the highest kW demand 1/2 hour over the entire month) at least we still have the option of flat rates for usage which you can find under 25c per easily although daily fees are getting out of hand now only a couple of years ago I was paying under 50c yet now you are lucky to find one under $1 with many pushing $1.50 which is insane esp if you are a very low user like myself. So much for competition making things cheaper for consumers lol Thanks Jeff Kennett
I guess my comments was made in comparison against other retailers for the same house. I've got no insights vs other states or locations at all.
I am utter amazed you didn’t throw in your referral code into the description.
Actually, might pay to do so incase people don’t have a friend with origin currently so they can start
