    Does the switch need to happen by the 21st? Or can I schedule my internet to switch early Feb?

    Edit: looks like it is fine as long as you apply within the promotion period and the plan takes effect within 30 days of application.

    "Promotion available on qualifying Energy Plan and Internet plan applications made between 16th January 2025 and 21st January 2025"

    "Your Internet Plan must be activated within 30 days from the date of application."

    Seems too good to be true! Assuming you don’t end up with an awful rate - but even if you do - switch away again after 30 days no?

    • nightelves on 16/01/2025 - 13:11

      Eligible Recipients will receive the applicable Card/s by email up to 90-120 days after connecting to the relevant plan/s.

      • digitalane on 16/01/2025 - 13:16

        Yep - but doesn’t seem to be any reason you couldn’t switch after 30 days and just wait for your cards

          Yep in the last one I switched after 30 days. Had forgotten all about it but then got my gift cards in emails after about 120 days.

        That's what I am looking at. For electricity $200 for switching with Econnex and $200 from the company (Engie). For internet (which I was planning on changing next billing cycle anyways) its an extra $100. Not bad all up.

          I was about to switch to Engie yesterday for $200 bonus. Luckily missed to complete registration, will do now for extra bonus from Econnex

        • digitalane on 16/01/2025 - 13:38

          Do Engie have the $200 credit on this deal though? I couldn’t see it

        but chop and change after the 30 days and you've fulfilled your agreement.

        No:

          Oh it's changed. Thank you and fixed.

      Yes, rates aren't flash, but chop and change after the 45 days and you've fulfilled your agreement. Sometimes there's sign up bonuses with the provider that stack on top of the gift cards. For example $200 off your first bill.

  • UnrealMacaw on 16/01/2025 - 14:19

    Would it stack with red energy qantas points offer?

    (I'll try to figure it out but I thought there might be a pro here. And I know red energy do that bad backdating thing. I'll wait until just after the meter read from current provider and switch for qantas points then out again.)

    Does it stack with ShopBack?

    • churningNburning on 16/01/2025 - 14:23

      People have had mixed success with this, but the general consensus is no, it doesn't stack.

    Thanks for sharing. I've churned many times but never noticed all the fees around remote connection and site access fees around connection and disconnection. What's this all about? Is it not relevant if I am simply churning at an existing property?

  • Zapwap on 16/01/2025 - 14:29

    Did not receive any GCs from the last deal. Signed up for all three, elec, gas & internet. Called econnex and they just keep bouncing it off their 'internal' teams.

    I should downvote this deal but just waiting for others in the same boat to confirm.

    • churningNburning on 16/01/2025 - 14:35

      No, it takes between 90 and 120 days to receive the gift cards. We'd be looking at the end of February to mid March for these to be sent out.

      • Zapwap on 16/01/2025 - 14:45

        I guess I copied in the wrong deal, it was last to last somewhere around June 2024.

          Oh I see, check through your spam and deleted items in your email. It comes from 'Karta Rewards' - looks like spam.

          Failing that message this user - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/user/199794

          They seem pretty responsive in helping everyone.

      I received my $200 not from the last deal but the previous one

    What's with the "may receive" and "a chance to earn" language? Is that just legal speak or something? Sounds dodgy. Keen to try this if its legit though.

    Have received my Karta prepaid Mastercard eGift Cards ($150 for Elec, $100 for Gas) via email for the deal posted in early sep https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/864414
    This was on top of the Engie credits of $200 each for Elec and Gas. So in total $650 worth of free money.

    • churningNburning on 16/01/2025 - 14:54

      Yeah I got these gift cards just before Christmas. Happy Days!

  • mrhugo on 16/01/2025 - 15:22

    Engie looks OK with $200 per fuel signup.

    I last signed up with Engie (Simply Energy) back at the end of November 2023. Electricity ported over about 10 days after, but Gas took till Mid Feb 2024 to come over.

    For the new sign up credit ($200 + $200) the T&C state:

    Your offer includes a one-off welcome credit of $200 on your first electricity bill and $200 on your first gas bill (total of $400 for gas and electricity), provided you have not received a welcome credit from us in the past 12 months. This credit includes GST and is not redeemable for cash.

    I wonder if this is 12months from signup, or 12months from the utility becoming active under the new provider?

    • wisdomtooth on 16/01/2025 - 16:23

      I'll bet your $200 it's the latter.

  • lostanairpod on 16/01/2025 - 15:53

    Does this deal work if you click "switch and save" to a deal you are already on? Already on AGL gas (value saver) yet the Engie Perks electricity deal I want has the same AGL gas (value saver) as part of the package? Or does it mean i won't be eligible for the bonus $100 gas mastercard.

    • regenade on 16/01/2025 - 16:36

      Just sign up to a different provider then you currently are, best off to sign up for Engie for both Elec and Gas as only Engie is providing $200 credit each for each fuel on top of the EConnex gift card

      • wisdomtooth on 16/01/2025 - 16:39

        Can I sign up for gas, if I don't have gas in the house?

        Just askin'…

  • wisdomtooth on 16/01/2025 - 16:15

    I just pulled the trigger on electricity, was about to do the same on internet, and… WTF is this $300 "New Development Fee"??

    • drfuzzy on 16/01/2025 - 16:28

      It's the standard NBN fee, nothing new. You can google it.

      • wisdomtooth on 16/01/2025 - 16:33

        But, I've already got NBN… I'd be churning 🤔

  • jimbler on 16/01/2025 - 16:38

    This is going to be tricky. Just signed up with Engie a week ago, but still in cooling off period.

    Do I cancel with them and then try and sign up again using this link, or do I just go to Powershop instead.

    I'm worried that Engie will stuff it up and refuse to credit me with the $200 welcome credit if they see I've already been in their system…..even though it was only a few days and cancelled within cooling off period.

    • wisdomtooth on 16/01/2025 - 16:40

      Cooling off is cooling off! If you don't do it, I'll dob you to the OzB authorities, and have your credentials revoked XD

  • DoctorArd on 16/01/2025 - 16:45

    Thanks, OP. Churning electricity providers is my new favourite thing. I think I am still in $129 credit with Engie so I will switch using this after my next bill.
