Econnex Cashback Offer - Gas & Electricity $250, Electricity $150, Gas $100, Broadband $100, Solar Install $200 @ TopCashback AU

190

Was checking for cashback options on the different cashback sites and saw this Econnex offer with TopCashback AU.

Seems slightly higher than the latest CR offers but t&c's seem not as thorough and time to payment longer.

I could not find an end-date.

Gas & Electricity - $250
Solar Installation - $200
Electricity - $150
Gas - $100
Broadband - $100

Per t&c's:
Cashback is eligible only on Solar, Energy (electricity & gas), and Broadband products on a completed purchase & payment of a policy. A completed quote is not an eligible purchase and will therefore be ineligible for cashback.
Cashback is ineligible on Mobile, Credit Cards, and any products not listed as eligible.
Important: Once the retailer has approved the lead, Econnex transactions will take up to 50 days to appear in your account. Do not lodge a cashback claim prior to this.
Cashback will be confirmed after your product or service has been active for at least 90 days. Payment may take 50 - 90 days after validation.
Cashback is ineligible on use of any codes not approved and posted by TopCashback.
Cashback is ineligible on use of gift cards for payment and/or purchase of gift cards.
Cashback is ineligible on purchases made via the retailer's mobile app.

    Another energy cashback choice.
    Few days ago, took up Econnex Deal ($200 MC for electricity) & up to $150 electricity credit depending on provider.

    Unlike this 90 days to remain connected. That only required 45 day. (Used to be 30d)
    Then can churn again.

    Have been switching retailers for years - for the incentives! Paid all my electricity bills (all electric aircon home, no solar).

    • I missed out on the deal you linked. Only started shopping around after i got my latest electricity bill where i used up electricity credits. Will wait a couple of days for gas bill to come to see if those are fully used up too else will just switch electricity.

      With Econnex, how do you ensure you're a "new"/eligible customer as a churner?

        No restriction by Econnex.
        Depends on the retailer you choose - if they consider you a new customer.

        Some restrict benefits to only once a year (eg Energy Australia), based on your home address.

        I've signed up to PowerShop through Econnex 6 times, sometimes more than once in same year - using same details. Receiving $150 electricity credit. So have 6 different accounts!

        Switched from Origin to PowerShop in December Econnex Deal. Origin sent over $1100 credit to my bank (unused cost of living rebates in Qld)šŸ’°

        I like PowerShop. But as that's my current retailer, needed to choose a different one for next 45 days. Then likely back to PowerShop.

        Probably best to use a different email at signup. But no way to disguise location of your home to be a new customer!

        Usually good advice given in Deal comments.

        • thanks

          how it works? do you use same name but different phone number and email?

          • +1

            @xiazai0003: With PowerShop - my own (same) name, email, phone number. 6 times with 6 different accounts with same details.

    • What's the usual wait to churn? 90 days seems long. Do 45d / 30d deals come up frequently?

      • +2

        Directly with Econnex, used to be 30 day min. Changed to 45 days this month.

        I usually remain until joining credit with retailer is used up. Had $150 electricity credit in December. Churned few days ago.
        For me - about 60 days before churning.

        Depends on when next good Deal is posted.
        Have been a few in last month.

    • Missed that deal, do you reckon it is worth doing this and being locked in for 3 months or waiting for another Econnex deal?

    90 days.. too much

      true.
      lets hope TCB AU can get better terms for their next Econnex partnership.
      hint hint @tightarse :)

    It's unfortunate they want to data-harvest your name, address, email, and phone number before you can see what internet plans they offer, grrrrr, stuff themā€¦

    Reading their Privacy Policy it sounds like they'll dish out your info to anyone and everyone to make a buckā€¦

    • How else do they provide a cashback offer? No different to social media selling your data.

      • Kickbacks from the companies they refer you to for the actual product you purchaseā€¦

        Personally I rather not get daily phone calls offering scammy solar deals or the likesā€¦ (as things are now I get basically no email or phone spam and I'd like to keep it that way)

  • Has not tracked yet on TCB. Does this take up to 50 days?

    • +1

      that's what their t&c's say.

      "Important: Once the retailer has approved the lead, Econnex transactions will take up to 50 days to appear in your account. Do not lodge a cashback claim prior to this."

      Also:
      "Missing cashback claims must be lodged within 100 days of purchase."

      Hopefully you didn't have anything on that could block tracking.

  • Just received my gift cards from a previous deal (November promo). Email is from 'Karta Rewards' - It looks like spam. Check your inbox's people!

    Note that this was not from a cashback deal. Just a heads up for anyone who signed up for the Karta Rewards promo from November.

      Came on here to say this too - just received the same email around 15 minutes ago from rewards@karta.com.au

      "Here is your $200 Gift Card for switching your utility through Econnex Exclusive Offer."

    • +1

      Yeah I just received the $200 and $100 from November. I was hoping I'd be able to link the card details to one of my Paypal accounts and then transfer the balance to another one of my Paypal accounts, but it doesn't look like that works. I was able to add the cards to Paypal, but I can't transfer the funds to another account.

      Anyway, I'm happy I received them with no hassle.

  • If I sign up for EA, will I also get the $200 credit?
