Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Octopus Energy referral code work?
When you click our referral link and complete your switch to Octopus Energy, £50 credit is automatically added to your new account. The referral is tracked through the link itself — you don’t need to enter a code manually. The credit typically appears within 2–4 weeks after your switch completes and your first Direct Debit payment is taken.
Is this referral link still working in November 2026?
Yes. Our link was last checked on 30 September 2026 and we re-check it automatically every week. If you’re signing up by phone, quote the referral code warm-ant-502.
Are energy bills going up again?
Yes. The Ofgem price cap rose 4% to £1,723 a year for a typical household from 1 October. Forecasters expect a further rise of 16–26% in January 2027. Ofgem will confirm the figure in late November 2026. See our price cap page for the latest figures.
Should I fix my energy before the next rise?
A fixed tariff locks your unit rates, so a rise in the price cap won’t affect you until the fix ends. Whether it saves money depends on the fixed price versus where the cap ends up. Read our guide to fixing and try the bill rise calculator.
How long does switching take?
Switching typically takes around 5 working days under Ofgem’s faster switching rules. Octopus handles the entire process with your old supplier.
Will I lose my gas or electricity supply during the switch?
No. Your energy supply is continuous. The same pipes and wires deliver your energy — only the company that bills you changes.
Can I use this referral if I’m already with Octopus?
No, the referral credit is for new customers. If you’re already a customer, you’ll have your own referral link in your Octopus account to share with friends and family.
