Hi, I'm considering switching my gas/elec twice in one year. Do you get cashback twice from energy club if you do so.
I'm factoring cashback as part of the savings to be made.

    You will get cashback on however many switches you make. You may not get it if you switch to a different deal with the same supplier or go back to a previous supplier within a certain timeframe. The cashback is purely some of what CEC get from referral fees.

    Do not just look at PCWs. Many suppliers now offer family and friends referral codes that are not listed on PCWs. These credits are often much higher than a share of a PCW referral fee.

    Certainly agree with this. Currently both Bulb & Octopus are offereing £50 cashback by using a referral code. There are plenty to pick from on the Referrers Board here.

    We recently helped a relative switch her electricity to Octopus Energy and she already has enough in potential cashback (if they all go through OK) to more than cover her annual electric bill. :T

    We are also in the process of doing the same. :money:
