Switching Energy Supplier Multiple times.

beefturnmail

Does anyone know how soon after an energy switch, you can switch again? I switched to Octopus on 17th April (to get a referral fee), now want to switch again (to get another referral fee). I've seen in a couple of places that you need to wait 28 days, but can't see this written into the t & c anywhere? My supplier seems to have already been updated to Octopus on the database (used the search facility on UK Power Networks to check).

Thanks

It was an industry system limitation. Any supplier that attempted to initiate a transfer of supply within 28 days of the last transfer of supply would find that was blocked from doing so. It is not in supplier terms and conditions as the constraint was not being applied by the supplier.

I have no idea if faster switching has changed anything in this regard.

Thanks, do you know if the 28 days was based on the date the supply actually transferred or some earlier date - if I put in a transfer now (15 days after I last switched) with a switchover date 29 days after I last switched would that be ok?
