Not labeled as such, but I got 100 bonus points on the 6th.paulypops said:Has anyone received any streak Bonuses for the last few sessions?
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.1 -
Not yet. Well, maybe one, but there should be at least two more to come.paulypops said:Has anyone received any streak Bonuses for the last few sessions?1 -
Received my 100 = only one I expect - if this is your second or more session in a row you get 100 bonus octopoints for just opting in and 8 more chances to win - wouldn't mind if I was wrong and they did pay 100 each time but I doubt it.0

I managed to make about £25 - mainly from luck in that I charged my EV during peak the evening peak just before the run of sessions in mid December, so I had a high baseline. (Actually, I didn't charge my EV, Octopus did. I was on Intellegent Go, and this was when they were being very generous with the daytime slots). No prizes for me, but I think I am still owed a couple of hundred points in Streak Bonuses.
I've also made £1 on Spin the Wheel this month, and had a few free coffees and sausage rolls. And despite owning an EV and not getting the government credits, my energy costs this winter have been lower than last. So all in all not a bad result.1 -

Why leave? A few pennies is better in your bank account than theirs.Chrysalis said:Think I have made about 3p from this, and given I dont like the new wheel of fortune, I will probably leave octoplus soon, isnt for me, but respect it can be nice for others.Octo-aid tells me we only gained 211 points on Friday which is poor (usually 1000+) so I’m not sure what went wrong there - perhaps I’ve been cooking later more recently - I must make more effort to cook between 5 and 6.30.
Because the standard wheel of fortune was more profitable, it has a higher win rate for the £1 vs the 800 points on the new wheel.
However I did win 800 points finally this month, so its got a reprieve.Most saving sessions give me about 20-100 points. The bulk of the points came from when they give bonuses for taking part in successive sessions, and from my single 800 points wheel of fortune win.0 -
Obviously that's your opinion and not fact just based on your previous good luck?Chrysalis said:Griffindog said:

I never won anything on the old style wheel, but with the new one with the points I get at least something each time. That makes it more profitable, not less...
But of course the above is anecdotal - based purely on my own experience, and so means nothing for the general population unless far more data was added. when enough anecdotal data is all added together it can be useful. Single instances are as much use as the proverbial chocolate fireguard.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
