    Ooh, 1088 points (£1.38 according to the redeem calculator) for pausing the heating.  Happy with that :)
    Finally found the calculation, it was for 0.6kWh.  Makes sense if the baseline is against the last 60 days, as the heat pump won't have been working as hard when it was less cold during that period.

    Still no results for me, although I'm already a light user overall and was asleep as usual at that time of day. So not expecting anything.

    Oh, not just me waiting for results. 

    I wondered if it hadn't registered me opting in, or if I'd saved so little, that I got zero points.

    No, either of those should still show up according to their handy symbol guide on the page.

    56p earned here - which I’m actually quite pleased with as we really didn’t have a lot to save! That was a 78% reduction for us, apparently.

    Was thinking the same thing myself, still waiting to hear if I've got very little or nothing, keep checking but nothing there yet :)
