    It seems that despite Octopus claiming :
    "We'll email you about upcoming Sessions. Keep an eye on your inbox to start saving."
    They don't, because I have missed 3 sessions last month.... 
    How am I supposed to know when these saving sessions are planned?
    And yes I am opted in 

    If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    Without wishing to sound like that IT guy but have you checked that they've not gone in your spam folder?  They don't give a lot of notice but I have had invites each time ...

    Deep seated hatred of Scottish Power and all who sail in her - would love to see Ofgem grow a pair and actually do something about it.

    I've had an increase in Octopoints, but haven't had an email telling me what I've earned in the last 2 sessions. I've got £3.15 worth in my account from the current SS and wheel spins.  Last year I finished with over £70.

    Ah yes thank you.  I got 2p for the session where I just registered but didn't bother doing anything, and £1.01 for the one where I was exporting.

    @MouldyOldDough Sign up for the DFS , you will know when NESO asks for reductions(usually 10am),then you will see approximately 90mins later the utilisation report, and see if octopus has been accepted. https://www.neso.energy/data-portal/demand-flexibility
