    Surprising no-one, I've opted in for today - I haven't received an email yet but the link from Bluesky on the previous page of this thread worked!

    Also I can see my results from last week's sessions. 200 points for the 16th, 216 points for the 18th. Roughly 2kWh extra exported on each day.

    If I can manage the same today, I might earn £1 or so.

    I never receive invites to these savings sessions anymore - I am guessing I was opted out automatically when I signed up for an export tariff as they assumed I would not be using any energy at those times anyway.

    I got 16 points + 32 points from last week's as well. At least tonight's should beat that anyway!

    No, have you looked at Octoplus on your app? I have been on export for3+ yrs I get them. It could be your email having problems ? Call Octopus if you can't sort it. Some one had similar problems but I can't remember who?when at the moment.

    I don't think it matters - it war more just curiosity as to whether they removed me on purpose, but it probably makes sense anyway as I will most likely be exporting at that time and definitely not importing so there is nothing to save (unless you get a bonus for exporting more than normal?)

    Yes you get a bonus for exporting more than normal.
