Is this the fastest payout for a referral by Octopus

MikeJXE

I have done a few referrals to Octopus so I know the system quite well

On Wednesday my friend ask for help switching to Octopus as he is not very tech savvy 

I gave him a link and he had a reply and will be signed up on Friday 

I was curious to know why I hadn’t had an email confirming this  as far as I know is normal practice  so I emailed Octopus on Thursday 

Octopus replied asking did he actually click the link and a few other questions

My reply to them was I can confirm everything as I was sitting beside him and using his iPad to sign him up.

Friday he was asked to submit meter readings despite being on a smart meter, He didn’t do them so I did them on Sunday 

The referral hasn’t showed up on my account but expecting a payout in about 4 weeks.

I got a reply from Octopus today stating 

I have now added the referral  bonus to your account and to the account you referred 

I have checked and sure enough £50 has been added 

Referred  on Wednesday 23rd October, paid out Monday 28th 

Is this a record ?

I didn't think they paid until the first DD had gone out?

Has been posted a few times switching in person only has to make a £1 card payment to trigger referral credit, best advice someone signs up they then make one off  £1 card payment which usually triggers referral credits added to both accounts following day.
