Octopus referral code for good cause

Redlander

I'm going to switch to Octopus in the near future. There is a scheme whereby if someone refers a new customer using a unique code, the referrer and the referree both get £50. I'm wondering whether there is an charity or good cause that has a referrer code so I can benefit them when I switch.

Just to be clear it's absolutely prohibited to exchange personal referral codes on the MSE Forum, whether publicly or by direct message.

I don't think charities have this option anyway, they are classed as business users

Or claim the £50 yourself, then Gift Aid it to the charity of your choice. The charity will get £62.50.

Would still need to find someone with a referral code and who you trust to make the donation on their side.

Agreed, but Octopus are the biggest domestic energy supplier in the UK. Most people should know someone who's a customer of theirs!

Not necessarily, I got it without the code. An email said I'd been referred by Greg.
