Uswitch 25 hours free electricity

Still showing as "calculating" for me and I'm not optimistic of seeing the result before my next chosen session starts on Saturday.

I will leave it until tomorrow evening before calling it time to opt out.

Still showing as calculating for me as well. I'm on Octopus IOG.

Opted in for Sunday, but wont take advantage until I see some figures come through.

I can't see anything on my app where is it supposed to show?
It didn't help Sunday was my best solar day since September so I assume nothing saved in the first couple of hours as it would have used my solar first. My solar dropped to nothing by around 4pm so I tried a final hour burst of use, which seems to show on my usage but nothing I can see earned yet.  I'm not sure this is going to be worth is for me though forecast looking bad for Sunday pm so might try one more go.

You need to go to the "Earn" section, results will be posted on the same page you choose your hours.

This weekend I've gone for Sunday morning for a change. It looks like wholesale pricing will be a touch lower. I'm disappointed my results for last Saturday are still calculating almost a week later.

I participated in the first session and, like everyone else, it’s still showing as “calculating” today. Going to take the same approach that others have suggested and opt in but use no more energy than normal. I dare say that’s Uswitch’s objective in all this to obtain the data but minimise pay outs…

Has anyone in this thread got past the "calculating" stage and been told their earnings yet?

Finally got my earnings!! 89p....

Mines there too 25p short by my calculations. I estimated £5.44 they estimate £5.19. Possibly VAT?

Same here. 16.403kWh at 25.21p/kWh giving an amount earned of £4.14.

I was expecting the EON.Next Flex rate for my area of 26.475p/kWh which is 1.05 times the unit rate shown, so it seems someone failed to account for the VAT.

I'm actually on EoN.Next Drive v9 so this gives an effective rate of 3.2p/kWh.  Not quite free but better than the overnight rate of 6.7p/kWh.

Mine has now calculated. 

As I feared and as confirmed by their chatbot they have used the single rate unit cost for my tariff and not the Economy 7 peak rate. 

Consequently I have lost around 50p from the supposedly free 5 hours of electricity!!

I'm out.
