Quick answer
Octopus refer a friend is the customer referral scheme where a new home customer can get £50 bill credit and the existing customer also gets £50 credit. The safest way to use it is to start from the personalised link before entering your quote details.
Octo's safety check
Do the referral first, then the quote. Keep a note of code lotus-book-642, check that you are signing up directly with Octopus, and avoid switching through a third-party page if the referral credit matters.
How to use the code
Open the referral link
Start with share.octopus.energy/lotus-book-642 so the quote journey is connected to the referral.
Enter your real details
Use your postcode, current supplier, meter type and annual usage where possible.
Check the quote
Compare unit rates, standing charges, tariff type and smart meter requirements before switching.
Complete the direct switch
Octopus says referral credit is paid after the switch completes and the first monthly Direct Debit has been taken.
Important
Do not rely on the referral credit if you sign up through a third-party comparison site. Octopus says referral rewards require a direct online sign-up through a personalised link.
