Everything you need to know about claiming your £50 free energy bill credit via the Octopus Energy referral scheme — from clicking the link to receiving your credit.
The Octopus Energy referral process is designed to be completely hassle-free. Here's exactly what happens at each stage.
Visit share.octopus.energy/melon-crane-917. The referral is automatically attached — no code to copy or paste.
Enter your postcode and current usage details. Octopus will show you a personalised quote for your home in under 2 minutes.
Pick the tariff that suits you — Flexible, Tracker, Agile, or a smart tariff. All include 100% renewable electricity.
Octopus notifies your old supplier and manages the entire switch. You don't need to contact your current supplier at all.
Within 30 days of your switch completing, £50 is added to your Octopus account. You'll be notified by app or email.
Check whether you qualify for the £50 Octopus Energy referral offer before switching.
New Octopus Energy customers only — you must not have previously been on supply with Octopus Energy at your current address.
UK residential address — the referral offer is available for domestic energy supply at UK home addresses.
Sign up via the referral link — you must use the referral link share.octopus.energy/melon-crane-917 or quote the code when signing up by phone.
Electricity supply required — the referral applies when you sign up for at least an electricity supply. Gas-only accounts do not qualify.
Not for existing Octopus customers — if you are already on supply with Octopus Energy, you are not eligible for the new customer £50 credit via this referral.
Not for business accounts — the £50 referral credit applies to domestic (residential) energy accounts only, not commercial or business supply.
