Octopus £50 referral bonus UK: eligibility, timing and offer checks

This page focuses on the referral bonus itself: what the current public offer usually says, who should check eligibility carefully, when the credit normally appears, and what to do if the offer text changes inside the official Octopus flow.

The referral route used here is commercial and independent of Octopus Energy. If an eligible switch completes through Tomas’s link, both sides may receive referral credit under Octopus’s current terms.

Common reasons the £50 does not appear

Business referral note: split £150 if eligible

Octopus’s official FAQ says: home referrals get £50 each; business or charity account referrals get £75 each. Octopus also presents the business referral route as “split £150”. That makes business supply worth checking rather than forcing it through a normal home-switch assumption.

If you are switching a business supply, open Tomas’s referral route, then follow the official Octopus business instructions shown in the journey. The correct route and current terms decide whether the £75 each business/charity credit applies.
