Octopus Energy, renowned for its commitment to customer satisfaction and sustainability, offers a variety of freebies and rewards to enhance the value of its services. Through initiatives like the Octoplus rewards program and targeted support measures, customers can enjoy tangible benefits that promote both savings and environmental responsibility.
Octoplus Rewards Program
The Octoplus program is designed to reward customers for their engagement and eco-friendly choices. Members can access a range of perks across different categories:
- Food & Drink: Enjoy weekly complimentary hot or cold drinks from partners like Caffè Nero or Greggs. Additionally, benefit from a 25% discount on main meals for up to eight people at popular UK chains such as Harvester, Stonehouse, Toby Carvery, Ember Inns, or Sizzling Pubs. Octopus Energy
- Events & Entertainment: Take advantage of offers like two standard cinema tickets for £10 at ODEON cinemas between Monday and Thursday. Seasonal promotions have included free child tickets and discounted entries to festivals and National Trust properties. Octopus Energy
- Merchandise and Activities: Participate in ‘Free Electricity’ sessions during periods of surplus green energy, allowing for cost-free electricity usage. Engage with interactive features like ‘Spin the Wheel’ for chances to win bill credits and Octopoints, which can be redeemed for exclusive merchandise or cash equivalents. Octopus Energy
Free Electric Blankets Initiative
Recognizing the challenges of heating costs, especially for vulnerable customers, Octopus Energy has distributed free electric blankets. This initiative aims to provide a cost-effective way to stay warm, as electric blankets can operate at approximately 2-4p per hour, significantly less than heating an entire home. Recipients have reported savings of up to 10-20% on their energy bills during winter months.
Special Promotions
Octopus Energy occasionally launches themed promotions to offer additional value:
- Pink Friday: In a twist on Black Friday, Octopus Energy introduced ‘Pink Friday,’ a week-long event featuring exclusive deals such as free movie streaming codes, complimentary popcorn from Co-op, and discounts on energy-efficient products. These offers are accessible through the Octoplus platform, emphasizing savings during the holiday season. Octopus Energy
- Caffè Nero Partnership: To celebrate Caffè Nero’s switch to 100% green electricity supplied by Octopus Energy, customers were treated to free croissants over a designated weekend, enhancing the existing offer of free weekly coffees. Octopus Energy
