Martin Lewis, the Money Saving Expert, has shared a simple tip for energy customers to potentially claim £50 for free. With the rising cost of living, millions of British households have the opportunity to receive extra cash this winter. In his BBC Sounds podcast, Lewis advised Shell Energy and Octopus Energy customers on how to take advantage of this offer. Recently, Octopus Energy acquired Shell Energy and Shell Broadband, which will result in over 1.4 million energy customers and 500,000 broadband users being transferred to the new supplier. However, before the move, customers can claim their free cash.
Refer a friend and earn £50 credit
According to Lewis, Octopus Energy customers can refer a friend and both parties will receive £50 credit to their accounts. This presents an opportunity for users to make some extra money with a simple change. To participate, Octopus customers need to log into their accounts and find the "refer a friend" code to share with their friends. Once the referral is successful, both the referrer and the friend will receive the £50 credit.
Check if you're owed thousands from your energy provider
In addition to the free £50 offer, Lewis has also warned millions of people that they may be owed thousands of pounds from their energy providers. He has provided simple checks to determine if customers are eligible to claim. Taking advantage of these checks could potentially result in significant savings.
Another trick to get £500 in your bank account
Furthermore, Lewis revealed another trick that could put £500 in your bank account. He shared an email from a Money Saving Expert fan who successfully applied a technique and received the £500. This demonstrates that there are various ways to potentially save money from energy companies.
With Martin Lewis' expert advice, energy customers have the chance to make the most of these opportunities and boost their finances. It's worth taking a few minutes to check if you're eligible for any of these benefits.
