Energy firms are offering an easy way to get a £75 discount off energy bills as a snow storm sweeps the UK. Several suppliers will give you £75 free cash with just a few computer clicks, it has emerged, because most energy suppliers will pay you money to recommend them to your friends or family.
British Gas explains: “Know someone who’d be interested in joining us as an energy customer? Or someone who needs an energy-efficient new boiler? Send them a simple link recommending us – and we’ll thank you both with an online gift voucher!”
“There’s no limit to the amount of people you can refer – or the rewards you can earn. Every boiler referral gets you and your friend a £100 voucher. And for energy, you’ll both get £35 for electricity and £35 for gas,” the firm explains.

British Gas customers can get up to £75 every time they refer a friend. It says: “Introduce a friend to British Gas and share £150 if they switch their gas and electricity to us.” It adds: “Had a new boiler installed by us? Recommend us to someone else who needs one – and we’ll gift you both a £100 voucher for Amazon or £100 payment on your Paypal account or a £50 voucher for Hive.”
Octopus Energy is slightly less generous than its rivals and will pay you £50 to refer a friend. Every time you refer a friend to EDF then you can get £50 off your energy bill. You can find your exclusive link on your MyAccount page.
You could bag £50 of credit every time you refer a friend or family member to E.ON Next, too. To get the cash your loved one cannot already be supplied by E.ON Next. They must use your unique link to sign up for an account and set up a direct debit.
