Energy supplier refer-a-friend offers UK 2026
Switching supplier rarely puts money in your pocket on day one; a referral does. On TopReferrals the energy offer is EDF's Refer a Friend: move a home's gas or electricity to EDF through https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy and EDF adds £50 of credit to the new account, or £75 for anyone referred between 14 September and 6 October 2026. The credit arrives around four weeks after joining and comes off the energy bill directly. It is paid whichever EDF tariff you choose, so the referral never steers the tariff decision. Rival schemes, read on their own sites, pay £50 in credit (Octopus Energy), a £50 voucher (E.ON Next) or an Amazon.co.uk gift card worth up to £50 for dual fuel (British Gas).

Energy questions
Which energy supplier has the best refer a friend offer in 2026?
For referrals made by 6 October 2026, EDF: £75 of account credit to the new customer, against £50 from Octopus Energy and E.ON Next and up to £50 in Amazon.co.uk gift cards from British Gas. At EDF's standard rate it is £50. Switch through https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy.
Do I need a promo code to get energy switching credit?
Not with EDF. Its reward travels with the referral link (https://topreferrals.co.uk/go/edf-energy), so there is nothing to type at sign-up.
Can I still get a referral if I switch only one fuel?
With EDF, yes: a single-fuel gas or electricity switch earns the same credit. British Gas pays £25 each for a single fuel and up to £50 for dual fuel.
