About Referral Plug

Our mission: clear, trustworthy referral guides

Referral schemes can be a great way to save money - from energy bill credits with providers like Octopus Energy and E.ON Next, to cash bonuses and gift cards from banks, investing apps and digital services. But the details are often buried in terms and conditions, and it’s not always obvious whether an offer is right for you.

Our goal is to make referral offers simple, transparent and easy to compare. Each guide explains how the referral code works, what you get, and any key eligibility rules in plain English.

How we choose and review offers

We focus on well-known, reputable brands operating in the UK across energy, finance, fintech, mobile networks and online services. Before adding a referral to Referral Plug, we:

• Check that the referral scheme is currently active.
• Confirm the reward amount and how it’s paid (bill credit, cash bonus, points or gift card).
• Read the official terms to highlight important conditions like minimum spend, contract length or switching requirements.
• Add a short review and summary so you can quickly decide if the product or service is a good fit.

We regularly review and update our content so that referral rewards, bonuses and example calculations stay accurate. Read our full testing methodology for the exact process behind every published referral.

How Referral Plug makes money

Some links on Referral Plug are affiliate or referral links, and we may earn a commission when you sign up, never at extra cost to you. See our full affiliate disclosure.

Editorial standards

We want Referral Plug to feel like a helpful, independent guide, not just a list of links. That’s why we:

• Write short, honest reviews that cover both benefits and potential drawbacks.
• Clearly explain how and when rewards are paid.
• Avoid hypey or misleading language - we want you to feel informed, not pressured.
• Update or remove guides if referral schemes change or become less competitive.

Who Referral Plug is for

Referral Plug is designed for people in the UK who want to make the most of referral codes without spending hours researching each offer. You might be:

• Switching energy suppliers and comparing Octopus Energy or E.ON Next referral rewards.
• Opening a new bank account or fintech card with a sign-up bonus.
• Trying a new investing app, mobile network or digital service that offers a refer-a-friend scheme.

If that sounds like you, start by browsing our latest referral codes and guides.

Who writes Referral Plug

I specialise in finding people the best deals to cope with the ever-increasing cost of living. I like to review companies from everyday industries like banking and energy and try to provide a fresh mix of facts and unbiased opinions.

Every guide on Referral Plug is written from first-hand experience wherever possible. I use the products I review, from Monzo and Octopus Energy to Tide and giffgaff , so the advice reflects how these services actually work day-to-day, not just what the marketing says.
