How the So Energy referral program works

So Energy sets its reward per campaign and shows it only inside the customer's own account, so the terms carry no figure. What they do carry is a 12-month lookback covering any email or alias, a 90-day supply requirement, and one reward per property on the friend's side.

01The terms

So Energy runs a program but does not publish the amount

That is a finding, not a gap. The mechanic below is published; the value is not, and any specific figure circulating for this brand comes from third-party sites rather than the company.

Referrer gets
A reward that varies by campaign, shown on the referrer's own refer-a-friend page rather than published in these terms
Referred friend gets
A reward on the same basis, limited to one per property
Qualification
The friend must not be an existing customer, nor have been one in the preceding 12 months under any email address or alias, must be a UK resident over 18, must switch through the referrer's personal link, and must be on supply for a qualifying tariff for at least 90 days. Referrals claimed retrospectively are never eligible.
Expiry
If the friend's sign-up is cancelled, both the referrer's and the friend's rewards are cancelled with it.
02The mechanic

What makes this program different

Rewarding the property, not the person. The friend gets one reward per property, which matters in a market where the customer moves house and the meter does not. Combined with a 12-month lookback across aliases, it stops the same address being re-referred under a new name.

03The design

Why it works

A per-property limit is the right unit for a utility, where the account follows the meter rather than the individual.

Naming aliases explicitly in the lookback closes the second-email-address route without needing to detect it.

Ninety days on supply outlasts the cooling-off and switching-reversal windows, so the reward follows a customer who stayed.

Refusing retrospective claims removes the argument from someone who switched and only later remembered a friend.

04The takeaway

What to copy

  • Pick the unit that matches your product. For a utility that is the property; for an app it is the person.
  • Write "or alias" into the lookback. It costs a phrase and closes a whole category of abuse.
  • Set the qualifying period past the point at which the sale can still unwind on its own.
What we could not verify
  • So Energy publishes no reward value in these terms, stating it varies by campaign and appears on the referrer's own account page, so any figure quoted elsewhere describes one campaign. No cap on the number of referrals is published here, and So Energy reserves the right to verify eligibility and require proof.
05Questions

So Energy referrals, answered

How much does So Energy pay for a referral?

The terms do not say. The reward varies by campaign and is shown on the referrer's own refer-a-friend page inside their account, so no standing figure exists.

Can you refer someone who left So Energy last year?

No. The friend must not have been a customer in the preceding 12 months, under any email address or alias, which closes the route of re-signing an old customer under a new address.

When is a So Energy referral reward earned?

After the friend has been on supply for a qualifying tariff for at least 90 days. If their sign-up is cancelled, both rewards are cancelled too.
