Yep. I had about £800 of credit with octopus. Since going onto a well paying export tarrif I refunded my credit and switched to just paying the bill amount each month.

Its a shame the points are worth twice as much shop isn't good. Should be selling booze and fags

I have £66 of points to redeem (I would have liked more but limited on inverter speed) so will just redeem mine and use as bill credit, think my last remaining balance will get eaten up this month and then I'll actually have to start paying them again unless the solar exports really kick in.

I've only been paying £50 a month, and the next bill will use up all the remaining credit, so a good time for me to cash out to credit. I did withdraw £500 last year, but staying on Flux has been relatively expensive over the winter months.

I got it too.

Here's how you did:
Over 13 Sessions, you saved 33.24kWh of power when fossil fuels were burning hardest.
That put you in the top 1% of all customers.
You and your fellow solar-powered customers made even more of an impact. You personally saved around 19x as much as the average customer without home solar – proving it pays to have rays.
You stopped 9779g of CO2 from entering the atmosphere.
And earned 53520 Octopoints or around £66.90 – the equivalent of 31.5 days' free electricity for an average UK home.
You kept up a streak for 13 Sessions, earning you some bonus points too!
Right now, you’ve got around 41029Octopoints, including Saving Sessions rewards and other Octoplus bonuses like wheel spin prizes.”

Somehow made it into the top 2%, no solar or battery.
in the octopus news...

Great news on the saving sessions.
Indeed, happy to see that.
Wonder if they are going to expand the timing so its all year as opposed to just 6 months.

Now that would be good.
This was mentioned in the e-mail I got from Octopus about my energy price changes yesterday:
"Happily, National Grid has just announced that the programme behind our Octoplus Saving Sessions will now run year round, instead of only Winter — with over £10m+ paid out to more than 1.6m customers, Saving Sessions are a simple way to save a few pounds off your bill."

That is really good news, but I wonder how often it will be.
I've only had my gas price changes, no electric changes yet. Sometimes they do them together sometimes separately.
