Earn 10,000 Qantas points for electricity and 5,000 points for gas when you join Red Energy. You’ll also earn an ongoing 2x Qantas points per dollar when you pay your bills on time.
Plus, if you sign up with our referral link you will have the choice of either 1,500 extra Qantas points or a $25 gift card (Everyday WISH, Coles etc).
The bonus points will be credited within 21 days of when you first pay your electricity and gas bills in full, although in our case they arrived within just two days. The gas points are credited separately to the electricity points even if you sign up for both services at the same time.
Red Energy have previously run promotions where you can earn up to 30,000 Qantas points instead of the usual 15,000. However, the last time they did this was all the way back in Feb 2025 and it only applied to Victorian residents so it’s not a frequent offer.
It’s always a good idea to compare prices before switching energy providers but in some cases it can still be worth paying a little bit more just for the bonus points before you change back to a cheaper option.
What are 16,500 Qantas points worth?
It depends how you redeem them:

Do you know what is considered a new customer? Someone who was with red energy before on the same address but cancelled more than 12 months ago. is that considered a new customer?
I believe it is once per customer per address.
Had the same question, if you read the T&C on the offer page, it says 12 months if switched from Red. You should be fine.
Beware the referral program has a different exclusion period of 2 years: “A returning customer must not have held an active electricity and/or gas account with Red Energy at any time during the 24 month period prior to being referred.”
Anyone have a referral code I can use to sign up?
This link will give you a random Red Energy referral code from the OzBargain pool.
Is there anyto do if i’m an existing customer already?
Does anyone know if this is based on address AND customer? Or just customer? At home we have Red Energy but under my wife’s name. Idk if I change it to the same address but now under mine, the bonus will apply?
Is this offer still active?
It is, yes.
