Referring a friend is simple. The referrer just needs to access their online account – or set one up if they haven’t already. Don’t forget, they need to be an existing British Gas customer to refer a friend. After we verify their details, we’ll give them a unique referral link which they can then send to as many friends as they like.

What do I need to do after I’ve been referred?

To be eligible for a the referral bonus, you’ll need to follow the unique link that your friend sent you – it’ll take you to this page. From here, switch your energy – and we’ll sort out the rest. You can find more details of our qualifying products in our terms and conditions (PDF, 42 KB).

It’s important that you join British Gas using the links above so that we know you’ve been referred – otherwise you won’t be eligible for the referral gift card.

Remember

  • If you’re switching your energy, you must not have had a British Gas energy contract within the past three months
  • If you make a qualifying purchase, but you cancel your agreement within 90 days of your supply or policy start date, you and your friend will no longer be eligible for the gift cards.

Can I be referred if I’m already with British Gas?

Yes, as long as you don’t already have the product that you’re being referred for.

I’ve completed a purchase on britishgas.co.uk using my friend’s unique referral link, but I haven't received my gift card. What should I do?

Once you’ve joined British Gas, we need a little time to do some checks – this can take up to three months. If you haven’t received your gift card after three months, check that you both meet the terms of the promotion.

The gift card is subject to the Friend’s Qualifying Product purchase – and the Friend’s contract or policy must still be active at least 90 days after the supply/policy start date. The gift cards will be sent via email up to three months after the Friend has joined British Gas.

    To qualify for the referral Reward for switching energy to British Gas, the Friend must not have held a British Gas energy contract within the last three months of joining. If after making a Qualifying Purchase , the Friend cancels their agreement with us up to 90 days after their supply/policy start date, then this will result in the cancellation of the reward for the Friend and Referrer.
