British Gas Referral

If you are considering switching your gas or electricity supplier, the British Gas referral link could make joining more rewarding. Eligible new customers can receive an Amazon voucher when they switch their household energy supply to British Gas through an existing customer’s personalised referral link.

Use the British Gas referral button above or link below to begin:

British Gas referral link:
https://refer.britishgas.co.uk/shahidak-55

The current British Gas referral offer provides:

• A £50 Amazon voucher when you switch both gas and electricity to British Gas
• A £25 Amazon voucher when you switch one fuel—either gas or electricity
• A matching reward for the existing British Gas customer who referred you

For a dual-fuel switch, British Gas describes this as sharing £100: the new customer receives £50 and the referrer receives £50.

There is no conventional British Gas referral code to enter manually. The offer is tracked through the personalised referral link, so you should open the link and register for the reward before completing your energy switch.

Claim Your British Gas Referral Reward

To register for the offer, open this link:

Claim up to a £50 Amazon voucher with the British Gas referral link

The referral page will ask for your name and email address. British Gas will then send an email containing the link you must use to obtain a quote and complete your switch.

Make sure you use the switch link contained in that email. Going directly to the standard British Gas website instead may mean that your new account is not correctly associated with the referral.

Is There a British Gas Referral Code?

People frequently search for a British Gas referral code, but the energy referral scheme does not normally use a short voucher or promotional code.

Instead, British Gas gives existing customers a unique referral URL. The URL tracks who made the recommendation and allows British Gas to connect the new customer’s switch with the referral offer.

For this offer, use:

https://refer.britishgas.co.uk/shahidak-55

You should:

1. Open the referral link.
2. Enter your name and email address.
3. Select the option to lock in the offer.
4. Check your email for the British Gas switching link.
5. Follow that email link to request an energy quote.
6. Choose an eligible British Gas tariff.
7. Complete your gas, electricity or dual-fuel switch.
8. Remain an eligible customer until the referral reward has been approved.

The personalised link effectively performs the same job as a British Gas referral code. It records the referral before you start your energy application.

How Much Is the British Gas Referral Reward?

The reward depends on the number of fuels you switch.

Switch gas and electricity

If you switch both your household gas and electricity to British Gas through the referral link, you can receive a £50 Amazon voucher.

The referrer can also receive £50, meaning the total reward shared between both people is £100.

British Gas calculates this as:

• £25 reward for switching electricity
• £25 reward for switching gas
• £50 total reward for the new dual-fuel customer

The referrer receives the same amounts, creating the £100 combined reward advertised by British Gas.

Switch only gas or electricity

If you switch only one eligible fuel, the new customer can receive a £25 Amazon voucher.

For example:

• Electricity-only switch: £25 Amazon voucher
• Gas-only switch: £25 Amazon voucher

The referrer can receive a matching £25 reward.

The official British Gas refer-a-friend page confirms that both customers receive £25 for electricity and £25 for gas.

How to Use the British Gas Referral Link

Step 1: Open the personalised link

Start here:

Open the British Gas referral link

Using the correct personalised URL is essential because there is no separate referral code to add later.

Step 2: Register for the offer

Enter your real name and an email address you can access. Check the details carefully because British Gas will send the next stage of the referral journey to that email address.

Select the option to lock in the offer.

Step 3: Check your email

Look for the referral email from British Gas. It may take a few minutes to arrive, so check your spam or junk folder if you cannot see it.

The email should contain a dedicated link for starting your British Gas energy quote.

Step 4: Get a personalised energy quote

Follow the link in the email and provide the information required to calculate your quote.

You may be asked for:

• Your postcode
• Your address
• Whether you want gas, electricity or both
• Your current energy usage
• Details from a recent bill
• Your preferred payment method
• Information about your meters

Using figures from a recent energy statement should produce a more meaningful quote than relying on a general estimate.

Step 5: Compare the tariff

Before accepting the quote, review:

• Electricity unit rate
• Gas unit rate
• Electricity standing charge
• Gas standing charge
• Estimated annual cost
• Tariff length
• Whether the rates are fixed or variable
• Any exit fees
• Payment requirements
• Smart-meter requirements
• Referral eligibility

The Amazon voucher is a useful joining benefit, but the tariff itself should still suit your household.

Step 6: Complete the switch

If you are happy with the quotation and terms, complete the application through the referral journey.

British Gas says a standard energy switch will usually take around three to five days. Customers also receive a 14-day cooling-off period in which they can cancel the new agreement.

Step 7: Submit an opening meter reading

Once the switch is underway, provide an opening meter reading if requested.

An accurate opening reading helps your previous supplier prepare the final bill and allows British Gas to begin your account using the correct figures.

Step 8: Wait for the reward

The voucher is not normally issued immediately after submitting the application. The switch must be completed and the referral conditions satisfied.

MoneySavingExpert’s current energy referral scheme comparison advises allowing up to three months from the switch for a British Gas referral reward.

Keep the original referral email and any confirmation messages until your Amazon voucher has arrived.

Important British Gas Referral Conditions

The full terms are available through the referral link. Important points to remember include:

You must use the referral journey

Opening the referral link is only the first stage. The live referral page explains that you must complete the switch through the link sent to your email address.

Starting a separate application through the standard British Gas website or a comparison service may prevent the referral from being tracked.

The offer is for an eligible new customer

The scheme is intended to introduce a new energy customer to British Gas. Existing customers changing tariff are not normally treated as new referrals.

If you have recently held a British Gas account, check the full terms to determine whether you qualify.

The reward depends on the fuel switched

A dual-fuel switch can earn the new customer £50, while a single-fuel switch can earn £25.

The phrase “share £100” refers to the combined value received by the new customer and referrer following a qualifying dual-fuel switch. It does not mean that the new customer receives the full £100.

The switch must complete successfully

Registering through the link or requesting a quote is not enough by itself. You must complete a qualifying switch and meet the conditions before the voucher is released.

The reward is an Amazon voucher

The energy referral reward is provided as an online Amazon voucher rather than cash or British Gas account credit.

The tariff must be right for you

A referral reward does not automatically make a tariff the cheapest option. Compare the estimated annual cost, unit rates, standing charges and exit fees with your existing energy plan.

Terms can change

Energy promotions are periodically updated. Check the reward displayed on the referral page when you register and save your confirmation email.

What Is British Gas?

British Gas is one of the largest and most established energy suppliers in the UK. Its history stretches back more than 200 years, although the modern British Gas energy business is part of Centrica.

The company supplies gas and electricity to millions of households and businesses across Britain. Alongside household energy, it offers products and services including:

• Fixed and variable energy tariffs
• Smart meters
• Prepayment energy
• Electric vehicle tariffs
• Heat-pump tariffs
• Solar export tariffs
• Home battery tariffs
• Boiler installation
• Boiler servicing
• HomeCare cover
• Plumbing, drains and electrical cover
• Hive smart-home technology
• Electric vehicle charger installation

For customers who prefer to keep several household services with a familiar national provider, this broader range is one of British Gas’s main attractions.

The referral link discussed in this article is specifically for switching household energy supply. Boiler, HomeCare and other British Gas products may have separate offers and conditions.

British Gas Energy Tariffs

British Gas offers several types of household energy tariff. The options shown to you will depend on your postcode, meter, payment method and product availability.

Fixed energy tariffs

A fixed tariff locks in the unit rates and standing charges—or the pricing structure described in the tariff terms—for a set period.

Fixing can provide greater certainty because your tariff rates are protected from increases during the fixed term. However, your total bill is not fixed: it will still depend on how much gas and electricity you use.

A fixed tariff may be attractive if you prefer predictable rates and want protection from potential wholesale energy price increases.

Before joining, check:

• The length of the fixed period
• Unit rates
• Standing charges
• Exit fees
• Payment method
• What happens when the fixed term ends

Standard variable tariffs

Prices on a standard variable tariff can rise or fall. Domestic default tariffs are subject to Ofgem’s energy price cap, but the cap does not place a maximum limit on your total annual bill.

The price cap limits the rates suppliers can charge for each unit of energy and the daily standing charge. A household that uses more energy will still pay more.

Variable tariffs can offer flexibility because they commonly have no fixed-term commitment or exit fee, but customers have less certainty about future rates.

Dual-fuel tariffs

A dual-fuel tariff supplies both gas and electricity through the same provider.

Potential advantages include:

• One energy supplier
• One online account
• A simpler switching process
• Combined account management
• Eligibility for the full £50 British Gas referral reward

You should still compare the combined annual cost with the cost of obtaining gas and electricity separately.

Electricity-only and gas-only tariffs

You can switch only one fuel if British Gas offers a suitable tariff.

A single-fuel switch can qualify for a £25 Amazon voucher through the referral link, subject to the full terms.

This can be useful if your home uses only electricity or if one of your fuels is already covered by a separate agreement you do not want to change.

Prepayment tariffs

British Gas supplies customers with traditional and smart prepayment meters. Instead of receiving a bill after using energy, prepayment customers add credit in advance.

With a smart prepayment meter, customers can top up online or through the British Gas app, view their balance and receive low-credit alerts.

Referral eligibility can depend on the tariff and meter arrangement offered during the switch, so check the referral terms and quotation carefully.

Electric vehicle tariffs

British Gas offers tariffs designed for households with an electric vehicle and compatible home charger.

These tariffs can provide lower electricity rates during selected overnight hours. Drivers can schedule charging for the cheaper period rather than charging at peak times.

An EV tariff is most useful when:

• You charge regularly at home
• Your vehicle can be scheduled
• You have a compatible smart meter
• Your charger can operate during the off-peak window

Compare the cheaper overnight rate with the daytime rate and standing charge. A very low charging rate does not necessarily mean the tariff will be cheaper for all your household electricity.

Heat-pump tariffs

British Gas also offers tariffs aimed at homes using heat pumps or other forms of electric heating.

These plans may include discounted electricity during specified periods. The potential value depends on when your heating system consumes energy and whether the tariff fits your daily routine.

Smart export tariffs

Customers with solar panels or another eligible renewable generation system may be able to use a British Gas Smart Export Guarantee tariff.

A Smart Export Guarantee tariff pays for eligible surplus electricity exported to the grid. Export payments are separate from the price you pay for imported electricity.

Battery tariffs

Selected British Gas tariffs are designed for households with compatible home batteries. These may offer lower overnight rates so the battery can be charged when electricity is cheaper and used during the day.

The financial benefit will depend on the tariff rates, battery efficiency, household consumption and installation costs.

The British Gas App

The British Gas app allows customers to manage their energy account from a phone or tablet.

According to the official British Gas app page, customers can use it to:

• Track energy usage
• View bills
• Review payment history
• Pay an energy bill
• Set up or amend a Direct Debit
• Check an account balance
• Submit meter readings
• View previous meter readings
• Top up a smart prepayment meter
• Book a repair
• Arrange a boiler service
• Manage selected HomeCare services

Customers with compatible smart meters sending half-hourly readings can view daily, weekly, monthly and yearly energy use. Usage can be displayed in pounds or kilowatt-hours.

This can make it easier to identify patterns, such as higher electricity use during certain hours or increased gas consumption during colder weather.

British Gas Smart Meters

A smart meter records energy use and sends readings to the supplier automatically. This can reduce the need to submit manual readings and lower the likelihood of estimated bills.

British Gas provides eligible customers with a smart meter and in-home display without a separate installation charge.

The display can show:

• Current energy consumption
• Estimated spending in pounds and pence
• Electricity usage
• Gas usage
• Historical consumption patterns

British Gas explains that smart meters can also unlock tariffs that use different rates at different times of day. These include selected EV, battery and PeakSave tariffs.

A smart meter does not automatically reduce consumption. Its main benefit is providing more detailed information so you can make better decisions about when and how you use energy.

More information is available from the British Gas smart-meter guide.

British Gas PeakSave

PeakSave is a British Gas smart-energy programme that encourages customers to move electricity use to selected periods.

Depending on the current PeakSave tariff or event, customers may receive discounted electricity during particular hours. British Gas currently promotes PeakSave tariffs offering half-price electricity during specified periods.

Customers might move activities such as:

• Washing clothes
• Running a dishwasher
• Charging devices
• Using a tumble dryer
• Charging an electric vehicle

The precise saving depends on how much electricity is moved into the discounted period.

PeakSave requires an eligible electricity account and compatible smart meter. Check the latest conditions before assuming that a tariff or event will be available after switching.

British Gas HomeCare

British Gas is also widely known for its HomeCare products.

HomeCare can cover selected combinations of:

• Boilers
• Central heating
• Plumbing
• Drains
• Home electrics
• Annual boiler servicing

The exact cover, exclusions, excess and monthly price depend on the product selected.

British Gas says its main HomeCare options include unlimited repairs and call-outs for covered faults, with parts and labour included subject to the policy terms.

HomeCare is optional and separate from a standard gas or electricity tariff. Switching your energy to British Gas does not automatically provide boiler or home-emergency cover.

Likewise, the energy referral link in this article should not be confused with the separate British Gas boiler referral scheme.

You can review the available products on the British Gas HomeCare page.

What Information Do You Need to Switch?

It helps to have a recent energy statement available before requesting a quote.

Useful information includes:

• Your full address
• Your postcode
• Your current energy supplier
• Current tariff name
• Estimated annual gas consumption
• Estimated annual electricity consumption
• Current unit rates
• Current standing charges
• Tariff end date
• Exit fee
• Meter type
• Payment method
• Bank details if setting up a Direct Debit

Annual consumption is normally shown in kilowatt-hours on an energy statement.

If you do not have a bill, British Gas can estimate consumption using information about the property and the number of occupants. However, actual usage figures should produce a more reliable comparison.

Will Your Energy Be Interrupted During the Switch?

Changing supplier does not normally require new cables or gas pipes, and your energy supply should not be interrupted simply because you switch.

British Gas contacts the previous supplier and manages the transfer. The energy entering the property continues to use the same national networks.

The main tasks for the customer are:

• Completing the application accurately
• Providing an opening meter reading if requested
• Paying any final balance owed to the previous supplier
• Checking the first British Gas statement

British Gas says a normal switch usually takes between three and five days, although individual circumstances can cause delays.

Can Tenants Switch to British Gas?

If you rent your home and pay the energy supplier directly, you can usually choose your own supplier.

If your landlord pays the energy bill and charges you separately, the decision may remain with the landlord.

Check your tenancy agreement if you are uncertain. Tenants considering a smart-meter installation may also want to notify the landlord or letting agent, even when they pay the energy bill themselves.

Can You Switch With a Smart Meter?

Having a smart meter does not prevent you from changing energy supplier.

A compatible modern smart meter should continue sending readings after the switch. In some cases, it may temporarily operate like a traditional meter, meaning you may need to submit readings manually until the connection is updated.

British Gas will explain the available options when producing the quote.

Why Consider British Gas?

Established UK supplier

British Gas is one of the most recognised energy brands in Britain and has been supplying energy in different forms for more than two centuries.

Choice of tariffs

The company offers fixed, variable, prepayment and specialist smart-energy tariffs.

Gas and electricity in one account

Dual-fuel customers can manage both supplies through one provider.

Account-management app

The British Gas app provides access to bills, payments, meter readings and usage information.

Smart-meter support

Eligible customers can request a smart-meter installation without an additional installation charge.

Wider home services

Customers can also access boiler servicing, repairs, HomeCare products and Hive technology.

Up to a £50 Amazon voucher

A new customer switching both gas and electricity through the referral link can receive a £50 Amazon voucher after satisfying the offer conditions.

What Should You Check Before Switching?

Compare the annual cost

The most important figure is the estimated annual cost based on your household’s actual consumption.

A £50 voucher is worthwhile, but it should not distract from a tariff that could cost significantly more over the year.

Examine both unit rates and standing charges

The unit rate is the amount charged for each kilowatt-hour of energy. The standing charge is a daily cost payable regardless of how much energy you use.

Low-usage households may be particularly affected by standing charges.

Look for exit fees

A fixed tariff may apply a fee if you leave before its scheduled end date. Check the charge for each fuel.

Check smart-meter requirements

Certain specialist tariffs require a working compatible smart meter that can provide regular readings.

Review the payment method

Some tariffs require payment by Direct Debit. Check when payments will be collected and how the monthly amount is calculated.

Use accurate consumption figures

Do not compare tariffs using only the monthly Direct Debit. Compare annual consumption, unit rates, standing charges and estimated annual cost.

Confirm the referral has registered

Save the email generated by the referral page and complete the switch through its dedicated link.

Is the British Gas Referral Offer Worth It?

The offer can be worthwhile if British Gas already provides a suitable tariff for your household.

A new dual-fuel customer can receive a £50 Amazon voucher, while a single-fuel customer can receive £25. This is an additional benefit on top of the chosen tariff rather than a discount on the unit rates.

The offer is particularly attractive when:

• British Gas offers a competitive annual estimate
• You want to place gas and electricity with one supplier
• You prefer a large established provider
• You want access to smart-energy tariffs
• You value app-based account management
• You regularly shop with Amazon
• You are eligible as a new customer

The tariff should remain the primary consideration. Compare it with your current plan and other available suppliers before committing.
