Yes, I got that in addition to my joining incentive for switching to Octopus.

Whereas I got this from Octopus :-
Hi,
Thanks for getting in touch and apologies that it's taken me so long to come back to you.
We were having some technical difficulties with the EV offer inbox.
Congratulations on the new car! We do have an offer for existing customers but unfortunately the offer is only available if you haven’t already availed of a joining incentive.
I can see on your account that you were credited as part of our referral scheme so in this instance, I’m afraid I can’t apply an additional incentive.
Apologies that I can’t be of more help.
Kind Regards,
Daniel
Energy Specialist
So I suspect Octopus have either changed their incentive approach recently, or I just got a "bad" Octorep.

I joined Octopus via a friend's £50 credit referral code, then learned of the VW offer.

I emailed Octopus and asked them about it, they topped up the credit by an additional £40 so I still received the total of £90 - very good of them.

I've had several referral codes applied to my account, maybe they're just fed up of sending me free money ;-)

I also got the £50 referral and was refused the VW offer. So I emailed back to them and they also gave me £40.

Thanks for the tip billybob. I emailed Octopus explaining that I bought the car in April and hadn't received at VW offer. They asked for the order number and then credited my account the full £90. 👍

Currently I don't have vehicle, charge point or smart meter, but have changed to Octopus. Car should appear within a month or so. Not sure about charge point (initial "Home Survey" and grant application done online, but so far have only had acknowledgement of receipt - no details of lead time etc). Smart meter fitting due October 11.

Not sure whether this is getting chickens and eggs properly sequenced (whatever the sequences might be), ducks in a row or some other fowl arrangement!

I’ve been with Octopus a while but in the process of switching to Go. I tried for the VW offer but was told I wasn’t eligible because I had joined them via a comparison website. Something about only being allowed one referral marketing benefit. I wasn’t impressed.

Anyway I’ve emailed to appeal and we’ll see what happens.

Seems reasonable when multiple providers are going down the pan.
