How does One Big Switch Work?

All you need to join One Big Switch is an email address and a postcode. There’s no cost or obligation to take up any offers.

How does One Big Switch choose its offers?
The One Big Switch experts choose offers that they believe will give members the best bang for their buck. That means that they look for high value offers, with a significant group discount, from well-regarded energy retailers. We’ve seen from experience that this process can generate significant savings on our members’ energy bills while saving our members precious time.
Are One Big Switch offers available to anyone who joins the Club?
We aim to unlock offers that are available to as many of our members as possible. Unfortunately, due to the geographic breadth of our membership base, we can't always unlock an offer that is available to everyone. But membership is free, so if one of our offers is not available to you, stick around for the next one.
Is it really possible for the people power of One Big Switch to unlock group-discounted household bills?
Absolutely. Over 250,000 people have already taken One Big Switch group-discounted offers all around the world.
Do I have to switch to One Big Switch offers if I join?
Joining One Big Switch is obligation and cost free. You just decide if any offer is right for you. One Big Switch members are free to use our offers as leverage to shop around, or to see if they can get a better deal from their same existing provider.
Are One Big Switch offers the cheapest offers around?
You have to decide if the offer is the best one for you. Everyone’s household is different and no offer is ideal for everybody. But what you can be sure of is that One Big Switch offers always include an exclusive group discount that is only available to One Big Switch members.
Are One Big Switch offers the right products for me?
Not necessarily. You should always consider the appropriateness of our offers for your personal situation, and if needed, shop around. People who join One Big Switch can switch to our negotiated offer, use the offer to shop around, or even negotiate with their current provider.
How is One Big Switch different from price comparison websites?
One Big Switch creates products and prices - we don’t compare them. We use the power of our members to unlock new discounted offers. We only forward offers to our members that are not available to individuals.
Will One Big Switch swamp me with emails?
Nope. We know our members are busy; we won’t waste your time with daily emails. When we can help you cut the cost of your household bills we will be in touch. When we can’t, we won’t. Also, it’s easy to unsubscribe for a category of emails or from all emails.
So how does One Big Switch pay its bills?
We make money when you save money. One Big Switch is a for-profit-with-purpose enterprise that earns a fee from the businesses that earn customers through our club. Those commissions help to fund our future campaigns. Providers pay these fees, not our members.
What should I do after joining or switching?
Tell your family and friends about your savvy move. The more people who join the club, the greater the discounts could be.
