Households across the UK have a chance to grab a series of freebies and substantial discounts next week, courtesy of their energy provider. Octopus Energy has announced the launch of its 'Pink Friday' promotion, an eight-day event packed with daily offers for its loyal customers.
What are the Pink Friday deals?
The savings spree kicks off on Monday, November 24, and runs until Tuesday, December 2. Each day features a different perk, ranging from food and entertainment to gifts. The promotion is exclusively available to members of the Octopus Energy loyalty scheme, Octoplus.
The daily lineup of offers is as follows:
- Monday 24 November: A free Greggs sausage roll or a savoury item of your choice.
- Tuesday 25 November: Free Constantine chocolates.
- Wednesday 26 November: Up to two free Odeon cinema tickets per customer.
- Thursday 27 November: A free Octopus plush toy.
- Friday 28 November: £8 off an UberEats order for a Friday night takeaway.
- Monday 1 December: £8 dishes at AskItalian.
- Tuesday 2 December: Send an Appleyard London bouquet for just £8, a saving of 68 per cent off the recommended retail price.
All of these enticing deals are, of course, subject to availability.
How to access the offers and other Octoplus perks
The team at Money Saving Expert (MSE) brought attention to the promotion, highlighting it on social media platform X. On its website, MSE noted that while such loyalty schemes are not a primary reason to switch providers, they are certainly worth exploring for existing customers.
Joining the Octoplus scheme is free for any electricity-only or dual-fuel Octopus Energy customer who has a smart meter installed. Membership not only grants access to these limited-time Pink Friday deals but also to a suite of ongoing rewards.
Standard Octoplus benefits include:
- A free hot drink from Greggs or Caffè Nero.
- Two Vue cinema tickets for £8.
- 25 per cent off main meals at popular restaurant chains like Harvester and Toby Carvery.
- National Trust family day passes for £8.
- Discounted zoo tickets at locations including Marwell Zoo and Whipsnade Zoo.
Furthermore, members can earn 'Octopoints' by participating in energy-saving initiatives like Saving Sessions, submitting meter readings, or referring friends. These points can be converted into account credit, with 800 points equating to £1.
This promotional drive offers a welcome financial respite for customers, combining everyday essentials with little luxuries during the run-up to the festive season.
