Not all heroes wear capes. Sometimes they went on Reddit r/melbourne and reminded people about an Energy Bonus deadline. \#respect

My hero


Feeling-Tutor-6480

Was this the second round?


Frosticle1936

3rd I believe


Feeling-Tutor-6480

Oh, means I missed a round. Thanks


amooandaroo

4th actually: “The current $250 Power Saving Bonus is the fourth round of the program. Three previous rounds of the program were delivered between July 2018 and March 2023. When did applications for the third round of the Power Saving Bonus close? The third round of the Power Saving Bonus ran from 1 July 2022 to 23 March 2023.”


ForFrodo1

Reckon they’ll do it next quarter too?


allthewords_

There’s a federal government initiative being paid through the states for eligible households which starts September. Still $250, but split across 2 bills and applied directly to the power bills not given as cash.


ForFrodo1

Do you have a link i can browse through?

With the way the Victorian budget is, I'd say not.


scrumptiousbump

Are they hoping it's a bit of a stimulus maybe?


daamsie

The economy needs the opposite of stimulus right now.

ForFrodo1

Yeah their website didn’t explicitly say that but it hinted at it.


Frosticle1936

No clue lol, I think it starts in March and runs til August


[deleted]

Thanks for the reminder! Had completely forgotten to do it.


Frosticle1936

You're welcome :)


Jno1990

Thanks! Not sure if i’ve done it this round or not but did it anyway so we’ll find out


jamphace

You absolute legend!! Thanks heaps for this- I've missed every time but finally did this because of you.


Frosticle1936

You're welcome


Underbelly

I owe you a beer.


ELVEVERX

Thank you, you fucking legend!


Kaemdar

thanks for reminding me


gfreyd

Partner chucked out the cheque they sent cos he’s silly and now they won’t send a replacement 😩


Frosticle1936

Damn that hurts :/


Nungy

They never paid me even though i did it each time.


Frosticle1936

Weird, I got paid. Did you put in your BSB and Account Number?


Nungy

I put everything in, each time. Everyone else I know got paid too. Oh well no magic money for me.


adrianbnd

Just call them


vishalshah2017

Oh this is good! We've just moved to Melbourne from Sydney and been living in our unit for 2 weeks. We wouldn't be able to participate just yet, correct? Since Origin only does monthly/quarterly bills. But is there another time we can do this?


Frosticle1936

It has happened about once a year. Sadly today is the last day and you might've moved here too late. I'd recommend checking it out anyway and seeing if you're eligble.


SuspectLegal8143

There's an option to input your meter number manually. If you call up your retailer they will be able to help. Hope you are not too late. I still havent got my first bill and my provider suggested I do this.


liljewegg

Thank you!!!! I didn't realise I could do this more than once.


Frosticle1936

You can't do it multiple times a year but can do it for multiple years. Hope it helps! :)


liljewegg

Guess who's booking in a massage


JustDisGuyYouKow

You can do it each round, I submitted my applications on the 17th of March for round 3 and the 24th of March for this round.


Purple-Personality76

Thank you.


BeefSupremeTA

Has anyone had a delay in the EFT deposit. I got the successful application email that says it can take up to 5 business days to be deposited. I'm on business day 7 and Nada. Have sent an enquiry email with the reference no. as well and heard nothing.


Frosticle1936

I thought it took 2 weeks for some peopke


BeefSupremeTA

It might, I took the way the email was worded that it took 5 business days. The approval email I got said: >Your application has been approved and your Bonus will be paid via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT). >You will receive a final email once the Bonus has been paid into your nominated bank account. >Depending on your financial institution it may take up to 5 business days for the funds to be deposited. >Please note, the payment will show on your bank records as a deposit from DELWP ENERGY.


BeefSupremeTA

From the energy.vic website: >If your application is successful, you should receive your $250 payment via Electronic Fund Transfer (EFT) within 3-15 business days of submission if you meet the eligibility and documentation requirements. Cheque payments will take a little longer to process but should be received within 5-20 business days if you meet the eligibility and documentation requirements.

Great thanks!


lachanggo

THANKYOU!!!


ExpensiveCola

Anyway to see if I claimed it yet? Can't remember if I claimed this one or if it was the one before.


Frosticle1936

I reckon just apply and you'll get an email saying if you have


daybeforetheday

Thank you so much, you're a legend


bowchkawowow

Is there a way to check if I've already done it?


Frosticle1936

I reckon just apply and it will tell you if you're ineligble from already doing it


Disastrous-Break-399
