Smart meters help energy network operators balance the grid by providing more information about national energy consumption. This directly contributes to tackling the climate emergency. It means energy suppliers can be more efficient about how much energy they produce, as they understand more about when people need it.
Here’s mine if anyone wants it.

I'll have it, cheers
Must have a smart meter ‘ counts me out
That's a shame. Just a few clicks and you could have one. They are quite amazing.
Very annoying people with normal meters don't receive these offers. Were still Octopus customers!You shouldn't have to get a smart meter for these offers.- heat, purely for the fact I had no idea the nero deal was weekly! Wouldn't have found out if it wasn't for the thread
Sweet is a one off, hot drink and sausage roll are weekly. 
Another dirty trick to get you to have a smart meter, meters that can be remotely shut off as they see fit, refuse their offer peeps, anytime time you're offered ANYTHING it's for their benefit not yours.
There are regulations on when remote disconnection can be used and it's only for very specific circumstances.
Need a smart meter mmm that's discriminate. I pay more than smart meter & no freebies for me...It's OK I'm quite happy not to have a fire risk and BB in my house thank you very much!!Careful where you leave your tin hat.
I've not been 8 in a while. Can I still be eligible?
I came here to ask how many Octoplus customers are 8... You beat me to the joke
Direct Debit payment required for Octoplus. I prefer to just pay my bill off monthly. But a good spot for those that meet the criteria
Even with a direct debit set up, if you make a card payment over a week before the d/d date they will adjust the d/d amount accordingly. Can be useful with a cashback card such as Chase.
Smart meter....no thanks 🙏
What's wrong with having a smart Meter- Why not just lower bills :/ rather than using customers money to give them sweets, sausages rolls, and brews ?
Because they want to force you to have a smart meter. 
Would rather have my bills come down on price than all these crappy gimmicks
Not costing them much (if anything), from Twitter:
Craig "...how much is being spent by octopus on these partnerships / discounts?..."
Greg: "Hi Craig - with our negotiating power, these let us give customers more value at very very little cost to us!"
twitter.com/g__…904
What if you are a Shell Energy customer who are now owned by Octopus Do you get the treat ?
Yes, I was a Shell customer and I have it
Highly recommend cinnamon muffin.- I regularly have to request a credit refund because they overcharge but, yeah, free sugary garbage....
AuthorSet up your D/D to only take £1, then each month when you go on to check rewards for example, you can pay the bill off via card payment, don't know if this will help you at all
. 
None near where I live, perhaps its as well, I do not need anymore cakes !!AuthorYou could always give it away to a friend or family member, might as well not go to waste!
Lovely...I get a free coffee or sausage roll most week from Octopus!
how ?- Niceee!
Something to go with the free Nero.Some might want to get their hot drink in Greggs?

Is there any energy company who are capable of billing fairly and correctly.?
Octopus keep asking me for readings which I supply, which they then ignore and keep on billing based on estimated figuresSuggest submitting a reading on the website/app rather than phone/email and this will automatically trigger an energy bill based on actual usage. (edited)- Taking advantage of lots of free pastries over the months means greatly increased risk of tooth decay and extortionate dental bills. So go ahead fill your boots - and your teeth with fillings.
Everything in moderation 
What are their nicest sweet treats?AuthorPersonal preference, i personally love the caramel donuts
Was next to Greggs just before lunch, saw the offer was on, popped into the store nextdoor, when I came out to go into Gregss the App said "All gone" on the offer Snooze you loose.AuthorAh no, so close, next time you can activate the offer and screenshot it to use later, the qr code will expire when the giveaway ends,it will also be kept in app as a qr code for that specific offer period .- I just love Octopus deal comments to feast on the salty tears of those who don't have smart meters because they think it will microwave their brain/let the Chinese see when they're having a cup of tea/help the World Economic Forum paint cycle lanes on motorways.
But apparently as well as those awesome benefits of having a dumb meter they also want a free pastry? No dice luddites!
Just as well they can't get it, Gregg's have been putting 5G nanotech vaccines in their yumyums for years. 
Eww
I’ll happily take your spare code, if you’re not interested in this offer
SWEAT Treat?!?!?!?!
AuthorSorry 1am me , I see it's been fixed
Have these been wiped under someone's armpits?!
Usually extra 20p
Octopus are moving to gimmicks, when they should be focusing on their prices. I'm moving to EON Next drive because they are cheaper for longer than the Octopus EV tariffsAuthorFor my own lifestyle currently, there agile pricing works out a gem, but i get other households/people would have different usage needs.
Good healthy breakfast
why do people like greggs? it's bizarre
What confuses you?
Wow, how many octopus customers are actually 8 years old?! 😜
Reading this thread...quite a few.
Over £300 a month on bills you get a 50p sweet treat
Marvelous !AuthorOuch, do you have a large household? We are on electric only and average £60-£70 a month but a small household and most of the electric usage is shifted to when it's cheapest on agile.
They can take it out of the £300 I pay them every monthwow I pay £70
Wait whatttt a free coffee every week and a sweet treat?! Octopus are the 🐐
Its a one off I think.
Been loving my free Nero, coconut milk latte large ooft
All customers get two free spins per month when they uoload their meter readings, anyone here won anything yet?Won 800 points yesterday- That's my unhealthy breakfast sorted for tomorrow
Thanks - Now that a few people have mentioned sweat in the cakes I m not so sure about this free treat nowAuthorSorry about that, it was 1am posting and I've not had the chance to come online to check everything out :/
Shoving rubbish down your throat while making billions from massive price hikes. Thanks Octopus
