Power Move for Autumn 2024?

Hey @decroisic, @MCH59, @Nukecad & @Blastoise186,

I just asked and the team are just finishing testing the new signup system and the go live date for this is Monday! 

Thanks Chris for investigating - hopefully then, as I’m still eligible as far as i can see, I will get my invite next week :)  (fingers crossed for you too Nukecad :) ) 

As Tuesday is the start day for the winter challenge then does anyone else think that ‘still testing’ and ‘go live on Monday’ appears to be cutting things a bit fine?

I think they needed extra time to make sure everything was running well! I’m hopeful for a smooth launch on Monday 🎉

YES! Just signed up for Power Move on the app  and really pleased to see it is saying I’ll get weekly progress updates which is a welcome improvement in my opinion. 

It is an improvement over the 1-update at the half way point.

(Plus of course it makes sure that you visit the app at least once a week- great for ‘how many visit’ metrics, but that's posssibly just me being cynical).

@decroisic @Nukecad 

I’m happy to hear that you’re liking the increased progress updates! Hopefully this is a step to making it easier to keep an eye on your progress in the challenge. I appreciate your feedback and shared it with the PM team 😃

This is insane. They're advertising it as "helping customers to save" when in fact it's absolute BS and they are now making it super hard to save any money. I've been able to save £10 -£15 each month with the power move and now they want me to join some rubbish program to be able to save money. In order to join the program I have to pay £111 debit card EVERY MONTH when I actually spend £48 -£52 every month. Why tf should I join and pay £111 every month when I've never actually paid that much monthly ever. Like literally you want me to join some made up program that changes is me almost triple just to be able to save £10 per month?! Ovo has officially lost it. Time to switch to energy providers that actually do want to help you. Why advertise helping customers when you're doing the opposite and making it more difficult and making it more spenny. Onto better provider.

It costs nothing do download the app, it costs nothing to join the Power Move winter challenge.

Nobody charges your Debit Card, or anywhere else, for taking part in Power Move.
Sorry but I have no idea where you are getting that information from?

Are you meaning that you don’t currently pay by direct debit and don’t want to?
If so then who/what has told you that your DD payment would be £111 monthly?

I was subscribing to the Beyond program when one of the instructions said that to be able to join the free Beyond program I need to set up direct debit. I don't mind at all, so went to set up the direct debit via Ovo and it asked what day of the month I want to pay the bills on monthly basis, blah blah blah and then it said the direct debit will be set up for £111 going forward and reviewed after 3 (4?) months?! TF?! I've never paid that much money so absolutely not setting up direct debit option if they want to charge me that much money. You CANNOT join the free Beyond program if you don't have Dorect Debit set up. So basically they're being absolute *edited by mod*, just trying to making it extra difficult for everyone for no real reason. Totally had it with OVO. I've already had a look at other providers this morning. They look like they want to help but in reality they just want to make things more difficult and pay out less money. Classic greedy company
