AGL’s latest energy deal includes $400 in sign-up credit + free Netflix

A bundling discount and sign-up credit to sweeten the deal? Find out if AGL's latest offer is worth it.
New and moving customers in NSW, VIC, South-East Queensland and South Australia can score $200 in bill credit when switching their electricity plan to AGL.
Bundle your energy and internet plans and there's another $200 in credit on offer.
You can also save up to $15 a month on your internet plan for as long as both services stay active.
One of AGL's electricity plans also throws in a Netflix Standard with Ads subscription (worth $9.99 a month), with the option to upgrade to a higher tier by paying the difference.
Is the AGL bundling deal worth it?
It depends on how much you're currently paying for your internet and energy plans.
Compare your electricity usage rates and supply charge with AGL's plans - whether it's the Smarter Saver plan, the Netflix plan, or the Solar Savers plan - to see if you could pay less than you do now.
You can find all the details you need on your most recent energy bill to compare.
Separately, compare how much AGL's internet plans cost with the $15 a month bundling discount applied against what you're currently paying:
| Plan | AGL bundle offer |
|---|---|
| NBN 25 | $64 a month |
| NBN 50 | $84 a month |
| NBN 100 | $92 a month |
| NBN 500 | $92 a month |
| NBN 1000 | $114 a month |
Both the sign-up credit and bundling discounts are worth factoring in, but they shouldn't be the sole reason to switch providers.
You don't want to end up paying a lot more than you currently do, especially if you don't compare deals often.
These kinds of perks should be the cherry on top after you've found a plan that already stacks up well on price and value for your needs.

Why bother hunting for a good energy deal?
If you haven't compared energy plans in a while, you could be missing out on some big savings.
For instance, the Australian Energy Regulator's latest market report claims:
A typical customer moving from the median market electricity offer to the lowest offer in their distribution region could achieve savings ranging from $200 in Queensland to $420 in South Australia.
Finder's research shows that 24% of Aussies rank energy bills among their top three most stressful expenses.
So if you can spare 5-10 minutes to compare plans and see if you can snag a cheaper deal, it could help ease some of the bill stress.
