You might have heard of Spike, our energy-saving reward program. Launched in August 2020, Spike’s grown to a community of more than 80,000 Aussies who are committed to adopting energy-saving habits and reducing their impact on the grid – helping create a cleaner future.
Since the introduction of the program, we’ve awarded more than $3.1 million worth of points to our community, given away a Tesla Model 3 to one savvy energy saver through the Spike Championship, and hosted loads of energy-saving competitions giving away more than 30 prizes.
Keen to keep things fresh, fun and easy for Spike members, we’ve been working hard over the last few months to make some cool enhancements to the program, including changes to some game mechanics (we’ll be introducing special automated events for smart devices!) and the introduction of a swish new dashboard.
What can members look forward to?
The new look and features will make participation simpler and more satisfying, with the introduction of a Rewards Marketplace. Here’s a sneak peek of what you can expect:
More ways to be rewarded
Instead of points, you’ll earn Watts. Put simply every watt of power you save in a Spike event turns into currency you can redeem at the Rewards Marketplace for things like PayPal cash, gift cards, and discounted devices. Plus, when you successfully beat a SpikeHour, you’ll automatically receive an entry into our monthly Prize Draw, plus a spin on our Prize Wheel; where every time you spin, you win!
Simpler energy saving
New AutoSpike events allow connected smart plugs and devices to be automatically powered down to start saving energy, meaning you can earn Watts without needing to lift a finger!
A new user friendly dashboard
Your home screen will display a summary of your streak status (how many consecutive Spike events you’ve participated in), Watts balance, upcoming energy events and connected devices. Better yet, we’ve added tabs categorised by events, rewards, devices and referrals to help you get where you want to go, quicker.
When will it be ready?
The new look experience should be up and running in the next few weeks! Keep an eye out on our Instagram account for updates.
