So, you'll pay me back if I don't save with Flick?
If you don't save money in your first 12 months on Flick's FIXIE price product, we'll pay you a flat $100 in power credit after your first year anniversary. Your savings will be available to you at any point in your Flick app and on your dashboard online.
Our 12 month Savings Guarantee is a great reason to try NZ's fairest power deal. So, what are you waiting for?
How do you calculate my FIXIE savings?
The savings shown on your power bill are estimated by comparing your FIXIE plan to your previous power company’s standard comparable published plan, for your network & metering set up, at the time you joined Flick's FIXIE price plan (taking account of things like whether you're a Standard or Low user, and whether you have an uncontrolled or controlled meter etc).
We include your previous power company's prompt payment discount in the calculation, but we don’t include any potential alternative plans or discounts that are additional to your old plan, such as dual fuel, e-bills or extra direct debit discounts (Download your Guide to Bullshite Power Deals” to find out why these deals might not be the bargains they seem).
The retailers we can compare against are Contact Energy, Energy Online, Genesis Energy, Mega Energy, Mercury Energy, Meridian Energy, Nova Energy, Payless Power, Pulse Energy, Tiny Mighty Power and Trustpower. If you were with any other retailer, or you're moving into a new property, we'll compare your total spend with Flick against the biggest power company in your area.

I’d like to Join Freestyle. Can I still get the guarantee?
The 12 month savings guarantee is exclusive to FIXIE. Put simply, we're confident our 6 month fixed generation price promise offers the best long-term savings.
Freestyle customers will still be able to ride the highs and lows of the spot price market and make the most wholesale power prices which change every 30 minutes. Meaning you can monitor live spot prices, use electricity when it costs you less and reap the rewards!
Do I get a refund if I have negative savings, and leave before my first year?
Customers will need to be on Flick's FIXIE price product for the full 12 months to receive a Guarantee settlement in the event of negative savings. This is because the guarantee has been calculated based on a 12-month market outlook.
What happens if I move house?
Due to the complexities of keeping track of Flicksters savings between different addresses, the guarantee will not stand in the event that you move house. However, if you sign up with FIXIE at your new property, we’ll of course set you up with a fresh guarantee period.
