Is a "Mercury Energy promo code" the same as a referral link?
Mercury does not use typed checkout codes. Joining offers attach to the quote: you enter your address at mercury.co.nz/join and the current credit or bundle deal applies to the plan and term you pick. Searches for Mercury promo code, Mercury referral code and Mercury discount code all land in the same place. See promo code vs referral code.
How Mercury compares for switching
Mercury's strength is the bundle: power plus broadband or mobile on one bill, 100% renewable generation, and Rewards on your account. Contact Energy runs its own bundle credit (up to $600 across 12 months with code BROADBAND25), so price both against your own usage before switching.
