Despite the thread being derailed somewhat thanks for the laughs.
What we are not laughing about is the fact that we were not chosen and a chat over twitter contradicts what this forum says about opting into marketing and profile changes to half hourly readings.
I am just disappointed not to be chosen as Octopus offered it to all their customers.
Even more disappointing the EON Next representative didn't even bother replying to me the thread starter.
But hey ho I think maybe an FOI request for how they chose people?
1) Did they omit customers who were refugees from failed.supplliers
2) How many in total as a percentage were included in this trial
3) Did they omit customers with open complaints.

I can see you’ve confirmed you have half-hourly readings selected but have you opted in to receive marketing by email. I had neglected that bit so didn’t get invited. I signed up maybe a week or two ago and thought I’d missed the boat but received my first invitation yesterday to participate today. If you’ve only recently ticked the marketing box then there’s still hope you will get selected.
I'm an Eon Next dual fuel customer with no particular expertise but have some time on my hands that I am using to try and help out a bit.
FOI is useful if it’s a public body involved - I can’t think of one in this matter though.
Current Eon Next customer, ex EDF, Zog and Symbio. Don't think dual fuel saves money and don't like smart meters. Chronologically Gifted. If I offend let me know by private message, but I’ll continue to express my opinions nonetheless.
@Mstty
Customers may well be selected at random but I'm not sure how they can say it would have made no difference even if you were opted-in to marketing as you could never get invited if you were opted-out. Maybe you'll still get lucky but we'll probably never get to the bottom of why one person is selected over another.

Same as your good self I also signed up late, got my first invite yesterday for this evening’s event. So all is not lost.
