What is Powershop Lab?

We're unleashing a brand new app that lets you hack the system like never before and score the best deals on power. We're making it easier to spot which powerpacks will unlock your biggest discounts. Plus, we're way more reachable now - think lightning-fast phone and email responses.

We haven't unleashed all the bells and whistles just yet, but we're hustling behind the scenes to keep dropping new features that'll make your power game even stronger. 

We're all ears for your feedback - what's not clicking for you? What features are you desperately missing? Hit up our survey or ping us by phone or email to tell us what you want to see drop in Powershop Lab next!

We've ditched passwords for login links - a safer, slicker way to jump in. Follow the instructions below to log in.

  • 1. Download the new app

    Download the new Powershop Lab app on the App Store or Google Play on mobile, or open in your browser on desktop.

  • 2. Enter your email

  • 3. Enter login code

    Copy the unique code from our email to login to your account, or just tap the link. (Heads up: the link's got a short fuse, so if it self-destructs, no sweat - just grab a fresh one anytime!)

How to shop

The shop looks a bit different - and you'll only be able to do the essentials for now with the rest of your favorite power-hacking options dropping real soon. Here's an overview of how you can start to shop and pay for power in the new Powershop Lab app.

  • Powerpacks available

    The shop's loaded with Super Specials and Value packs, with Future packs hitting the shelves again very soon!

  • Shopping for packs

    One pack per purchase for now sorry - but multi-cart action is on it's way!

  • Making a payment

    When you checkout you can 'pay later' and your default payment method will be charged at the end of your billing period. Or if you want to pay sooner you can pay via bank transfer.

Pay by bank transfer

You can still pay by bank transfer, just log in to your internet banking and follow your bank’s bill payment process the same way you usually do.

Note: Your account number will now start with "A-", so when you get a chance make sure you update your payment reference to your new account number. This will mean we can match your payments much faster. But no stress if you don't – we'll still match up your payments, it may just take a few extra days to work our magic.

If you currently pay by credit or debit card you'll need to re-enter your card details on your account. For security, your payment details have not been transferred and cannot be updated over the phone - so you’ll need to re-enter them in the app before you can make a payment.
