Utility Warehouse Customer Bonus Improvements 2025: What Partners Need to Know
Strengthened income opportunity for UW Partners
The 2025 updates to the Utility Warehouse Customer Bonus and commission structure represent one of the most Partner-friendly improvements UW has rolled out in recent years. These changes streamline earnings, remove unnecessary admin, reduce clawbacks, and make it easier for Partners to understand exactly what they’ll be paid and when. Let’s break down what’s changed, why it matters, and how these improvements strengthen the income opportunity for both new and experienced UW Partners.
Utility Warehouse has introduced a series of major improvements to the Customer Bonus and commission payment process, all designed to make Partner earnings simpler, clearer, and more consistent. For many years, one of the biggest frustrations for Partners was managing service updates during the old “1st–10th window” and manually chasing additional bonuses when customers added more services. From November 2025 onwards, that time-consuming admin is gone.
Automatic Customer Bonus Payments for Services Added Within 90 Days
One of the most significant improvements is the automatic top-up of Customer Bonus payments for any services a customer adds within 90 days of signing up. Instead of manually checking accounts or contacting Partner Services, the system now tracks everything for you.
If a customer takes an additional service within this 90-day window, UW automatically pays the extra Customer Bonus — with no further action needed from the Partner. That’s an extra 80 days of earning opportunity without stress, phone calls, or missed bonuses.
“This 90-day automated tracking is a game-changer. It protects Partner earnings, cuts admin, and gives us far more confidence that every service added is recognised and paid fairly.” — Jeremy Tromans, Utility Warehouse Partner
Payments Triggered When Services Go Live (with One Important Exception)
UW has also changed how Customer Bonus payments trigger. Payments will now be made when a service goes live within the calendar month, making the process more logical and predictable.
This eliminates the old complexity where certain services needed to be geographically tied to others, and it allows Partners to clearly see what will be paid in any given month. However, there is one exception — Broadband.
“Paying Broadband at the ‘pending’ stage is a practical, thoughtful update. It means Partners are rewarded sooner and more reliably — exactly what we’ve been asking for.” — Jeremy Tromans, Utility Warehouse Partner.
Broadband Now Pays at “Pending” State
Because Broadband installations typically take around two weeks to go live, UW has built a fairer system:
You are now paid the Broadband portion of the Customer Bonus as soon as the service hits “pending” status. This prevents commissions from straddling two payment windows and ensures Partners receive earnings earlier and more consistently.
This also leads to some immediate advantages:
- Single-service Broadband customers now pay £50 Customer Bonus even before the service goes live.
- Two-service customers (Mobile + Broadband) now pay £100 Customer Bonus when mobile is live and broadband is pending.
Previously, these scenarios would have paid £0 until the Broadband activation date.
How Month-End Scenarios Work Under the New System
Most scenarios under the new rules result in payments that are equal to or greater than under the previous logic. However, UW is transparent in pointing out the rare edge cases affecting customers signed up in the final days of a month.
For example, a 3-service homeowner with Energy (live), Broadband (pending), and Mobile (pending) may see their total £250 paid across two months. This will typically only happen when sign-ups occur 1–3 days before month-end.
In practice, because Broadband now pays at “pending,” these scenarios will be uncommon, and the improved predictability more than compensates for the occasional split payment.
“These updates give us far clearer expectations around commission. Even when a payment splits across two months, the overall earnings remain the same — and the process is more transparent than ever.” — Jeremy Tromans, Utility Warehouse Partner.
Removal of Referral-Based Clawbacks
Another Partner-friendly improvement is the removal of referral-related Customer Bonus clawbacks. Previously, a £50 clawback could occur when UW paid the full amount upfront and needed to adjust after the referral was applied.
This risk has now been eliminated. UW will simply reduce the £50 at the outset in any referral scenario. The result?
- Fewer clawbacks
- Cleaner statements
- More confidence in the accuracy of your payments
“The end of referral-based clawbacks is a huge win. Partners can now build their customer base without worrying about unexpected adjustments later.” — Jeremy Tromans, Utility Warehouse Partner.
