80.00 Scottish Power Dual Fuel Cashback Returns

  • Hi,

    I think I read somewhere on here that EON have a sting in the tail with a higher bill when you switch away from them - but before I take the plunge with Scottish Power please does anyone know of any catches with Scottish Power - are there any exit fees or similar with them?

    Many thanks in advance.


    Yes, Eon are sneaky with the way they don't grant discount on the final bill. It's a never-ending exit fee by another name. Be careful here. In my (Yorkshire) region the cheapest SP tariff without a cancellation fee* is (get this!) ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX POUNDS more expensive than EDFs Online V5 tariff based on average usage! EDF are giving £60 cash back for a dual fuel switch, btw.

    * SP Online (no standing charge).
    Call me Carmine....

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    So that still makes you quids in by more than (get this!) FIFTY POUNDS with Scottish Power. :confused: (Even more at this time of year.)

    Stop wasting time with acrostics, try concentrating on posting truthful information. The cheapest Scottish Power tariff without a cancellation fee is only thirty pounds more expensive per year (and with no need for messing about with what EDF think your direct debit should be). I thought you were a stickler for full disclosure and completeness? Why post such a dishonest sentence?

    Acrostics? :D Talking of full disclosure/completeness, what SP tariff would that be? :confused:

    Paying quarterly, Scottish Power standard tariff is only £23 dearer than the cheapest - EDF track and save 2 (£1195 v £1173). So that's £3.66 over two months.

    Paying by D/D, SP's OnlineExtraSaver6 is only £29 dearer than EDF's Online 5 (£1029 v £1000). Less than a fiver over two months.

    Eh??? :confused: Is this some sort of joke? :confused:

    Here's my post again:

    The pathetic SP quarterly tariff you mention is actually (get this! :p) TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX POUNDS more expensive than EDF online 5!

    And the SP Online Saver 6, I hate to be the first to tell you, has cancellation fees attached. Did you miss that T&C? Plus, certainly in my Yorkshire region , is STILL (get this!) ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY ONE POUNDS more expensive than EDF online 5

    I suppose it's too much to ask for an apology for accusing me of posting dishonestly?
