    The quote I did shows no saving from my Atlantic Dual fuel but my thoughts are that assuming the £100 tracks and I select a no cancellation tariff it has to be worth my while. I must be an average power user so £100 must be worth more than the tiny differences in units?

    Some reading this thread might not be aware that up to an extra 5.00 can be made by doing up to 5 Car Insurance/energy Comparison searches, the results often state which tariffs have exit fees. ( remember to clear cookies before applying via Quidco)

    The REAL money saving strategy is to keep doing this, it can be done up to 4-5 times per year. Of course you need to transfer away from SP next to get some more cashback (E.on are currently offering £62 for a dual fuel switch thru Quidco). Then, of course, there's nothing to stop you going back to SP next and claiming more cashback. Please be aware, though, with all the tariffs that have exit fees it is getting more difficult to be serial switcher these days...

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    This was my concern as no saving is shown compared to my BG but I think with the £100 I will still go for it and then do as 1carminstocky says and keep switching whilst avoiding packages with exit fees hopefully.

    Just switched to the online energy dual fuel no standing charge package to avoid exit fees as I will switch again when the process is complete - hope it goes through Quidco ok :)

    I initialed a move from eon to SP last night. Quidco tracked £100 last night but just show SP rejected me the cashback. This is strange as I'v never been a SP customer before.
    I will have to stay with eon on my online 13 for now as cheaper than any SP tariff.
    Still wonder why?? Is it worth to try again using wife's name?

    That is strange - will keep an eye on my cash bank and hope same doesn't happen to me, I have never been an SP customer either so would hope it will go ok.

    Suppose you could only try in wife's name and see what happens??

    SP will try to move my account to them in the next few weeks and I will reject the move. Maybe call them tomorrow to accelerate it. I gave them my address, current provider and contact number.
    So still not sure the timing to try again before £100 offer gone.

    My £100 has tracked fine. Hopefully they pay fairly promptly and in 3-4 months I can see what other cashback offers are available. Seems a good way to Offset the cost of heating the house!

    Only concern is that if the companies feel they're being led a merry dance by the serial switchers they may stop offering the incentives. Hopefully enough people stick and I can keep moving!
