Ebico no price reduction.
Just been on the phone to Ebico to increase my gas payments, while I was on asked them about price reductions and the answer. They reduced the gas and electric one in March and the other in April. As we only started with them in March we were unaware of this. They are going into the telphone service now as well.

Extra savings on switching
I did my regular check to see if I needed to switch suppliers last night, using uswitch as per usual. I found that I could save £97 using Powegen. Instead of signing up through uswitch, I used the quidco portal. This offered £50 if I signed up to the same tariff as was going to save me the money anyway. Therefore I saved…
