Staywarm / Tesco Clubcard points
i) Why do Staywarm customers NOT receive Tesco Clubcard points; is this another indicator by E-ON that Staywarm customers are not really wanted by them. ii) Why cannot Staywarm customers register on the E-ON website - another indicator perhaps, or do E-ON think that their "older" customers are not computer literate.
