I want to get one but we pay £8.50 a month for water supply, and this seems very low anyway from what others have said, so maybe I wouldn't save.

I used to pay my metered Thames Water bill by direct debit every month like a good boy until they decided to up my monthly amount by 162% from £ 26 to £ 42 in Aug 2005 for no good reason other than to ensure I didn't underpay. There is no discount for paying monthly ( as per other utilities ) so I told them to cancel the direct debit and I would pay their 6 monthly bills in arrears thanks all the same - thus I earn interest on the money up until the moment I pay the bill by electronic bank transfer.

Now I can pay my Thames Water bill using a cashback credit card through their website and still pay 6 months in arrears + get 50'ish days interest free to settle my credit card bill & for no extra charge.:beer:
