Problem signing up for British Gas Click Energy 6

I've been trying to switch to this via Quidco for 2 days now. After filling everything in I get a page saying "System error, Please try again".

Anyone else had a problem.

Always swore I'd never go back to BG but they are £170 a year cheaper according to comparison sites. Perhaps this is natures way of telling me not to!

  • Hello, I switched this morning (after Atlantic's letter hit the doormat yesterday) and it went through Quidco OK.
  • Just tried again:

    "A System Error has occured. Please try again."

    :cool:

    Why do you worry about going through quidco? It only pays £5 for a dual fuel transfer anyway.. Others pay £15.
  • BGas say that they've had too many admin problems when using the transfer/comparison websites, and they prefer people to apply direct. You can do it through their own website or by phone.

    Having got the system failure several times I did it by phone today and had a very nice Welsh lady at the other end. The number I used was 0845 600 2084
  • If you have free calls to geographical numbers, the alternative number for British Gas is 0113 3381022.

    Which others pay £15?

    I know the cashback sites listed above of the page don't offer cashback on this tariff.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
