  • I would like to thank you for letting us know about the gas and electric rebates.
    I phoned them on 29th December and was told to leave them a message as they were busy,but they didnt phone me back.
    I phoned them today and registered.I told them about phoning them earlier and the man said he would put a note on the computer that I had phoned before,and hopefully I would get the £60 :p
  • Many thanks, I didn't know about this rebate, I know the deadline has passed (only heard about it yesterday (4th Jan) but I will phone in the morning and see what happens. Why are customers not told about this rebate.? I did not receive notification about it with my last bills, and would not have known abut it if i hadn't e-mailed Money Saving Expert. grateful reader

    I passed this on to my friend and mother and we ALL qualify. Left a message and no less than 2 people called me back. Good service! We all got our rebate. THANK YOU!

  • Well I don't know what happened, but my letter came through today from them saying I will get the full £60 even though I applied on the 3rd!! I'm not going to query it myself, obviously, but maybe it might be worth checking again seeing as I've got it?

  • This doesn't seem to work for me. I can never get a an answer on the posted number, and when I spoke to someone on another number at british gas they said you had to be specially nominated by the government to get the rebate and that you can't just apply!
  • phoned the number today only to be informed that it didnt apply to scottish power customers only british gas .

    fed up now
  • Many thanks ..... rang today, got through first time and they will be sending me a
    £30 cheque in the post.

    Just sorry I didn't read about it earlier.
