WebSaver1 from British Gas

gazz

Have all you British gas customers noticed the new BG tariff, they have dropped "click energy" and are calling it WebSaver1.

£60 forfeit if you switch away before Sep 09. Good news, or bad news, depending on how you feel about corrupt cashbacks.

Yeah, same complicated discounts, £30 for each fuel cancellation fee if you leave before ..(I forget when the date is) and it say it will be 10% cheaper than their standard rates (not hard) until whenever the date is.


Would be ok if it wasnt for the cancelation fees.

I wont be leaping onto it put it that way!

Heh, heh. So they've increased the price [STRIKE]of gas[/STRIKE]* this year yet again! Way to go, British Gas! Guess the Click 6 users should be happy - they are now cheaper than the new tariff compared to the Click 5 - Click 6 changeover. (Maybe. Or are the Click 6 users getting their increase in 65 days?)

* Oops. See post 8, below.

LOL. No thanks. I'll stick to the so-called corrupt cashbacks. :rolleyes:

If they were as good at extracting gas as they were urine, I reckon we wouldn't be worrying about energy bills this Winter...

On my modest annual energy expenditure of 220.00 electricity and in order to get dual fuel comparison results 10.00 gas a year. Websaver 1 is shown as 29.00 year more expensive than Click 6 that ive nearly left. ( 13%)

E.O.N Track and Save is shown as a further 40.00 more expensive, with BG Standard tariff a further 10.00 more expensive.

I fear other energy companies will now follow and introduce cancellation fees for variable rate tariffs.

As for "Corrupt Cashbacks", just means we will have to switch to more expensive tariffs which will make us even more eager to switch again ASAP.

Quick correction from my post 4:

Gas is 4% cheaper but electricity has a 23% increase to the 'standing charge' and a 15% increase to unit price. (Changes in your region may be different.)

I believe I was on Click Energy but - without any sort of notification - I have been switched to "Standard". Am I being ripped off (more than most people I mean)? Since they've "disappeared" any trace of Click Energy I can't really compare the tariff to the one they've moved me onto. Also, am I entitled to any cashbacks? I didn't sign up online but I'm on dual fuel.

I applied for Click 6 weeks ago. This is the first I heard from them today and they have put me on higher than applied for units. I think they have put me on a new tariff but I applied for Click 6 as I specifially wanted the 17p units and NO charge for changing as I wanted to be free to do whatever I wanted in the New Year. What do we do with them? I am now better off not changing but everything is all in action!

I suppose I call British Gas?

I would contact them via their contact us facility on the webpage and tell them that you applied for Click 6 and that unless they agree to put you on Click 6 then you wish for the matter to be treated as a complaint.
