Simply Switch are not included in the resource bar above of Price Comparisons with cashback/wine.

However they are recommended as a comparison site that offers £35 (dual fuel) or £15 (single fuel) in amazon vouchers in todays Money Tips:
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/latesttip/

as well as the information page on Cheap Gas & Electricity (updated 27th Feb 2009)
http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/utilities/you-switch-gas-electricity


However, according to Simply Switch's own terms and conditions:
This offer is only available from 3rd September 2008 until 30th November 2008. MoneyExpert have the right to remove or extend this offer an any point during this term
http://www.simplyswitch.com/moneysavingexpertcashback/ss_offer_page_tc.html

Is this offer still available and if so, could someone from MSE please contact Simply Switch to get them to update their terms & conditions on their website to clearly reflect this?


Edit: terms of deal now updated - see post#4 below

    As this comparison site is again being promoted in this weeks 'Martin's Money Tips', I thought it would be worthy of a bump.

    See here for peoples experiences (even apparently when the deal was active according to the website)

  • Simply conned by simplyswitch no reply to emails still waiting months later no replies why are they still recommended by Martin? They need to be taken off the links list or shape up and sort out fulfilling their offer.

    Martin has mentioned Simply Switch again in his 13 May 09 tips email.

    Does this mean the £35 amazon offer has been extended beyond 30 Apr 09, as the terms and conditions haven't been updated?
