    Okay mate Looking at Bg frontline on our intranet we do it for gas only. on the page I was looking at it said by estimating your yearly usage you would get a 2% discount on top of the ddeb discount by paying this way. I think you can request to pay that way if you ask a energy agent.

    hope that helps mate

    Cheers Gerrard - not quite as good a discount as previously on Price Protection April 2009 but it was on Gas only for that too. Why isn't promoted/detailed on the website I wonder :confused:

    Can you tell which tariff it is available on - Standard Tariff, Websaver, the offered Price Protection 2010 ?

    I tried the 0800 316 5664 number on the most recent BG letter "You can call us free 24 hours a day on..." to be greeted with "were closed, open 08:00- 20:00" :rotfl: I'll try again tomorrow !

    Many thanks for your efforts

    Still just about worth having with interest rates so low.

    2% equates to 3% nett(3.75% gross for a standard tax payer)
  • Im sure you can do it with Fix and Fall, Websaver and standard tariffs. I didnt know we even done that until I browsed Frontline for all the information.I would just ask for it

    I guess so yes - savings on the previous Rate I was getting on the April 2009 PP tariff was better than "money in the bank" !

  • i would not make any hasty moves into switch electric supplier, they are advertising that they are the cheapest on average, but when I checked it out, they are not so in my area. . .
