British Gas - £90 retention bonus YIPPEEEE

trynsave

Until recently I was on the Apr 09 Price Dual Fuel Protection scheme offered by British Gas. I declined their automatice transfer onto the June 10 Protection scheme as rates were the same as their standard tariff.

I was planning to transfer both fuels to Eon as they offered Tesco clubcard points and I could get £70 cashback through Topcashback. The comparison quotes favoured Eon by only a couple of pounds per year, but the added extras made it worthwhile.

Just to be cheeky though I phoned BG to see if they would offer me a retention bonus and they have!

I could choose from either:
1) £60 credit added after 6 months if still a BG customer OR
2) £90 credit " " " after 12 months " " "

I went for the latter.

I have now applied via topcashback to get the Websaver 3 tariff from BG, but we will have to see if the £30 offered tracks as I was an existing customer - won't hurt to try!

I would get the retention bonus offered by British Gas in writing in case you get trouble 12 months down the line.

I've asked for it to be sent, and I have the man's name incase it isn't forthcoming.
