USWITCH or USTITCH ???

Powergen customers on ENERGYONLINE tariff who compare on this site are only allowed to select tariffs , that uswitch can do for you online, however that DOES NOT include the *ENERGYONLINE tariff...

So like what does that mean?

It means that when you are comparing and they ask for your current suppliers tariff you will probably select dual fuel from the *AVAILABLE list (like I just did) therefore it will tell you that you can save £200 + per year (£211 with me actually) so you may go on to switch online thiking you have compared your correct tariff , when you have not so it will effectiveley cost you £200+ MORE than you currently pay !!!!!!!!!

so BEWARE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the ENERGYONLINE tariff is nowhere to be seen UNTIL you select the option below...

    ebico are often cheaper for a lot of customers but you have to select 'Social Tariffs' to view them! They seem to make it very difficult to get a list of all suppliers, regardless of whether they can transfer you or not.

    I'm confused a bit - I ticked 'YES' and EnergyOnLine came top and then I tried again this time ticking 'NO' and it still came out top, so I'm missing something here matey
