Do Comparison Sites consider D/D Rewards?

oxters

At present with npower I receive a £100 anniversary Direct Debit Reward.

Do the comparison sites take into account these "bonuses" in calculating my potential savings?

I am on the fixed tariff till 31.12.10 with npower although I am free to switch if I want and I am uncertain as to likely savings

like some others on here I am sceptical as to actual savings quoted but I suppose the best method of being sure is to compare the unit cost of the utility for each supplier - but that's not always easy!!

Yes they do, and comparing the unit cost from each supplier isnt the best approach as the discounts can make all the difference (E-on's online discounts can be up to 24% so if E-on come up as saving you 20% then the unit rates must be about 4% more than you are currently paying)
