BG have offered me Homecare 200 at £15.30/mth which I want to accept. I've checked and can get to BG site via topcashback but as I go thru process and almost reach the end I can't find any box to add my code to get the special price. Leaflet I've got says to log onto britishgas.co.uk/10 so does anybody know if I can use topcashback to get my special price and get the cashback too? :(

Every penny saved is needed. Many thanks.

    Homecare 200 (with no fees for repairs) costs from £17 p.m.

    If you've code a code from someone to get the price down, you probably can't use it with any cashback site. It's probably being funded from the same pot, but being offered in a different way, if you see what I mean - you can't get the same money twice.

    Thanks Premier. I think you're right, but I was hoping to save more. I'm going to go ahead with it anyway.

    Thanks again

    If that is so, why waste £183.60 p.a. on Homecare cover? Put the money in a savings account and you'll soon have enough to cover most eventualities.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    very true, unless you're really unable to save up money regularly to cover 'emergencies' those policy's usually represent terrible value for what you actually get for them.....
