Gas price protection 2010

Options
This will offer will expire on the 30th April. I have just received a letter from British Gas asking if I would like to sign up for 2012. Has anyone else receive a letter? I will be phoning them for more information as their letter does not make any sense.

    There are several threads on this tariff and the letter.

    Why doesn't it make sense?

    They will place you on the 2012 tariff automatically unless you tell them you don't want to be put on that tariff; they will then put you on their standard tariff unless you opt for one of their other tariffs such as websaver 7(their cheapest) or you can move to another company.

    The 2012 tariff is 4% more expensive than the standard tariff and generally not thought to be a good deal.
  • i have recieved a letter also from British Gas about their new capped tariff till 2012 at a 4% premium over their standard rates
    HAVE A LOOK AT OVO ENERGY I HAVE DONE THE MATHS and their Gas rate on New energy fixed are very very good 1.94pence ALL UNITS
    their electricity comes out at 12 % above what we have been paying for the last 5 years
    hope this of help
