You need to be careful about buying fuel at Sainsbury's and always expecting 5% of that cost to count against your utility bill. One must spend £50 at one go in the store in order to qualify for the 5% from fuel as well as ordinary shopping. Having said that, one £50 shop counts for two weeks so that you can fill up several times in that two week period. I spent more than £50 this morning and got a 5p off per litre voucher that also lasts two weeks. The pre payment card "discount" is 5%, so it's 5p off a pound, £5 off £100 and £50 off £1,000.

I put someone on my ignore list but the individual still appears, but not sure why. Can anyone tell me if they have the same problem? I'm sure I'm putting the correct name in the box.

There could be a problem with the system. I had the same thing happen to me and it was sorted by "the management." Also, there was a quentin as well as a Quentin.

I was recently challenged by someone defending Utility Warehouse prices. This is the response I got to my post:
—Quote—
Utility warehouse are really quite expensive now. Or are you an Agent for them?
—End Quote—
Here we go again, whenever somebody says something good about UW they are
immediately accused of being a distributor.
UW may not be the cheapest supplier especially compared to online tarrifs but they
are certainly not expensive. The last couple of times I did a comparison against
the other main suppliers UW came out cheaper than some and about the same as 2 of
them.
Perhaps name removed has his telephony/Broadband and the discount card with UW which would
mean he is getting B/Band + line rental + free calls all for around £22pm. With the
card he would be saving around £30 more pm…put this together and it is probably
better than even an online tarrif and he doesn’t need to keep changing suppliers
every few months.
These are my findings:
Gas and electricity based on average consumption of 3300 Kwh electricity per year and 20500 Kwh of gas per year. Energy prices are regional, so figures may differ slightly depending where you live. I live in the Scottish Power region in Scotland.
UW £1125
Online comparison £884
Telephone and broadband top end packages for unlimited any time usage
UW £299.88
Online £348.36
Mobile phone Blackberry 8520 curve pay monthly with blackberry package
UW 300 minutes or text £336
Online 300 minutes plus unlimited text £201
The savings from using an online comparison site are £327.52 per year
This does not include Utility Warehouse reward card scheme where you get money off your bills when you go shopping.
The energy companies were de-regulated so you can take advantage of lower prices. There are still billions of pounds in unclaimed discounts available by switching to an online tariff. Only 13% of UK households are using this facility on a regular basis.
just found this does this seem correct to you cardew your the expert! ps i did not type this i found this on a watch dog site i have read some of your previous posts if any one says anthing positive about uw you try to shoot them down and only answer by being rude and avoid the good pionts any one can do that!

You have been mislead over this.

The uw telephone/broadband offering does not include unlimited any time useage.

You only get free calls at weekends. To get anytime useage you must also take 2 other services from them, which as you have found are expensive!
