Well I'm quite happy with my PAYG phone on the Ovivo tariff...costs me nothing every month as I keep under 100 calls, 100 texts and 300MB of data. My partner is quite happy with her Samsung Galaxy S3 on O2 costing £26 a month, unlimited calls, unlimited texts and 1GB of internet.

I'm happy with my home phone/internet tariff.

I'm happy with my gas/electric tariff.

I don't spend enough to justify a cash back card.

I don't need free calls to landlines as I just use the O2 mobile whenever I need to. I've never called customer services. I always email and I've got a response back within a day.

Fantastic for you! But don't assume everyone has your austere lifestyle. That's the mistake you are making.

The graph to the right shows the results of an MSE poll of over 13,000 people showed the most common grocery spend was £20-39 per person per week, or £86-£158 per month!

This doesn't include fuel, which could easily double these figures!

The important point is that you don't have to buy UW's expensive products to get some good discounts.

You appear to have a bee in your bonnet about them being expensive. Not always cheapest but then again not always expensive.Just like other suppliers have good points and bad.

Ok...that's makes no sense...austere with the latest smartphone from Samsung.

aus-tere : (of living conditions or a way of life) Having no comforts or luxuries; harsh or ascetic.

But you stated you 'don't spend enough to justify a cash back card'. Your words, not mine. Anyone who doesn't maximise their monthly spend by utilising ANY FORM of cash back card isn't a true money saver (you join Cardew in this elite club ). we recently did loads of home improvements so utilised the B&Q Club 20% weekend deals in conjunction with the 3% reserve and collect TCB cashback and 5% cash back on the UW card. Massive savings all round. I'm surprised you think you can offer money saving advice yet neglect one of THE best ways of saving money each and every month. It doesn't compute.

So who are you with then ? Lets pick them to bits.:D


Do the mobile suppliers you mention allow you to terminate your contract if you lose your mobile without paying the full line rental?

Do they allow you to switch your minutes down and up whilst in contract ?

I understand UW do .

Plus.net unlimited fibre optic broadband...

UW charge £10 for a tariff change but yes they do allow it.

To paraphrase Brian Conley

IT'S A CREDIT CARD!

Yet more hilarious comparing of 'like with unlike' going on in this thread. Does it really mean that much to you that you will post such sillyness? Totally embarrassing.

Yes I did state that there was a credit card and a current account; did you not understand what was written?

I also stated that if the criteria for selecting energy and comms was to get shopping discounts, then why not get the cheapest energy and comms from the wide choice available - which obviously rules out UW products - and get discounts on a wide range of items.

Not silly or hilarious, and the only embarrassment is your post(s)

P.S.
Quite like old times;)

But dont they put the difference in your bank if it exceeds your monthly bill.

Talking to our handyman the other day one of the local B&Q best customers,Mrs shops at Sainsbury he buys petrol there. Pays it all on his UW card. Swears by it,says he always has a nice credit.

Another bee you appear to have in your bonnet is where people dont agree with you in this thread, or post something favourable about UW you immediately accuse them of being a representative of UW.

Wrong yet again Sunshine.I was one but left years ago.Not with them for any products. No vested interest here. Not even a shareholder.Hence me not declaring an interest.But i know a few customers happy with them i mentioned one earlier. Is this a hanging offence.:p

Do you have any business interest in Utility Companys. If so would you like to declare it ? I cant believe anyone would waste so much time knocking one particular provider if they didnt.

We can only go on what you previously posted (which was that you are a uw rep) !
