    As always the story is in the detail, cashback is only one thing, price per Kwh and service is another

    Also make sure you compare with EDF

    When I did a comparison on https://www.energyhelpline.com the rates from EDF and Sainsburys appeared to be identical (online s@ver v6) but you can potentially get £80 cashback for dual fuel switch to EDF via TCB vs £50 cashback with Sainsburys:

    yup, £50 cashback is particularly miserly compared with most other offerings available via cashback sites making this noticably off the pace when it comes to topping the chart, its not usual for MSE to be so far off the mark like this? standards slipping MSE? is Martin away on holiday?
