anyone who is a british gas customer can use this on their p.c to top up their gas and electric card/key online to save going to a paypoint. thought it might be of use to someone.

No good to me as not a customer. Does anyone know if Scottish Power do the same. Last I heard, you had to pay (about £15)

Thanks for the link. I've had a quick look through and can't find out anything about the cost, but I'm sure I was told it was about £15.

read this and be careful:

* £10 will be charged for the Home Energy Top Up connector if you do not top up or return the connector to us within 30 days of us sending it to you.

OP, you're a star

Always hate the trek out to get electric, the shop people think I'm mad when I ask for £90 at a time lol

Scot Pwer one is free too. But it shows you on screen when you use more leccy and gas and at what times etc. bit like an online bill, but without the bill lol.

Does anyone know if SSE/Scottish Hydro do this? Seems like a great idea!
