Have you seen/heard about the £140 cashback offered by TopCasback website to switch to Scottish Power. Savings are from £187 to £14 and it's a bit confsuing what to pick up. Anybody switched with them? Is it better to check prices on comparing website?

    Ive just recently switched away from them to EDF. You need to check out best supplier for your area, not just the biggest cash back.

    Hi tomines, l've switched TO them. You need to check the comparison sites aswell as seeing who is the cheapest supplier to your area.

    You will probably get differing usage points and/or standing charges and unfortunately it might mean a little bit of calculating on your part based on this past years usage by yourselves.

    Hopefully as was my case, you'll find Scottish Power is your cheapest supplier without the cashback. Even if not, see where SP comes on your list, they may charge you a little bit more but with the cashback you'd still be better off with them?


    Happy moneysaving all.

    Yes, if you want the best deal.
