I'm looking to sign up for this tariff and notice that there is a £100 discount on your bill after 12 months. Does anyone know if this is only if you sign up on the npower site? Or can I use a comparison site and claim any cashback as well??


Thanks

    You should be able to sign up on any site. They offer the £100 on several of their tariffs and there are a couple terms to the offer. They give you the credit after a year and you have to pay via direct debt.
  • as long as you pay 12 monthly payments on direct debit you will always receive a £100 a year no matter which site you sign up with

    hope that helps

    Your annual £100 discount is included in your 1st 12 months direct debits,see the link below.

    They try to make out when you go through a comparison site that you get £100 credit after 12 months but your monthly DD for the 1st 12 months includes this £100 and you will not get £100 credit.
    So if your current supplier and npower come up with a similar DD you may think I will be better off with NPower since I get £100 credit after 12 months which is not the case.

    With Npower sign online 4 12700 kwh gas totals £492.99
    2450 kwh electricity totals £301.92 per year.

    Total £794.91

    With edf dual fuel 4 it comes to a total £689.93.

    However if you enter these totals into uswitch it
    only says -£3.11 over a year, since it
    takes into account the £100 so called discount.

    A lot of people do not realise this and think they
    are paying more or the same with a £100 bonus to come
    off Npower at the end of the year,which is not the case.

    You don't have to pay via monthly direct debits. You could pay by variable direct debits, which I think are quarterly, and still get the credit.

    It's not wrong. You can by quarterly direct debit and still get the £100 discount.

    The discount for quarterly and monthly direct debit is the same now at one hundred pounds. However I believe certain tariffs require monthly DD. So you could certainly have the one hundred pound discount, but may not have that tariff. Check the T & C's. I suspect not but I'm on SOL17 so not interested in SOL20 unless I go onto it.

    Read the thread topic

    npower Sign Online 20 Discount

    For this tariff you must pay by MONTHLY DD

    You may be able to pay other tariffs quarterly but not the one this thread is about.

    Read the Npower link above,its there in stand out red and reads.

    Exclusively for customers paying by monthly Direct Debit
