I have e Mail from British gas offering me a lot of nectar points if I change from EDF to British Gas...

£50 quids worth of points...

I am tempted.

Thoughts??

    It's their standard tariff. Not worth it. Next.:)

    Only if the tariff change saves you £50pa, which I doubt, since it's the most expensive BG tariff.
    It's only likely to be cheaper if you're already on EDF standard tariff, which I would hope you are not.

    British Gas are the spawn of the devil - it would take considerably more than £50 to tempt me to put up with the drama/shocking service/rip off charges. In a market off lemons they stand out as exceptional at being bad (closely followed by EDF)
