Utility waerhouse
I have not read all the Threads, so this may have already been written about but has any one had any think to do with Utility warehouse,
IE putting all or most of your bill with one company and getting cash back on most of your payment with there credit card , which can be used as a pre-load card. so you don't get chargen when paying for plain ticket etc,
They are cheaper on gas and electric, you get good cash back in a lot of the shops we shop in, and you can have a business card with them to ??
I understand Martin would split every think up, but the time taken to sort every think out could take 2 days ???
Any thoughts good or bad ???

Utility Warehouse
This is a special area for the discussion of Utility Warehouse (Telecom Plus).
Unfortunately, it has become the topic for heated debate in the past and detracted from the main gas & electricity discussions. Therefore I would like to keep it restricted to just this discussion. Past discussions have been closed due to too many arguments between posters. This is a huge drain on resources and if it continues in this thread we'll have no choice but to keep the thread locked.
What is Utility Warehouse?
Unlike most energy companies and resellers Utility Warehouse operates by network marketing which means its customers are encouraged to sell on the product to their friends and they get commission for it.
This tends to mean it does well on feedback charts, as customers have a vested interest, and many of them are evangelical about the firm – and sometimes over claim. That in itself doesn’t make the product bad, but in our view it is no better or worse than any other energy provider.
Utility Warehouses prices are included in all the main comparison services we list therefore if the company turns out to be cheapest for you it should be listed by the comparison sites and then it’s worth going for. Please see the Compare gas & electricity guide for more.
Some strict rules
Due to rather bitter discussion about this we have had long term rules established.- All Telecom Plus Distributors must declare it when they post
- All workers or those related to other utility companies must declare it
- There are to be no abusive comments, accusations of fraud.
- Anyone breaking the above rules will be barred first of all from this board, and if they persist, from the Forums as a whole.
For general, non-UW, discussions on gas & electricity click here.
And please, I know there are two very polemic views on Utility Warehouse going to be expressed in this thread. Please do not libel anyone. Treat those with opposing arguments with respect, even though you disagree and please try and avoid personal remarks. I live in hope!
