Hi

thought I'd check USwitch to see if I can save money on gas & electric. I'm with NPower and my bill says I'm on the ENERGY BONUS ADVANCE E7 & ENERGY BONUS ADVANCE GAS. But this doesn't appear on the drop down menu on ANY comparison sites :( how can I compare correctly??

Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning

  • Energyhelpline has a "energy bonus" tariff, is that it?

    Try it and when the comparison is complete it will give details of your existing tariff including kwh prices. See if they are the same as on your bills.

    energy bonus is npower standard just in 1st year you get an additional £100 rebate as well as their standard £105 rebate for dual fuel and paying by direct debit, so there will be plent of tariffs out there that actual cost of energy is way cheaper than what you pay, just wont offer, in a year, a rebate of £200, but you are paying it to Npower, for them to credit it back to you.

    Hi Airmike, yes I know all about the plan we're on - it was the cashback that made my husband decide to take them up without consulting me first :mad::mad: hence why I am now looking to change. Thanks for explaining anyway. I just ciuldn't find it on the comparison sites that was all.

    Except in many cases including mine, the rebates mean that Npower still work out noticeably cheaper than most other energy suppliers.
