British Gas rebate

Didn't know whether to post this here or on the gas board, but seeing as though it is to do with whether you claim certain bens or not, I've opted for here (unless a BG would like to move it? :))

Has anyone had theirs through yet?

I haven't had the 1st £30 yet, let alone the other one :(

    What kind of card do you mean Magoogy?

    I'm on a prepayment meter with a card I have to fund at a paypoint.

  • Hiya, No i didn't have my rebate on my Jan bill so i called B Gas and i was told that they didn't get round to putting all the rebates in on time for the jan bills and it would be on my next bill. So i am waiting to see what happens!

    Is it a Quantum meter you have?

    I rang them before and they said they were in the process of issuing postal order but they weren't sure when.

    By the time I receive a postal order, the cold weather will have probably been and gone!

    I pay quarterly and had my first £30 off the bill in November, next bill due any day so hoping for the other £30. I got it fine last year too.
