I think I switched to SaveOnline9 after something like SaveOnline2 finished. So I am not getting a cut? It was already barely a discount under the standard tariff! The a$£holes.

Makes me want to switch just to spite them.

Switch away from E.On SaveOnline 9?

Do you have any idea what unit rates you are paying?

With Eon you can switch tariffs up to 8 times a year so don't have to stay on one product for it's life span.

Not really. It's all in paperwork mountain somewhere. Would SaveOnline 9 be the one I switched to in September? I remember thinking it wasn't even the cheapest then, but I didn't want to switch to NPower and have their 'end of year discount' thing for the sake of a tenner.

I pay SaveOnline 9 Tier 2:

Electricity 9.61 +DD+DF+VAT => 9.28p per kWh
Gas 2.948 +DD+DF+VAT => 2.8478p per kWh

You have to pry SaveOnline 9 out of my dead fingers.

I got a phone call from EON yesterday trying to sell me gas/electricity and I was dirctly told that they have cut BOTH rates by 6% which appears to be untrue. Not sure if I should highlight this to someone as I have no proof that this was what was said?

Well I'm not getting excited. After all the price rises, 6% won't make much difference, and they've only done it because the others have and don't want people to switch.
You wait, come Autumn they'll be announcing a price rise of 10%.

Just checked our SaveOnline 9 details - "If our standard Eon energy Plan prices change, your prices may also change. But they will always be at least 2% cheaper for 12 months."

1. 'may' does not equal 'will' - it appears discretionary
2. does anyone know if there is a comparison on their web-site between 'standard prices' and all the various plans they have had that are still current?
3. is there anyone, anywhere who can check what they will charge - especially given the end of year accounting Eon does?

Pincher

They don't have a policy of telling you what they will do,
which is always what they can get away with.

I expect:

1. E.On will try to sneak in a price increase for SaveOnline 9 on 27th February.

We will complain, maintaining that they promised no increase during this winter.

2. E.On will then offer me £10,000 to keep quiet, which I will refuse because it's not enough.

3. On further negotiation, I accept a £50,000 bribe.;)

4. Somebody else will stand up because I no longer complain.

Wow, I managed to remember my Eon log in first time, and I actually am on SaveOnline 9 like I thought.

I take it it's good then? What do you mean by 'Tier 2'? Is this a particular tariff you're on but I'm not, or are you just showing the numbers for the units excluding the initial units?

Thanks!
