I don't really want to move supply, but will if I can save money, however is worth me ringing BG and asking what they can do for me. Or will I be wasting my breath?

Has anyone had a successful haggle?

  • they only have 3 tariffs standrd online energy and ridiculously expensive fixed rate, all they will do at best is offer £100 creit on the bill but unit rate costs and disocounts will remain what you currently pay, have look on any of the comparison sites using annual kwh consumption as to which co would work out most cost effective.
  • Are you a current BG customer? If so there isn't much they can do for you other than offer you advice, nectar points and so on. The guys on the end of the phone can't reduce your unit costs. Though they may offer you an eco-kettle if you're extra nice!
