New registration for The Big Switch is now closed.

but if you've already registered you may get some info here.

Thanks.

I finally got my email through today, but have been asked to review my usage first (I didn't supply the details at the time of signing up).

I read this as not getting enough takers initially, I'm clearly the next tier down .

ETA: £155 annual saving, and no exit charge. I'm switching until July 2013, at which point I think competition will have driven prices lower.

You know I'm not even certain how this would work. They offer me the offer limited to first 20,000 so does that mean I will get it? Or is it first come first served? If so how can I consent as I don't know what I'm agreeing to.

Also the quote is based on standard as the tariff I was on is due to end 31st of May. I have already moved onto a tariff cheaper than this special offer. So all in all a complete waste of time. Must try harder!

My Big Switch savings are listed at between £377 - £398, Coop to Sainsburys.

I am sorely tempted but that saving, but can I trust it?

quidsinquentin I would not trust this figure. Make sure you are using your consumpsion figures- not your payments and check again. Try 2 comparison sites just in case 1 is having a blip.

I registered in March, and got an email at the time saying "Thanks for completing your energy details for The Big Switch."... and this is the last I've heard from them.

Is anyone else still waiting for their email? (And yes I've checked my Spam folder... it's not in there).

Me neither...not that I'm interested, having seen the feeble offerings they've come up with.

It's not just me then!

The winning bids would not save me any money but they did say that they would email with any other better deals than I currently have. To date nothing.

They started sending the quotes out on the 14th May, received mine on the 16th and another reminder on the 18th, the offers are only available until the 28th so if you really want an email I would get in touch with Which

I've just switched to Coop using the BigSwitch. Didn't get any spam emails. Used my energy usage to calculate savings (1550kWh electric, 6441kWh gas). Switching from BritishGas but used EnergyHelpline and GoCompare too, to check all available tariffs & compare with Bigswitch.

Bigswitch/Coop had the best dual duel discount for me (£129 saving on £635 bill with BG). EDF Blue+ was £2 less saving. There was one cheaper single fuel combination that would have been £20 cheaper (Ebico+NPower)(£35 cheaper incl. potential nPower cashback) but I preferred the convenience of one bill and account & like co-ops.

Works for me.

Just an update on this - after I noticed my missing email, I left a message on their voicemail and they did send out my email the next day.

It does say I'm better off on my current deal though (a fixed rate but sadly one which hasn't long to run).
