Utility Warehouse (Telecom Plus) Discussion

(On topic due to UW card discussion) This is getting crazy! We've had an online order from Sainsburys for the last 2 weeks but as we have too much food on our hands at the moment :eek: we've held off this week and planned to get an order delivered next Tuesday. With their Basics range it really is quite staggering how much less we are paying than previously, I may even have to downgrade my projected UW card spend as the shopping bill is nowhere near what it was before! :eek: IMO far better quality than the value ranges from the other supermarkets we've used. Far more ethically-produced as well (they don't sell caged bird eggs and their salmon is RSPCA-approved, for instance). And the brilliant trafic light labelling system has shown us that in most cases the Basics range contains less fat/salt/sugar than the brand name equivalents.

Anyway, no idea whether it's because we've 'missed' this week's order but we've just received an evoucher from Sainsburys offering £15 off a £70 shop. Effectively over 21% discount on an already mega cheap shop! Needless to say we will be taking them up on the offer. :beer:

I note from several threads on the new Shopping Forum that many people are, like us, realising just how cheap Sainsburys seems to be these days. Seems like UW have timed their cashback card launch just right. Who needs Asda and Tesco?

I messed up.
You may recall that I was trying to help a Utility Warehouse customer with a problem he was having. I sent an e-mail via my sponsored web site and forgot about checking that e-mail address until today. DUH! I got a response from the head office on the 1st. I've sent the customer a PM and hopefully the company will sort this case to his satisfaction. I have asked him to let me know how he gets on.

Hi Carmine

Don't worry about the Red Seirra, that's just vinny and me providing free (undercover) UW protection services for any potential new customers. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Which one of those two is Vinny then?

I'm sorry, but due to the confidential nature of the service we provide, it would not be appropriate to disclose the identity of individual undercover officers.

PS I am the pretty one. :cool:

LOL. Anyway, anyone who has already got the UW card may like to know that Sainsburys (in-store) are selling the Sony Bravia KDL-37U4000 37" LCD TV for an apparently bargainous £449.99 - with a 3 year warranty included. Cheaper than anywhere else I can see - plus, of course, £22.50 off your UW bill and literally loads of nectar points! And as this is a G&E forum on a money saving site, very cheap to run:

Power Consumption (Standby) (W) 0.6

Power Consumption (W) 123

Obviously I have a card but I've already got a telly. I did get Active Kids vouchers for the school, as well as the money off my utilities and Nectar points when I shopped there though. I should have enough Nectar points for a pair of Eurostar returns to Paris by our 40th wedding anniversary.

I've just tried to make my monthly phonecall to Utility Warehouse to let them know that they've got it wrong, again, and they're flippin' closed!

Just fancied having a moan

You can contact them through your account on their web site. "My Account" is near the bottom left of the page. Log in and click on Support at the bottom of the page. Then you will see that you can use e-mail.

I suspect that quite a few companies will be closed for Easter weekend.

No longer post on here but just thought I'd like to suggest that you contact the person who introduced you. Is it something they can do on your behalf?
