    I was just wondering janninew, is the £9 extra just for the energy not including the multi service discounts by taking the other services and the cashback card reduction.

    I'm not really sure, when I entered my details on Uswitch the cheapest deal (for gas and electricity) would have saved my 9.00 per month. I have phone, broadband etc with UW and use the cashback card.

    By the way, is that a new signature?

    Very rich coming from someone who can't even persuade his wife to make (or even just try, lol) a small change in order to save over £300 a year on utilities :rolleyes:. When your own money saving credentials are beyond reproach feel free to come on here and pontificate. Until that time stop being a hypocrite.

    Another lesson in disinformation for carmine (UW shareholder/customer/..........?)

    When you start to answer questions maybe then I could start to take your contribution seriously, I'm afraid slagging off posters without actually answering key points shatters the illusion of credibility.

    Go on mate, its Friday, weekend fast approaching, answer a question just me.....

    Might have to report that for abuse. Its not big or clever to try and ridicule and intimidate fellow MSE member's.

    More nonsense. If you can't persuade the woman who loves you to make a small change to save your household over £300 a year, why are you on the internet trying to get a lady you've never met to change? :confused: An exercise in ego rebuilding? It's just sad behaviour. It used to be funny, now I would feel guilty laughing.

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    I don't demand anything of my wife, question answered. Care to answer one?

    But it does let everyone see the sort of people uw are happy to have as senior members of their team, to say nothing of their attitude towards the damage it does to their company image. (Or do the uw care about their image?)

    Yes if you entered it into Uswitch then its just for energy. Uswitch doesn't accurately calculate the energy part of your UW bill though. For instance it counts the membership fee twice and does not separate the gas and electricity tariffs onto low, standard or high user. That means the actually amount you pay more per month for energy alone would be less than the £9 against the 'lowest' Uswitch quotes. The combined deal not including the cashback card may in fact be better value than lowest Uswitch quotes.

    Are you willing to give your region and annual usage for gas and electricity in kwhs (standard units) so that it can be accurately calculated.

    I was wondering how long it would take for someone to notice my signature.

    I am willing to give my figures and region (i have nothing to hide - unlike some!)
    Gas - 5221kwh
    Electric - 2513kwh

    I live in Lancashire, is that enough information or do you need my exact location (which I don't really want to give!)
    I have gas, electric, phone and broadband. I also have the cashback card which has approx 1000.00 spent on it each month.

  • Does this UW-beating cashback card exist or is it just a figment of Quentin's vivid imagination? I think we need to be told...
