Only the butler shops at Harrods - he is such a snob!

You did say YOU shopped at Harrods once. But, I suppose sending the butler amounts to the same thing.

I have posted my figures and shown that I pay less per month for my utilities than with quoted cheapest ones. This was before a 2% decrease in prices. I shop at Sainsbury's on my way home from work and use the pre payment card to good effect. I still get Nectar points when I shop at Sainsbury's. Today, I spent over £60 in Sainsbury's. Not only do I get over £3 off my Utility Warehouse bill, but, I can now get 5% of my diesel spend towards my utility cost for the next two weeks. And, when I buy my next lot of fuel in the week, I will get 5p per litre off that spend too. I like getting a paper bill every month that is simple for me to understand. This method suits my lifestyle and wants. *I* am happy with what I do. Earning my "discount" is easy for me because it fits in with the way I did things before the card came along. If it suits me, it can suit many others too. You mentioned choosing, I choose to shop this way.

Then why not use your discount in the way I've described? I'm all for the UW discount card, if used sensibly. Nige, you cannot tell me that using the card to reduce an expensive tariff is the right approach? Surely even you can appreciate that UW offer expensive energy, its an undeniable fact. To attempt to reduce this cost is a waste of your discount. You might as well discount a UW service that is relatively competitive in the first place.

I'm starting to think that logic plays absolutely no part in the UW experience.

So you keep telling us.

Others who have read all your posts, and seen the childish nature of some of them together with the personal abuse (and childish sigs) can make their minds up over this without your constant claims!

If you make vile attempts to discredit me and others, expect to be debunked for what you really are.

So where is this UW beating cashback card then Quentin. It's another one of your failed attempts to discredit UW and distributors. Yet you call me childish to bring it up. I am only being truthful.

Lets see this cashback card that you have reported so many times before. Don't tell me it was just a lie to try to make UW sound worse than it really is like all your other claims. A false claim. An false attempt to discredit.

If you still can't provide a link to your UW beating cashback card you really don't have the right to come at me with your high and mighty attitude. I laugh in the face of your ineptitude.

Lets see this cashback card Quentin. Not providing it just proves your unworthiness to attempt to discredit others. It opens up the door for scorn if you don't.

I laugh in your face, ha.

1) You fail to mention you also have a vested interest in being a customer - your pref rates for being a rep!

Please quote the "rep's" preferential rates and how to get them, so that as I am an independent distributor with Utility Warehouse I can start claiming them.

I am a man of my word and a man of standing.

Compare that claim to:

But no attempt to abide by the rules.

And no attempt to justify the misleading post which includes this (note you chose to only describe yourself as a "customer", and never let on you are actually a uw rep!):

Here are my reasons for staying with UW as a customer including the energy.

The combined package is cheaper over the long term for gas, electricity, phone, broadband. The discounts are not just short term like with other companies because TP can afford to keep them at that level and still make profit because the company is more efficiently run. I like the simplicity that all customers get the same rates rather than 1000's of different energy rates as with the other companies. Just looking at energy alone is not important as its the combined bill that I pay.

Bearing in mind this is a site devoted to moneysaving, why do you think it isn't a headline recommendation for us all to switch to uw?

I presume that it is because Utility Warehouse does not suit everybody. But, it does suit me, at present it does suit Carmine, it does suit a few more who post here and therefore it can suit many others too.

It's pretty obvious that people know I am a distributor Quentin.

I contacted TPTB and we are supposed to let people know that we are independent distributors for Utility Warehouse every day or so if pages are added rapidly as they are in this thread. I try and mention that I am an independent distributor with Utility warehouse on every "page."

I obviously don't know what the advantages are to reps bills over ordinary customers.

But we have seen them referred to by the rep selling to the gullibe spanish teachers, where he encourages them to become reps then they can reap the reward of being their own "customers":

And elsewhere a rep has posted that all you need is "just" x customers to get free everything.

Please read the bit about choice. I choose to spend my money the way *I* want to. There is no Tesco, Morrisons, Waitrose, Somerfields on my walk to and from work. I do not try and tell you how to spend your money and I do not expect you to try and tell me how to spend mine. I am happy that I pay less for all my utilities than with any other company or group of companies by shopping the way I do.

I have answered your questions, how about now putting up your gas and electricity usage figures and provider(s) tariffs so that we can all see that you are saving money as you say you are?

If I moved my energy elsewhere then I would loose the discount by taking 4 services. I would then have to pay for calls in daytime and evening. It would cost me a lot more to do so as I do make significant calls in the day. This outweighs any energy discount I would get from the big six. Those discounts with the big 6 disappear after a few months anyway. The gas price has always been good anyway. The so called energy discounts elsewhere have too many stipulating factors for me anyway, the contracts are too binding. The deal with UW has suited me for 8 years. The cashback card is an extra saving for me. I have no minimum contract and could move at any time but chose to stay.

I am a UW distributor and proud of it as well. Let no man or woman tell me what to do with my utilities.
