    Are you being deliberately obtuse?
    How about you? I find your constant refusal to post your gas and electricity usage, current supplier and tariff to negate any point of view that you maintain. Were you to produce the numbers and information, it would add weight to further points you try and put across.

    When was this cashback card first mentioned Carmine? I think it must have been before I joined, I can honestly say that we will probably never know anymore about it, which I find a tad unfair! If it can save the people of MSE money, why will Q not give us more information?



    Quentin first mentioned its apparent existence way back in January. And since then he has incredibly just totally ignored all requests for further details/a link. This includes replying to people's post by quoting them but always taking out the part where details of the cashback were requested. Seriously, what would any casual reader in their right mind make of that?

    HAVE YOU SEEN QUENTIN'S CASHBACK CARD??

    Jimexbox's opinions will carry no weight until he posts his actual figures (not some made up 'average' ones!) and his current supplier. Plus the fact that some of his previous posts made little sense, I think any new person reading this will have him well sussed out by now. I think most people on here (for and against UW) make some interesting posts, but Jimexbox's comments are very repetitive and don't offer any useful information, unless your Mr Average!

    I don't think he really likes me, maybe because I pulled him about breaking the forum rules for posting on another board about UW! Apparently this was a genuine mistake!!

  • Has Xbox STILL not posted his figures? LOL. What will happen first - Q posting the link to the cashback card or Xbox his usage figures? I wouldn't hold your breath on either count. There's a definite pattern emerging here with the AUWF, don't you think?

    Yes. One of them says "These average figures from such and such a site show that Utility Warehouse has high prices." I reply with "I pay less to Utility Warehouse for my gas and electricity than I would to any other company." Quentin will then say "But if you go with such and such, your gas and electricity will be much cheaper and you can get cash back with this wonderful card." I reply, "Please post a link to the card." Then another one will say "Look at these pages from an average site. They show that I pay 19% less than I would with Utility Warehouse." Then I say "Show us your actual usage, current provider and tariff so that we can see how you actually manage it." Then Cardew will say "All you people who save money with Utility Warehouse are gullibles. AND, all you people who show others how to save money with Utility Warehouse are wrong because I say so." Then I say "If I am paying less, and, they can pay less too, how does that make me/us/them gullible?" Then one of them will say Utility Warehouse gas and electricity prices are really high." Then I say "It is a fact that I pay less for my gas and electricity to Utility Warehouse than I would to any other company, How do you explain that?" Then because it's a new page and I have to add "I am an independent distributor with Utility Warehouse and views I express may not be shared by the company."

    Is that what you meant?

    I was wondering this to Steve and raised the issue yesterday, but for some reason it was ignored! BT and BG must have far more people with a vested interest than UW, so why didn't BG come out on top of the which survey?


    The great 3 pretenders have ignored my question as well. Very telling isn't it Janinenew?

    I must admit Carmine my heads spinning now from your post. It was just going round and round in circles. Reminds me of that song 'Circles of my mind'. Am I that old?:rotfl:

    It's not really that difficult. It's just like me asking Quentin if he was happy. I genuinely wanted to know but all I got was another reposte. At least PlushChris answered and I'm really happy he is happy. We might not agree over the UW but what the heck. It doesn't matter in the end. We are all different with different needs. Trouble is though the 3 pretenders won't accept that. Their view (and only their view) is the right one. Well actually I think it is only Cardew with that view really. Quentin has his own agenda and Jimexbox as I've said before just goes with the flow. But I don't believe he is truly anti UW. I think the fact that he won't give his proper figures might just prove that he is wrong so he won't take the chance of embarrassing himself. But he started it if I remember.

    I wonder whether this thread will ever stop going round in circles. Carmine's last post summed it up completely.
