Yes you are!!! your advice is not to believe people who are have arguements for not using UW despite being very very expensive.

Sorry, can't take advice from anyone I can't establish as trustworthy. Best of luck to anyone who tries based on the posts here. I thought this site was the place to look, but you're all loaded. The advice given can't be established as independent, so I'll not believe any of it.

Then why not do your own research?

Look at any comparison website or 'manually' compare tariffs.

If you post your area of UK, and consumption for gas and electricity in kWh, we will gladly tell you how much more UW will charge.

After all isn't that the advice you seek. The reason you looked up UW on Google?;)

P.S.
How do you "establish" advice is independent? Presumably you feel every comparison website is biased against UW?

I didn't actually mention gas and electricity.

You get trustworthy people to give unbiased advice. If integrity can't be established, then I downgrade them as virtually worthless opinions to me.

Best not talk to any UW salesmen then.

However you post on the gas and electricity forum!

Please, please tell us how you establish, to your satisfaction, which people on an internet forum are 'trustworthy'.

P.S.
When you have done your research, please let us know the results!!

Is there any other area on here where Utility Warehouse is discussed, outside of the Gas and Electricty section which it appears in? No, we are apparently forced here, onto this single thread, whether gas and electric are of interest or not. How do you know I haven't already discounted UW for supply of energy? You don't. Why should I tell you everything if I don't trust you? Your assumptions are wrong, so don't try that one with me. I've tried to satisfy myself that you are unbiased, I haven't succeeded. Your advice will therefore be ignored.

I have simply stated facts about UW pricing and the only advice I have given is for you to check those facts!

Indeed I don't blame you for ignoring that advice! It would be a waste of time because you already know that the facts I have given are correct.

Like all UW salesmen, your aim is to discredit anyone who posts facts that show the truth about UW's high prices.

Why should I tell you everything if I don't trust you

Not even if it is just our little secret? That quote must rank as one of the most banal on this thread - worthy of Keggs.

Conversation already over Cardew. You can't offer anything further, so why make an !!!! of yourself?

How many of the other suppliers prices have "risen past the cost of Utility Warehouse"??

Can you give examples?

Haven't got a clue and I do not care. Previously in this thread I was challenged to show my own figures against the "best deal" of the moment. I did and I pay less to Utility Warehouse for my electricity and gas than those quoted as being "the cheapest."

That is my point. I have chosen a way to save money that suits me and the way I have always shopped. I am content to have found something that suits my purposes. I do not want to keep swapping suppliers around every now and again. I am sure that many other people in similar circumstances to me will feel the same.

You really are clutching at straws - mind you as a UW salesmen I can understand you might want to confuse.

This is what I posted!
The customer with the average UK consumption in my area(Midlands) will spend £305pa more for their gas and electricity with UW - a massive 34% extra.

To just break even with the cashcard and get back that £305 they would have to spend £6,100 pa in the shops that accept the card.

If you take the real costs of buying the cashcard, paying to top it up, loss of interest on the money and of course a small discount from using a cashback credit card, they would need to spend in the region of £8,000.

Just to make that perfectly clear - they will have to spend £8,000 more in selected shops just to cancel out the extra UW charge for gas and electricity.

So that's one then. OTOH, if that "average person" wanted to spend that amount, perhaps (s)he would be happy. What business is that of yours? You still refuse to accept personal choice and I find that quite disturbing. I also find it disturbing that you feel completely free to ask questions and not answer a simple one I asked you.

I am sure that there are many people who will not benefit by being Utility Warehouse customers and I appreciate that they have freedom of choice. You continually give advice to others yet may not in fact take that same advice yourself. I on the other hand am willing to ask people to make their own decisions and admit that my way may not be for them.
