    Tesco like Sainsburys give you something for nothing which is fab, but c'mon buying a couple more bagels to reach that ilusive points milestone won't jeopardise the enviroment will it?

    They also sell petrol... maybe I'll drive to Bristol via Liverpool to get some extra points.
  • I'm currently switching away from Powergen to npower as their customer service has been a joke. We have been overpaying the account for years and they refuse to reduce our monthly payments. Last year we overpayed by £300, which they eventually refunded to us. Days later we got a letter saying that our payment was too low to cover our usage and so it was going to increase from £54 to £120.... On querying this they agreed to "reduce" it to £66 but absolutely refused to go any lower. This year we have just received a repayment of £450... If you like your money to earn you interest rather than them I wouldn't recommend powergen...

    But reading this thread, I haven't checked whether the clubcard points were awarded on the overpayments, maybe there is a positive to this after all!!!

    If you want a real joke, go to Scottish Power! In my expreience, Scottish & Southern Electric and EBICO (who use SSE) are the best for customer service.
