I really hope it's only a temporary website glitch.... I'm wanting to sign up as well.

Cheap energy fixes: TWO down, last one closes by FRI
If you've not listened to our nagging yet, do it TODAY. Beat hikes, save £250+. Last chance to bag a doozy
As we predicted last week, two of the three super-cheap fixes have been pulled. With Big 6 energy firm SSE hiking prices 9% in Oct, and others likely to follow, this is the last chance to lock in a super-cheap pre-rise price.

• Urgent: Cheap fix until 31 Dec '13. A fix guarantees no price hikes for a set time. Normally fixing costs more, but currently the market's cheapest tariff is Scottish Power's* fix, so most can lock in and save. Better still, it has no exit penalties, so if a cheaper deal launches, you're free to switch. It'll close to newbies by Fri at the latest.
  Closed to new customers Friday 14 Sept.
• How cheap is it? A typical home on a standard tariff pays £1,310/yr (pre-hikes) but this deal averages at £1,050 for the same. After it closes, the next cheapest fix is £40 more and has exit fees.
• You can't compare it. This Scottish Power tariff's been replaced on comparisons with a costlier (£1,099 on use above) but 2mth longer fix. So the best you can do is take 4% off that for a rough price – worth checking especially if you’re on an old best-buy as some may not save. If you choose a different fix (variables are likely to rise) & switch via these links you get cashback after 3mths. Top comparison: £15/switch Energyhelpline*. Dual fuel: £30 cash via MoneySup* & a crate of wine at uSwitch*. Full info: Cheap Gas & Electricity

I signed up for the deal last night through moneysupermarket and didn't have a problem. I hope it hasn't been pulled... not until they get my application anyways!

I signed up through Topcashback and it tracked within hours.

I have £42.42 due around the end of the year, preferred to use Topcashback rather than a comparison site as it pays out more and getting the money as Amazon credit is handy for me.

thanks for the replies...
tried again today and switched no problems (so far!) via quidco as they offered £42 cashback via scottish power direct.

Here's hoping for a smooth move!
