British gas £200 incentive

nitnat431

I listend to what Martin Lewis said, and a couple of week ago went on U Switch and chose the Scottish power fixed march 2014. Not a huge saving at the moment but over time, should save quite a bit of money as missed price increases.
Anyway to make me laugh, British Gas phoned me today, and don't want me to go so offered me £100 cedit on Gas straight away then another £100 credit in 3 month!!??
I thought this strange, so asked if they could afford to credit customers that much, why not just keep prices same and don't lose them in first place.
I also suggested that if they kept the prices I am paying now for 12month i would stay, but noooooooo, they can't do that.
so do they want to keep customers or not....make me laugh :rotfl:

Accept their kind offer, take the immediate £100 and still switch :beer:

Thats what I was thinking, but knowing my luck, once i got it, then go to switch again, the offer from Scottish power will have gone lol

What deal exactly was this Nitnat? I just called to see what they will offer me as a switch to FirstUtility on their fixed 2014 plan will save me in the order of £350 a year, and they have offered me £100 in 12 months if I am still with them.
