This isn't designed to be a one off comparison site - there's already plenty of those available.

This is supposed to be an ongoing monitoring system that will advise you should a lower (as per your desired level) supplier/tariff ever become available.

Looks like there is no cheaper tariff than the one I'm on now. Good to know

With suppliers changing prices a lot I can see it giving out a lot of false change nows, as suppliers dont all update at the same time. Also whos the independant verifications done by if any.

If the site can give £30, what kickback is it getting?

You can get a good idea of the commission some suppliers pay by looking at cashback sites such as topcashback that claims to offer 100% (or even 101%) cashback ... but is that even really all the money they receive. If so, how on earth do they survive?

Anyway, what does it matter?

£30 cashback is £30 more than if you go direct. :beer:

Doesn't work for me...

Tells me I can save £1916 with nPower on my annual British Gas dual-fuel bill of £1800! - also doesn't have BG's Fix and Fall tarifs stored for selection...

Mmmmm, I think I see why moneysupermarket.com bought the site. No doubt this will be the first of many ways MSE users will be channelled into moneysupermarket.

I guess it was to be expected - no idea if its a good or bad service but is what I thought would start to happen.

Just joined the energy club and it found me an annual saving of £47....did 3 price comparison sites yesterday (uswitch, compare the market and moneysuper market) and they thew out savings of £249!! With Co-op and Swalec and First Utilities as my best options. This new club that promised to find me the best deal only stumped up a 47 quid saving and had me staying with the extortionate British Gas! What's up with that!!
