Switching electric provider using quidco and simply switch?

smithysaver

Hi ive jus got a credit meter installed, from a prepayment meter. So hope to save a bit of money. I was going to switch to BG using quidco, which would make me £20 cashback. But while browsing quidco I noticed SimplySwitch on quidco for £15, so if I used simplyswitch through Quidco would I get £15 Quidco and £15 from SimplySwitch making £30? Or would simplyswitch only pay cashback once? anyone tried??

I think you should take a look at Ebico. They do not charge more for a tariff on a prepayment meter and they are unique in that. EBICo was founded in 1998 and is a not-for-profit Company, limited by Guarantee. The Company's aim is to harness the power of ‘the market’ to tackle real issues of social concern. EBICo's guiding principles are a bias towards those on low incomes and stewardship of resources.

EQUIGAS and EQUIPOWER are the only tariffs in Great Britain that offer a fair price to all energy consumers. This is because they offer the same unit rate to everyone, regardless of how much you use or how you pay.

I'm with them and I don't get a Direct Debit discount, which means that you don't pay through the nose on a prepayment meter, and we both pay the same (actually very competitive) rate on gas and electric.

It could turn out cheaper than making a quick buck through Quidco.

I've already changed to a credit meter now. After reading up on it, I assumed it would be a cheaper option than being on a prepayment meter. On simply switch I was qouted a £120 saving a year if I switch from EDF Prepayment to Click Energy 2 tarrif with BG. So I went ahead and got a credit meter installed. Im only asking the question on switching through quidco to get maxmium cashback. lol

The £30 should work in theory, so long as both transactions are tracked. Only way if no one replies with proof, is to suck and see.

I have £20 validated for BG internal swich via quidco, when perhaps it should only have been £5, not yet paid tho.

I decided to switch to BG through quidco for £20 cashback as I didnt want to chance it.
