M&S Energy

grabagrannie

I was in M&S yesterday and there was a chap selling their energy product. It all sounded quite a good deal. He mentioned Martin Lewis at the start of his spiel. I couldn't tell you exactly what he said, but he certainly gave the impression that M&S Energy was recommended by ML and/or MSE. I have looked on here and found no recommendation. The deal seems good, with vouchers as an added incentive. But I don't trust it if the salesman is telling fibs. Any opinions/experiences?

Please report to the MSE powers that be and preferably also e-mail M&S themselves.

M&S Energy is simply a branding exercise-it's supplied and run by SSE.
How do you know the tariff was 'good' if you haven't compared it to the rest of the market?
And, even if it were any good, why buy from a salesman on commission, when you can buy from a comp site and keep the commission for yourself?

Aye, but this isn't just energy - it's M&S Energy

But this could change soon, 8 billion is a lot of money

I remember the days when you had to cut the M&S labels out of your pants before you could travel to the Middle East...now they're maybe buying it.
