Hubby received the postcard today but we pay by monthly DD and I hadn't realised that electric is cheaper for keypad customes than bill paying customers!!

We got one as well, am wondering why keypad is cheaper, that's unusual

Hi just topped up with budget still 20 digit code may change at any time so would advise doing it sooner rather than later. Sill

Not sure. Airtricity give you 15.38% off the first year and 8% off the second year standard rate.

For keypad - airtricity new prices are going to be:
For the first year 15.27p a unit (current price 12.96)

Budget Energy are current 13.31p a unit so a 14% increase brings them to 15.17p a unit.

So I think they will still be cheaper, and no messing around as they don't have introductory prices.
