Energy club prices/cash back

Hi!
I have done a comparison on the energy club as my current fix ends soon, I have checked against the tariff they will move me to once the fix ends as the fix is obviously cheaper than anything currently available.
The top few are all within £50 of each other over a year, but one offers £90 cash back as opposed to the others' £30.
My question is: do the calculated 'savings' factor in the cash back or are they straight price comparisons? In other words, if I take the £90 cash back is that ANOTHER £90 saving?!
Hope that makes sense! I'm struggling to put it into words.
Thank you in advance for any help.
Regards, Liz x

    The cashback is not included in savings. So if a particular deal says it'll save you £100 per year, and offers £30 cashback, then you'll save £130 in the first year (assuming your usage doesn't change).
  • Thanks, that great :)
