British gas switching

Hi

Wonder if anyone has got any ideas. I'm with British Gas on their standard tariff did a comparison using the energy saving club and can switch to Sainsburys energy (essentially staying with BG) and save £130 a year. British Gas offered me fix and reward with no exit fees. Am I right in thinking that I can switch to that tariff get the Amazon gift card then switch to Sainsburys energy with no penalties? I couldn't see a minimum term in the T&Cs

Any opinions would be great!

Which tariff are they offering to switch you to? If they are offering you a deal that involves moving to another fixed term tariff I should imagine that there is an early exit fee

EDIT: Never mind, as pointed out below BG do not seem to have early exit fees at the moment.

None of the four BG tariffs available at the moment carry an exit fee.

Yeah none of the British Gas tariffs have exit fees so I should be ok in claiming the £50 amazon gift card then switching again to actually get a cheaper energy deal right?

Can't see any problem with switching. Although you will probably still be with BG for 4-6 weeks when it is switching over.
