£50 Amazon Certificate from British Gas - any catches?

I'm presently with British Gas for both gas and electricity. I was on Fix and Fall but that expired at the end of November.

I have looked at the Cheap Energy Club on here and it estimates that I could save over £150 by switching to another supplier. However, I've looked to see what the best deal I can get with British Gas is. Their Fix and Reward February 2016 would only save me peanuts over the course of a year but it does offer a £50 Amazon certificate.

I think I must be missing something in the small print as it doesn't say that there is any charge if you move within the period. In which case, what would stop me from switching to them and then switching supplier as soon as I have my £50 certificate?

It does look too good to be true so would appreciate any advice on this.
