    This was changed last year - it is no longer limited in this way.
    Hello Dan. I wonder if you can explain the following?
    I switched to the MSE EON offer and started on that tariff on 5/11/2014.
    1. Why is it that when I try to compare with the MSE Sainsbury offer does it use my tariff previous to the MSE EON switch and tells me that I have a switch in progress?
    2. Why have I never been paid the £30 switching bonus?
  • Hi, I am currently in the middle of switching to the Sainsburys Energy Fix Jan 2016 but the energy club fix will save me an extra £100pa. I like to pay by variable DD and the Sainsburys Feb 2016 deal only appears to be available for monthly direct debit. I'm still within the 14 day cool off period so could cancel and switch to the collective deal. Is it likely that Sainsburys will let me change my payment method later?

    I'm in a similarish situation - I've just switched to the Sainsburys December 2015 Fix but now could save a lot on the new Sainsburys February 2016 deal. Would this be possible to change via the Energy Club or do I need to contact Sainsburys energy directly?

    Sainsburys not showing as cheapest on my comparison, sainsburys switch will save £82 whereas first utility i will save £129....... currently i am on Edf Blue fix march 2016.
    They're not the cheapest for me either. I've done the comparison using last year's exact usage and it's telling me the cheapest is E.ON Fixed 1 Year v15 Online (£673), whereas the Sainsburys deal is coming out at £693.

    Possibly down to the "regional variations" mentioned in the email - but it'd be good if they could share a bit more info on how this works.

    A few tariffs are now coming up which show savings for me (£20-£70pa) from the EON switch I completed early December - but all of them have much higher penalties for switching early (£50-£60) than EON's £5 per fuel, so as per earlier posts I'm keeping my powder dry for a little longer:)

    You can switch from one Sainsbury's tariff to another through Cheap Energy Club.

    Hope this helps!

    We can normally pick this up from your email address, but including your postcode would also help.
  • Hi Guys.
    Energy club is also saying I could save £75 a year with the Sainsburys deal . I swapped to E on on the first MSE collective switch but taking in account £30 cash back - £10 cancellation fee so that's + £20 plus £6 a month saving I am defiantly going for it. :)
