Just reading the MSE blog about the £12 electricity rebates - has anyone had this yet?

It says we had one £12 rebate last winter - I don't remember this does anyone else? This winter one is supposed to go through this month - my DD went through as normal, no messages from Scottish power in the meantime

Yes we have

i posted this on the last thread.

Delivering a £12 rebate to domestic electricity customers.

Policy objectives
The Government Electricity Rebate (GER) is a £12 government contribution to help lower the impacts of these Government environmental and social policy costs on consumer energy bills. It is part of a wider package of measures which will reduce household energy bills by an average of around £50 per year in 2014 and 2015.

You will receive the Government Electricity Rebate directly from your electricity supplier shortly as it is rolled out over the autumn.

Eligibility
You will be eligible to receive a Government Electricity Rebate if you have a domestic electricity supply contract with a domestic electricity supplier.

We know that there are some customers who do not pay for their electricity directly to a domestic supplier e.g. those living in park homes, but who would otherwise be considered a domestic customer. If this applies to you, then you may not be eligible as government policies costs are not currently applied in the same way to these and we are not able to directly provide a rebate.

How to claim the rebate
Most households will not need to take any action to receive the rebate. If you pay by Direct Debit or on receipt of a bill (e.g. quarterly) you will see a credit automatically applied on the next bill.

However, if you pay for your electricity through a pre-payment meter, you may need to actively redeem the rebate.

Your supplier should inform you about how you can claim the rebate but it is likely to be one of two methods:

You may be sent a voucher (likely with a barcode) to be redeemed for electricity credit when you next top up at your usual retail outlet. This voucher must be redeemed at a pre-payment vending site within the validity period stated on the GER voucher. You will need to show a valid form ID along with the voucher.
Alternatively, you may receive the rebate automatically as your supplier will have sent an electronic credit which you will pick up when you next top up.
Arrangements for how pre-payment customers receive the GER will depend on suppliers.

What to do if you think you have not received your rebate
The GER will be paid to eligible domestic electricity customers over the course of the autumn from the 11 October 2015.

If you are a pre-payment customer – look out for a letter from your supplier between October and November which should include either a £12 GER voucher or instructions to take your pre-payment key to a pre-payment vending site to collect your £12.

If following this you have still not received your GER, you should get in contact with your electricity supplier.

If you pay for you electricity by cash, cheque or direct debit you will have this applied directly to your account and will be notified of receiving the rebate on your next bill or statement.

If following this you have still not received your GER, you should get in contact with your electricity supplier.

Thanks for this - hopefully Sada will catch up in a few days - allowing for the 10% cheaper it would make Felix cheaper than even bog standard sachets eg in Aldi

I might stock up myself , 20% staff discount this week.

Hi MHOC,
I've had mine.
I have just moved over to Eon via MSE energy switch link and it was there on my first bill that came last week.

The Felix mentioned earlier is going through at 2 for £4.00 although there are no signs up.
No wonder a lot of items don't compare because they are not very good at updating the sels ,( at least in my store ) last week the princes juice sel didn't show the multibuy and I am sure there must be a lot more.
Is there a reason why Asda don't take the prices from Morries website ?
It would be more accurate but maybe I just answered my own question
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

was in Morries today, was going to stock up on some Felix but as the sel said £3 I left it blast should have tried as still have £10 M&M vouchers from glitching wine

I think it was my wife getting excited LOL

9cm now

"baby heart rate up a bit be here buy 9 they reckon"

Ooh, nearly there Hopefully baby's heart rate will behave long enough for that pesky last cm to go and the head to descend a bit. At least then the Drs could give her a hand and she could avoid a section even if they were worried about baby.
