    Hi jrsga, I can confirm the info you've received from MSE is correct and although a marker will be left on your credit file to show a check's been completed, it will not show as a full search. Cheers, Matt

    Hi Matt,

    Thanks for the offer however I'm pleased to say the issue has now been resolved and cheap energy club should be paying the cash back from my first switch in the next few days

    Hi davethorp, great to hear it's been sorted and you know where to find me if you need any help. Cheers, Matt

    thanks MSE, Scottish Power could come no where near to the BG deal. I switch regularly and STILL managed to save £150 per year. I now have my joint gas and electric down to £60 per month for a three bed 1930's semi detached. I don't recall a time since i have owned a house that it has been cheaper. happy bunny

    Hi nic_santorini, I'm glad to hear you've made the switch to us and with saving like that, no wonder you're a happy bunny. Cheers, Matt

    Oops, i was just helping a relative switch and realised in the account numbers box during the switch when I did mine I entered the meter numbers, not my customer account numbers, is that going to cause a problem can anyone at MSE advise?

    Hi b33r, I'm confident we can sort out any hiccups that might cause & if you'd like me to look into this, please pop your details on an email to talktous@britishgas.co.uk, including your MSE username & MSE Forums in the subject heading. Cheers, Matt

    Hi hopefully it will go through with no issues...

    I am already with sainsburys energy, which I understand is BG anyway ?....would prefer the 30 pounds cash back to be a credit on my account, but it's not a issue if it's paid into my bank account.

    Hi dazzaofdagenham, sorry but it wouldn't be added to your energy account. Your cashback is paid through MSE and will go straight into your bank account. Thanks, Matt

    My switch onto the new collective switch went a lot smoother this time. The tariff has updated today on both my gas and electric

    When will I receive my £30 cashback?
  • @YKay

    Sometime up to 3 months after the switch happens.
