MSE hiding BG's feedback in comparison thread?

  • I've just signed up with British Gas via Martin's big switch and waiting for a reply from British Gas. It seems cheaper than EDF I've been with for the past 3 years, so I'm hoping to make a good saving at least for 1 year then we'll see what it'll be on offer in 2017

    MSE has become a fully-fledged comparison site like all the others in my opinion. To be honest, it makes sense now that it's owned by another comparison site.

    However, the British Gas tariff is a good tariff and will save people a lot of money. You also get cashback. How long till the cashback is scrapped?

    I read the article the other day where it disregarded every other collective deal currently available on the market in order (some cheaper than are cheaper...) to promote it's own big switch, and that is something that a site that claims to be acting in the best interests of the consumer wouldn't do.

    Still you have to remember that the public will save millions due to MSE, so you can't be too harsh on them.

    I have no problem in people saving money or hat MSE make money what I don't like is the underhand tactics to hide the bad feedback of a company they are currently promoting. This basically goes against the promise of money not affecting their editorial......which it clearly is.
