List of all available collective switches?

I am surprised I have not come across one.

I often find that I have missed multiple collective switch opportunities. Or at least the opportunity to check the available offer.

I would have thought that this site would/should, within the remit of saving people money, publicise all the other available collective switches out there. But, I see no mention of them other than their own.

Would this site kindly look at producing such an article? It may help others to.....maybe.....save money!

In the mean time? Has anyone else a list of their own?

    That is two down at least.

    I still think that moneysavingexpert should have this list in their energy section permanently updated.

    The problem with a forum list is that it will just drop down the pages after a while.

    If this site still claims to be impartial and independent, they should list all collective switches in my view.

    .

    Why would MSE, which runs its own energy comparison site and collective switches, want to list collective switches run by its competitors. As good as MSE and MSE CEC is, it exists to make money through referral fees. FWIW, I think that MSE is being more than reasonable by allowing posters to highlight its competitors' deals.

    I completely understand that point of view.

    But the site is not solely a comparison site. It is a site that aims to offer impartial money-saving advice and to publicise possible money-saving offers, tips and tricks. If they aim to stay true to their core aims, I still think it is something they should publicise or make available.

    It also lists other comparison sites does it not? In that same regard, they should at least show what other collective switches are available.

    The problem with giving information about collective tariffs is that they are not available to everyone.

    In fact they are only availalle to those that have pre-registered an interest ... and if you have pre-registered, you will be advised by the party involved if & when such applications open (and in most cases they will provide you with a personalised quote at the same time)
