Hi All,
Just went to sort out as gas/electric deal ends at end of March. We are currently wth Scottish Power and we pay £131/month
Did the the comparisons MSE Energy club etc.
Based on our usage the cheapest deal was around £157 to fix for a year or a lot more for longer.
Couldn't decide so had another hunt and tried uswitch - they came up with a fixed deal for a year for £130/month - for Scottish Power!
So I rang Sottish Power and asked why they weren't giving us this deal as existing customers and the lovely helpful rep told me that it was an online thing and was really aimed at new customers but was open to anyone...
So I went back online - went to Quidco and yes, not only is there £30 cash back through uswitch but also this weekend there is an extra £20 bonus for switching - you've just got to activate it.
So overall we have got a deal a pound a month cheaper than the (good) one we were currently on - plus £50 cash back.
Can't believe it really but have got the confirmation email - chuffed to bits!!
Hope this helps someone!! :-)

Laughing at our own mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else’s can shorten it.
