    They do claim to be unique on the front page of their website and I think your posts are veiled advertising for them.

    Oh please!

    This is supposed to be a money saving site and I have absolutely no connection with Simply Switch, I originally gave uSwitch as an example in my post but found that more cashback was available via Simply Switch for the OP.

    Please post a screen dump showing where "unique service" is shown on the homepage of https://www.simplyswitch.com/

    I use the site giving me the best available tariff and the highest cashback at the time when I switch.

    You are still missing the point though, you would make a good politician!

    Indeed you are right about a cheaper deal, but as you say later, it is only available through a comparison site. I have a feeling that using the comparison site to swap over a supplier's existing customer's account could bring problems. Between the two offers there's ~£75 annual difference.

    Just to confirm that using a comparison site to switch to a different tariff with your current supplier causes no problems. Did this recently to get an exclusive switching site tariff and the new tariff showed on my on-line account after a day and the cashback tracked immediately.

    Go for it and get the bonus of cashback.

    I switched with Simply Switch about ten years ago as they promised cashback. It never arrived however.

    Having read so often of cashback failures, I leave them out of my considerations, and treat them as an unexpected fortune should they reach me.

    I tried, but as the move is to the same supplier cashback is not available, which seems logical to me. However, I did decide with my forward calculations, that a change to the special comparison site offer was a yes.
