2% cashback on Energy bills

The MSE Cheap Energy Club is a useful tool. However I don't think it takes account of the 2% cashback on DD payments with bank accounts like Santander 123, or NatWest rewards. This cash back is significant, but is not available with DD payments to some of the smaller energy suppliers. Maybe the Cheap Energy Club should include this information?

    The cashback you mention is a benefit of the bank account, not the energy supplier. Some of the smaller labels fall under a wider label which would be eligible for cashback under these schemes.

    In any event the cashback accounts are not suitable for everybody.

    I recently moved to Orbit Energy which offers a monthly credit card pay option.
    Hence collecting Avios points on my Amex each month, another way of getting a little extra out of your energy spend

    The tool can't do everything.


    When going with smaller companies you need to check they are on the S123 list yourself.


    Also note nowtv boardband don't do DD payments, only card payments, so no 3% on that
