For those of you who want to know more, PM me and I would be happy to let you have the information so that you can do your own true comparisons and decide who you'd like as your energy and telephony supplier. By the way, our Energy and Broadband have recently been voted Best Buy by Which? magazine by miles :j. If you want £100 off your utility bill in 12 months time, you now know where to go for the best deal. Who else offers this, no contracts as well as better rates than the largest suppliers?

The fact that you will not post the name of this great deal and want to do it all by PM so you can employ your hard sale tactics on the respondent says to me that this is a scam.

If there is such a great deal available out there then name the company. But of course you won't as that way you won't get your grubby little agent's commission........:mad:

I'm happy to name the company so you can check for yourselves - Telecom Plus trading as the Utility Warehouse Discount Club. The only thing is, customers can only sign up by going through distributors like myself, and not directly. Sorry if you think it's a scam; if you'd rather pay your hard earned money to large faceless corporations who hike their prices up once you sign up, go ahead.
On the other hand, if you'd prefer to deal with real people who are their own small business owners and so can provide an excellent level of service with some of the best prices around, there are enough of us UWDC distributors out there that you might find one in your area.

So why can't I sign up directly online at their website at www.utilitywarehouse.co.uk then?

So clearly a scam as I suggested and no need to involve a middle man such as yourself?

If you'd rather go direct then please go ahead through the website. You can sign up (as I've double-checked this) should you decide to do so. However, the company doesn't and won't advertise and relies on business owners like us to spread the word. I didn't realise that having one's own utilities business was considered a "scam" nowadays.

Thanks for the advice, I have spoken to EON and decided to go with their online saver ( via topcashback of course!)

I'm just in the last stages of moving to Eon myself (should go live in 2 or 3 weeks) to the same Save Online tariff but as I was on Scottish Power's Energy Online V4 (or something to that effect but definitely V4) the saving is only £40 per annum (I use £370 electricity and £440 gas per annum at Scottish Power prices) but the clincher in deciding to move was the additional £62 cashback from topcashback for moving to Eon on top. I was with Powergen (as Eon were then called) for a couple of years before until three years ago and the service was ok apart from a rather messy forced transfer over to them when Amerada went bust.

I decided to move again (after over two years with Scottish Power) when Scottish Power came out with v5 and v6 of their online dual fuel tariffs and didn't tell me about them but even if I ask them they tell me I have to sign up for a minimum 12 months contract to save another £30 per year. Whereas there is no minimum commitment with Eon. I did get an email yesterday offering me a case of Virgin wine to stay with Scottish Power but I would rather have been offered money (I don't think the case of cheap plonk is worth more than £40 at Virgin's usual discount rates for new customers). So I am still moving as I am at least £50 better off in Year 1 and Scottish Power deserve to lose my business for their horrid cynical game of putting loyal customers on a more expensive tariff than their new customers.:eek::mad:

I hope that all goes well you your transfer to Eon but remember to keep an eye on prices once every 6 or 12 months as you usually have to move on in the end when they supercede the cheap tariff you are on with another one only available to new customers.

Hi All,

I have posted this info under the Scottish Power thread, so I apologise in advance for posting here as well.

I have seen that from 19th September, Topcashback is giving £90 cashback to new dual fuel customers switching to Scottish Power.

I'm just wondering how many customers must have emigrated from SP, for them to have to give so much cash away as an incentive to attract new customers!!

What a crazy game these energy companies play with their customers. Surely it would have been cheaper for Scottish Power to have just gone on maintaining its v4 online tariff at its most competitive prices.:mad:

I have also just moved my mother away from Scottish Power Online v4 to EDF Energy's Online Tariff v5 as she only uses electricity (heating is by heating oil) and they were going to be £160 a year cheaper on her current £650 electricity use. But then EDF Energy have a history of eventually rolling customers off on to a much more expensive tariff and not even telling them that the price has gone up except on their website (but not by email), which their terms and conditions incredibly allow.

Presumably their stupid, greedy and cynical directors think the customers attracted by the large cashbacks are new customers and not simply recycled customers hopping from one energy company to another..........

The Scottish Power cashback of £90, from Topcashback site is a con, click through to Scottish Power and you only get offered £20 pounds off Virgin wines!!

No it is not a con as the £20 off Virgin Wines is something Scottish Power offer to all customers on their website. Whereas the £90 cashback is only paid to people who click thru to https://www.scottishpower.co while logged in to their account on the https://www.topcashback.co.uk website and then sign up with Scottish Powere for their electricity and gas. If you arrive at the https://www.scottishpower.co.uk website by any other means you will not get the cashback. paid to Qudico customers.
