I'm struggling to get any reliable information about the tariff, which is frustrating as I am finding it difficult to compare the tariff or work out whether we would be better on E7.

Did you come across this earlier thread in the forum comparing the merits of E7 and E10?

Most of the Quidco one's now have a tie in period, to swap you switching - has anyone else noticed this?

Just switched myself to Eon Save Online Dual Fuel (£62 cashback) and my mum to EDF Energy Online v5 Electricity Only (£30 cashback) with TopCashBack and there are no tie ins of any kind.

I'm having trouble getting the "30 for EDF Energy to track though and TopCashBack are saying they need the Contract Number and not the Account Number. I have checked EDF Energy's confirmation email and the letters they sent my mum in the post and there is no contract number anywhere (only an account number). Why do they insist on having a number they have never even gave the customer? I can only presume this is so as to get out of paying the cashback.:mad:

Double cashback?

I'm about to switch to Alliance and Leicester, and they will give you £100 themselves, and topcashback.co.uk give £40, and then (according to another thread), they give you and the friend who referred you £25 each. So £140, with potential for £25 more if you catch A-L on a good day.

This got me thinking...

Is it possible to combine cashback switching my electricity to EDF energy (in my case) by using topcashback.co.uk (£20) and simplyswitch (£20 amazon voucher), giving £40?

Prolly not, me thinks, as they seem to be two cashback websites. Please can someone comment on this idea.

Checked my Cashbackking account today and EDF have paid £60.00 for a dual switch , took two months, no contract number, just account number on all the paperwork they have sent me.

Hi. I am currently with ScottishPower 'capped for free' tariff and a couple of days ago I did a price check in Energyhelpline and it gave me a cheaper option. It was also from ScottishPower (Online Energy Saver 7). To me it looks like a good deal, but I have a question that maybe someone here can help me with:
If I choose to change using Energyhelpline, would I still get the cashback, since I won't be really changing company but ONLY tariff?

Thanks :rolleyes:

I'm just looking at changing my Scottish Power Online December 09 fix. On all the sites, I'm getting NPower GoFix as the cheapest, but this wanders from about £116-153/year cheaper and EON Fix Online 4 for between £70-104 cheaper.

It seems as though EnergyHelpline gives the lowest diferences, USwitch the highest and MoneySupermarket in the middle.

The NPower one runs on Dec 2010 with no penalty and the EON runs out Feb 2011 with penalty. The NPower seems obviously better with the greater saving, but they seem to have bad reviews and customer ratings on MoneySupermarket (3 out 5) whereas EON has 5.

Does anyone on here have any experience on either of these or could advise please?

Thanks

You shouldn't be getting those kind of price variations if you input your annual consumption in kWh.

yep I was surprised too but it is the case.

I had 2 from Uswitch, one using annual usage and one using annual bill. NPower saving's were £155 and £153 although not sure which way around. EnergyHelpline is £116 for usage.

Please remember to check that your old supplier is not charging you after you have switched companies - I just had to fight to get £1941.26 back from NPower because EON had failed to furnish them with the necessary information to close my account. On top of that NPower would only pay me just under half the money immediately, I am still awaiting the other £1000+ as they can't send out so much money at once. They aren't shy in taking it though.

I am ready to switch again due to this debacle the last time and Scottish Power are offering £110 for a dual fuel switch at the moment. Looking into it now.

Does anyone know how I can find the Kw per hour each company charges for gas and electric?

I suggest checking your readings are not estimated. I cannot stress this enough examine your bills dont just leave the direct debits going each month and assume all is hunky dory.

If the bills look accurate then I think there must be a way for to reduce your usage as £130 is an aweful lot of money to spend on electric/gas especially during august-october time.
