    Possible £35 cashback on offer for a dual fuel switch going to the source, Energylinx via quidco Or £16 for a single fuel switch.
    Good luck with trying to get any cashback out of Quidco !  For months they kept assuring me I'd get my cashback from National Tyres and Autocare even though the retailer had rejected it.  Eventually Quidco rejected it, and I vowed never to use them again.  Caveat Emptor !

    Lol.  Is that the really best you could come up with?

    Personally I've never had any issue with Quidco, but if it's not for you, there are other cashback sites available as described by MSE.
    e.g. Topcashback - they don't offer quite as much for a dual fuel, but the same for a single fuel switch.

    But remember, cashback is never guaranteed until it lands in your bank account. But I don't see as that any reason not to try. If you opt to use a site that does not offer cashback, you will be guaranteed not to receive it; they'll just keep all the comission for themselves.

    If it's a competitive energy deal it won't have cashback.

    I'm just leaving Ebico for a cheaper deal with Eon. The bank statement alway shows Robin Hood energy, but I believe while they offer tariffs under both brands they are esstenially the same. I general while I've had no issues or problems to have dealt with Ebico seem a decent company to deal with and everything on the website and bills I find simple to use.
    I'd prefer to stay with them for conveinance and certaintly not looking forward to dealing with Eon, but I'm going for the money. Happy to return to Ebico in the future.

    I just left Robin Hood as it was like 20p per kWh during the day and for a 1 bed flat I was paying like £120 per month during the winter so moved to Yorkshire energy which is half the price
