How does the MSE energy club work out what's best for you? How accurate is it?

Citizen site just as bad I could save over £140 by paying £40 more a year

Citizens Advice shows all suppliers, most of the others hide those that don't pay commission or don't list them at all.  Blame Ofgem for the stupid comparison rules.

To be fair - both CEC and Which agree that I'm on the cheapest tariff and it would make no sense to switch,,...even switching to individual providers (over dual fuel) would cost me £10 p.a.  I'll stick with Avro in the meantime.

Always use up the £50 available in the referrers thread, if applicable. Better than getting a few quid off over a year

Not if the chosen tariff costs you £51 or more extra per year. 

Most have no leaving fee, so you just leave after you get your £50, then on to the next £50. Who really trusts energy club anyway.

I now no longer trust CEC to find the cheapest tariff. Utility Point's best gas tariff is slightly cheaper than the "cheapest" suggested by CEC, and Symbio's best electricity tariff is way better than the "cheapest" suggested by CEC. (Yes, I am inputting the same kWh amounts into both CEC and supplier websites.)

Is there a spot on the CA website that indicates the need to have a smart meter?

It's all there if you take a look.  Click on 'Next steps' then 'Additional information'.

I did this and see no mention of the smart meter.

I went looking for British Gas since I knew these were trying to push you towards a smart meter on the MSE-Energy Club.

Have i missed it? Do you see it?
