Scottish Power tarriff end.

Was previously Yorkshire Energy and it looks like the Energy Exclusive tariff we were moved to is ending on 1st July! I didn't expect this to be honest, absolutely zero communication from them regarding the tariff and nothing from their previous emails suggest this tariff was doing to end anyway. Anyone else with YE getting this, or did this happen with Tonik customers as well?

    Good time to switch companies. It was due to come, the Energy Exclusive rate was for YE customers and they only had to honour that tariff for 6 months (from 6 December) so actually 1st July is longer than they had to.

    Top tip - Topcashback and Quidco offer cashback on new customer deals so do your research for whom you want to move to, see if a cashback site is offering you cashback to switch to them, if no cashback is available (eg Green) then look on the referrer forum section here and use a member code if available - either way you should be able to get some cashback with most companies you use. Go for a fixed rate deal if available and a good price, after all a variable rate is liable to change often.

    I was switched from YE and my tariff also ends on the 1 July 2021.  I only found out because I logged into my account to check my latest bill.  The new tariff they are offering is £200 more a year so i've started a switch.  I won't miss the constant hounding from Scottish Power to have a smart meter installed :#

    In reply to an earlier post having done a clickout on Green, £22 cashback for single use and £44 cashback for dual use is stated to be  available switching to Green https://www.topcashback.co.uk/topcashback-compare-energy/

    I have switched to Green through the Cheap Energy Club which gives me £25 cashback.  Out of interest I did also check out topcashback and the tariff I picked doesn't show on their site so the extra cashback gets cancelled out by the slightly more expensive tariff they offer.  It's definitely worth comparing the two switching sites though :)

    Reason for me posting TCB energy compare link in relation to Green was to contradict second post on this thread which indicated that cashback for Green was not available via TCB.
    Sometimes comparison sites have a cheaper tariff than others, I have just done both  a MSE CEC comparison/TCB energy compare comparison for my region cheapest Green 1 year fixed tariff is Carrott, same rates via both, Galle 2 year fixed, again rates are identical. ( May have changed since you initiated switch)
