Eon Next Online v11, Fixed 1 Year at Apr 22 Rates

matt1983

I was paying £77 a month with eon on the current price cap rate. 

Today ive signed up to the v12 fix and from April will be paying £183 a month. 

The rates are:

Electric 33.58pkWh and 51.63/day

Gas 8.73pkWh and 27.22/day

I thought i was doing the right thing but im not sure. Does this sound like a “good” deal or would i have been better off on the variable rate?

You would have been better off phoning them and asking them to put you on v11 like others myself included have done today

I was going to do the one year fix, ended up doing the two. Though to be honest, the way things are going, I've no idea if these companies will be able to honour these deals

I agree and think the same, although I think there are very few on this deal (% of customers) and EON are a massive supplier.

So the deal i have is not particularly good? I can still cancel it i think. Not sure how successful id be in getting the v11 from what ive read on here.

The v12 is the next best offered, not a massive amount more if you miss out of securing the v11.

I missed reading the email in full earlier and tried calling E.On this morning. 

It looks like they have pulled the v11 and they were even able to tell me "You are an idiot for not reading the email in full, even though you opened it on Feb 26th at xx:xx & then on Feb 27th at yy:yy" - pretty impressive in terms of their tracking I must say & lesson learnt for discarding it as a "newsletter" at that point. 

My ideal scenario now is to stick to the current tariff that I have (Next Flex) for another 3 weeks and then switch to v12 on a BIG assumption that v12 will still be available then.  This is to save some heating costs (our health mandatorily demands it) for the end of winter.

I'll be checking online every few days to see if v12 is still showing and plan to call E.On should that disappear at any point.

Anyone think it's a bad idea?

If you want V12 from 1st April, you might like to contact E.ON Next again and see if they can switch you now but with a V12 start date in the future. Some people have been successful doing this.

If you think a fixed is suitable for you, I personally wouldn't wait. With a war sending prices stratospheric, any deals are liable to be pulled at anytime.

Call them! I called a few weeks ago and got the V10 offer for electricity and they agreed to start it the 1st April.

My account was updated within minutes and clearly shows the current tariff and the V10 tariff with the agreed dates.
