    My guess is, this tariff was first offered in April or May last year when a 24-month fix would have run to May 2023.

    Spot on, it was originally offered 30th April 2021.
    Got to love the way BG continue to make this sort of mistake...

    I'm guessing they can just cancel the offer then? Or am I safe once a certain amount of days pass. It won't actually start until 3rd June so I'm not holding out much hope.
    The level of incompetence is high at BG these days, and they do not generally seem inclined to hunt down mistakes once they are live on your account, so if you can see it online as your next tariff then there is a good chance it will stay that way.
    I'd suggest not asking any questions about it that might prompt a manual review, just wait and see at this point.

    Yep, I'm not going to contact them about anything, won't even give them a meter reading until it's live.

    I mean the worst that can happen anyway is they revert me to price cap rate like everybody else. 🤷🏼‍♂️

    I'd have snatched their hands off too.  About half the SC & 2/3 the K rate they offered me in March.
