    you can get £130 off this tariff by using code SVTJUN22OFFER so that should  compensate for the difference from the SVT for july/aug/sept
    If you are only a gas user with EDF then it makes the 30 June 2024 fix a little more tempting as the £130 credit offer negates the £150 early exit fee if things do change for the better next year.
    Didn't work for me as a gas only customer (ex Zog). I was told that it only applied to dual fuel customers ??
    Well it worked for me and like you I am also a gas only customer (ex Zog). The credit + vat (£136.50) was applied to my account overnight.

    How long did you wait to get the credit in your account from changing to that tariff please?

    I have changed to the new tariff 2 days ago and no credit yet and i have read on here and 2 other sites that the code doeasn't work.

    I got accepted and they said it could take upto 60 days for the credit.

    According to the emails I received, I applied for the Fix Total Service Jun24v6 tariff @ 10:42 on Wednesday 29 June and the credit was showing on my account when I checked this morning so it must have been applied overnight.

    So I'm with EDF with gas only, I have worked out my usage I am using around 100kwh per month in the summer, I only have gas boiler combi, I pay my bill every month non direct debit I have more control and it's marginally more expensive per unit. Last months bill at 7.7p a unit plus the dreaded daily charge was £15.95.  78 kWh used. I took the decision to fix and use the offer code. It works out roughly a 55% increase on my unit rate but my daily charge drops to 27p from 32p. My unit is now 11.9p and the credit was added the very next day. They put £136.50 into my account so very pleased with that 👍. I think certainly for the next twelve months the two year fix is worth doing and if I leave after that the £150 exit in effect costs me £13.50p. most importantly I can now sort my financial situation to heat my home in the winter knowing what I have to pay.

    I have checked my account today and the £136 credit is in my account so my code was accepted ok.
