Loyal Octopus Fixed No Exit Fee Anymore...Worth FIxing

IAMIAM

Just done this and fixed with the presumption of checking regularly and re-fixing as and when prices continue to drop as there is now no exit fee.

Thanks. Decided on 12 month loyal fixed

This did make me laugh

The OP may be risk-averse (as indicated by them wanting a fixed tariff in the first place), so Tracker would not be suitable.
Some people prefer to pay a premium for the security of a 12m fix.

That is potentially terrible advice, without knowing the OP's usage or situation. Just because Tracker has been great for those in the past year or so, those that sign up now are on the less beneficial December formula (I've seen figures of it being ~20% more expensive in some areas) and there is NO guarantee the good rates seen last year will happen going forward.

So, certainly advise people to investigate Tracker, but simply telling them to go onto it is dangerous advice.

I wouldn't call it "dangerous" advice

I mean don't put your fingers in a lovely socket or play golf in a lightning storm (that's dangerous advice)

Tracker you can leave within 2 weeks (potentially immediately that hasn't been tested in anger yet I don't think)

It's lacking in details advice not dangerous imo

"Get on the tracker its much cheaper." is dangerous advice. Not life-threatening dangerous, but financial dangerous. Those that blindly follow such advice are unlikely to monitor usage and won't leave within 2 weeks.

Can we stop with this 'dangerous advice' rubbish. I know drugs are bad for you, i am not going to take them because someone online says they are good for you. People are not stupid. The End.
