Why can we not enjoy the Sainsburys Eon 24month Smooth Renew v6 Tariff, which would save me £420 pa

Sainsbury seem to operate an Elite Invitation only Energy Tariff, that seems contrary to offering all Customers a fair deal...Why ?

They do not have to offer promotional tariffs to everyone, in this case they have potentially chosen not to offer it to you. I cannot find any details of that tariff at all though, how do you know it exists and the rates?

It's not by any chance a smart meter only tariff and you are yet to have smart meters fitted, is it? We've come across that as a reason for a tariff not being offered before.

Would it really save you £420 p.a?  I don't see how you can even know if you have not been invited.

It’s a renew tariff so looks like it’s only being offered to those that are currently coming to the end of a fix & want to renew. 

Clue is in the name really, unless you’re coming to the end of a fix imminently, it’s not being offered to you.
