So I received the email from MSE about the blagged 12 month deal with British Gas - v63 Fixed, applications for which end today (1st May). MSE state you get £20 cashback for a dual-fuel switch.

However I just logged into Quidco and used their own energy comparison. Quidco are offering the exact same v63 tariff, but with £40 cashback. I entered Kwh usage for MSE & Quidco, and the price results were the same for both.

What gives?

    MSE make money on energy switches via CEC, TSB pay at least 100% cashback.

    BTW - Possible that Outfox The Market have undercut British Gas.
