Hi,
If I switch between tariffs with British Gas using the Cheap Energy Club, will a credit search be performed on me?
Also, will I still be eligible for the £20 cashback?

Thanks,

    There should be no need for a credit search or cashback if you are not switching between different suppliers.

    If you click the green 'Switch and get cashback; box and scroll down, you get this,
    Additional information

    This information is required by your provider to complete your switch

    As part of your application, British Gas will carry out a credit check to ensure that the most appropriate tariff and payment method is available to you. This will involve sharing information with credit reference agencies and will leave a record on your credit file. As part of this process, British Gas may need to offer you secured payment terms, such as Monthly Direct Debit and/or payment of a Security Deposit. British Gas will contact you separately in the event this is required. Click to view the full terms and conditions
