On 27th March 2025 I used TCB to select a new tariff to start 1st May, the £50 cashback appeared in my account within minutes and was paid out on 2 July.

The tariff was one of their "no exit fees" versions and the requirement for the deal was to remain on it for 3 months.

As that was just up, had a look at TCB and found EDF were now offering £60 to switch tariff, no "no exit fees" left but still one that was cheaper than the one I've been on for 3 months.

Took a punt for the next 13 months and the £60 appeared in my TCB account exactly 10 minutes after the confirmation email.

Deal is available to new and existing customers.

    I've had to put in a missing cashback claim for my switch to EDF from Octopus via TCB - Nothing showed after I switched in mid May. Not the first time I've had problems with TCB !!

    I remember you mentioning this. I'm just Gas with EDF but did the same, switching to one of their no exit fee tariffs in April, and the £25 has been confirmed in my account. I keep checking, but no subsequent tariffs have been cheaper since then, even after the £30 they're now offering.

    Sorry I'm confused by the comment 'appeared in my account 10 minutes after'. I assume you mean shows as tracked.

    Cheers
