Others (looking for the BG tariff) have reported success by telling MSE CEC that you're with a different "current supplier". It's then given them the tariff they're looking for.

Have you been able to fix your Gas?EssexHebridean said:
It's paying me quite nicely - I averaged under 15p/kWh for electricity last month on octopus!Westertonbilly said:
Yes, you are missing alternatives to Octopus. Had the same tariff and just moved to Outfox. Loyalty doesn't pay.smipsy said:Hi all,
I am due to either renew or switch my tariff. I am currently with Octopus on their Octopus 12M Fixed October 2024 v2 tariff.
I am on a day/night tariff, but have asked for a single-rate option as it seems that I am actually wasting money on the day/night one.
The quote that Octopus have offered to me was under tariff code OE-FIX-12M-25-09-27 with the following rates:
Electricity
25.75 p per kWh
50.20 p per day standing charge
Gas
5.88 p per kWh
33.22 p per day standing charge
However, when looking at all current rates on the Octopus page, I stumbled upon this tariff which wasn't there a couple of days ago:
Money Saving Octopus 10M Fixed September 2025 v1
Description states "Get peace of mind by fixing your rates with this MSE exclusive tariff. This tariff has an exit fee of £25 per fuel."
Electricity
24.88 p per kWh
50.20 p per day standing charge
Gas
5.32 p per kWh
33.22 p per day standing charge
This is cheaper that what I am being offered, but I am unable to find this tariff via the Cheap Energy Club search or anything similar.
Am I missing something blatantly obvious? Thanks in advance
Like you I'm also on Agile for Electricity, but it's not so easy to shift gas usage off peak, what with winter fast approaching!0 -

Update for those who may just want to switch Gas but not Electricity to this tariff (e.g. Me, I'm on Agile Octopus and save a bucket load, no intention to switch leccy).
Called Octopus, they confirmed MSE tariff only available via MSE. The only way to get the gas tariff is to do the full MSE switch, then once completed contact Octopus to switch leccy back to Agile. But you'd incur the £25 exit fee as that's set by the MSE tariff. IMHO the additional saving not worth the hassle plus £25 cost.
I'll stick on Agile for leccy and Tracker for Gas and see how I go!0 -

I considered fixing gas but going to ride it out on tracker. 4.63p for gas today, lowest I've seen for a while.0

A little off topic - I'm thinking of switching to Octopus when my fix with BG expires. Online reviews seem largely positive. Would you recommend them? Thanks.0
