Switching suppliers

MothballsWallet

OK, I've just done some comparisons for switching gas & electric to a new supplier, and Ebico have come out best of all, but they're not set up to perform switchovers online yet.

Should I start the switch now or wait until Martin's show on Wednesday to get more advice? The saving is huge, something like 125 quid a year according to the uSwitch site. :beer:

You can transfer online, Moth...but get no cashback from Uswitch. Ebico don't do cashback, that is why their prices are so low.
Simple bills too.

Transfer here.............http://www.ebico.co.uk/html/home.php

Cheers for that Ken - I think this will be 1 instance where I forego the cashback to get the bigger savings. I had problems with moving to npower last year, hopefully I won't get problems doing this one...

That's the problem with cashback, like Martin says with Mobile phone contracts - it often blinkers people.

Save the money in the first place by looking for the cheapest, don't let a "lack" of cashback stop you from switching to save money.

I've done the switch now, never mind the cashback - the saving over a year will be more than than the cashback would be anyway, and that's just so much better!

I hope that this switch goes without any problems, unlike my Powergen-npower switch a year ago... That took ages to sort out the electricity one.
