    I'm with Edf and I got a letter yesterday saying my direct debit is being reduced to £59 for dual fuel. Not complaining

    I'm with Npower and I've had a few little issues with them, most notably the fluctuation in the bills. They put it up from £72 to £108, then in six months time they'll put it down to a ridiculously low level meaning they have to put it up ridiculously high again. They don't seem to get the balance right. I could ring them but I can't be bothered. Anyway, I noticed E.ON had a £120 dual fuel cashback offer on through Quidco yesterday so I ordered with them. It will take about a month to go through, but I end up with an estimated cheaper bill, saving about £30 per month (at least initially) on DD, and £120 for changing.

    So THEY give YOU £120 for moving to THEM? There must be a catch.

    Have a look at http://www.quidco.com - again, I'm happy to refer you if you PM me your preferred EMail address.

    Lots of companies use companies like quidco get your business (admittedly not offering that amount) but it's commonly quite high in communication, insurance etc. Even Play.com give me a small percent off every time I shop with them. This money gets added up and I get cash back every time it add up to £100. For me, just buying things I'd buy anyway, it usually takes between 6 months and year to earn this back.

    Take Plusnet as an example - You can get £38 back for signing up through Quidco. No con. I have no reason to believe it's different with E.on.


    "Cashback deals — Retailers pay us a commission to generate sales for them and we pay this straight into your bank account. Whether it’s a fixed cash sum or a percentage of the purchase price we aim to credit your account as quickly as possible."

    Let me know if you want more details.

    I don't like changing and messing around every few months, and I'd like to be loyal to one company. But, if they are going to screw existing customers and pay large amounts to new customers whilst keeping monthly subscriptions at a similar level, I'm with Dyson and I'll change. When these companies become loyal to me, I'll be loyal back.

    Are you not tied in for a period each time you switch?

    I used to use Quidco but prefer TopCashback now instead. Quidco charge a yearly £5 fee (only payable if you earn this amount though - otherwise you pay nowt) but TopCashback don't charge anything.

    I've had hundreds off them in the past for utilities / insurance / mobiles etc - no catch. The only thing they say though is not to rely on the cashback making your deal cheaper than elsewhere, as the money isn't guaranteed, but usually if you fulfil the very simple criteria then you don't fail.

    Sound smuch more complicated than it actually is - it's only usually a couple of mouse clicks extra when yaget used to it.

    Cranking one of every hour should keep you warm all winter. Do they have W**king allowance?
