Switch your gas/electric supplier - get fixed price to March 2011 + £75 Quidco

255°

FOUND BY: Newbold 5 days, 2 hours ago

Full details below. Further gas and electricity price increases have been forecast for later this year, with more to come. As oil prices rise, gas and electricity tend to follow the rises. Fix your supply price for just short of 3 years, and get £75 on top for going through Quidco.

If prices fall, you can leave this deal whenever you want and move to another supplier - there's no tie in.

This tariff is tipped to disappear soon - you may need to act quickly.

Remember to go through Quidco for the £75 bonus - mine tracked same day.

NO PRICE RISES UNTIL MARCH 2011*

Sign up to our Fixed Price Energy Offer and look forward with added confidence to the security of fixed prices until 28th February 2011.

* The cost for your energy will not change, however, your energy bill may vary depending on how much energy you use.

* Manage your account online and you'll also receive one of the following annual discounts: Gas and Electricity customers - £15.75 (inc. VAT) Electricity customers - £10.50 (inc. VAT)

*ScottishPowers Fixed Price Energy prices are guaranteed until 28th February 2011. These prices are higher than our current monthly Direct Debit prices effective 2nd February 2008 by an equivalent of £1.50 (inc. VAT) for gas and £1.50 (inc. VAT) for electricity per month. Prices correct as at 2nd February 2008. Figures shown are inclusive of VAT at the applicable rate of 5%

Ever heard of killing the goose that laid the golden eggs? Publicise this widely and the cash back will be pulled or the suppliers will start insisting on contract lock-ins. Best kept quiet.

I'm not a lawyer but don't think they can tie you in on these utilities?

I switched to these guys last year and got £60 quidco. All went really smoothly.

Also swapped home insurance to Lloyds and got £120 quidco and the renewal was cheaper than my previous!

Be nice wouldn't it but unfortunately earlier this year the suppliers lobbied the regulator saying that long term contracts would give them the incentive to encourage consumers to reduce consumption (playing the green card) and the regulator just bent over and took it up the a**e

So look forward to mobile phone style contracts with complicated hard to compare tariffs and new customer only deals :(

So is this a tie-in deal ? Or can you leave it after say 12 months if prices elsewhere fall?

Unusually, perhaps, there is no tie-in to this deal. You can ditch it whenever you choose to.

Are the tied into this deal for the duration for the duration of the cap?

I had a mortgage a few years ago that had a cap which was fine to protect against the likes of the 15% base rate set by Normal Lamont - but when the rates fell - the bank seemed rather unwilling to lower their rate to the prevailing market rate at the time as it had a four year tie-in.

Don't do this!
If Scottish power DO raise their prices, you can LEAVE and ONLY pay the OLDER prices anyway!
That's what happened to us and that's what we're doing.

They send you a bill calculated at the new prices, you phone them up and tell them you're leaving and you only want to pay the OLD prices. They send you out a new bill calculated at the LOWER rate and that's all you pay!
You can then switch to whatever supplier has the cheapest prices (currently British gas of all people, in my area anyway) and if they raise their prices, just rince and repeat!
This saved us a LOT of cash this quarter and will save us even more next quarter.
