€120 cash back for Bord Gáis customers

Linky: https://www.onebigswitch.ie/

This is what the OP is getting at:
You get €120 cashback.
In addition, you get 4000 Tesco clubcard points if you agree to a two-year contact. These are worth €40 in Tesco, but instead could be used to take €80 off your Bord Gais bill - Tesco allow you to buy vouchers for Bord Gais that are worth twice what you would get off your groceries in Tesco.

So you could get €120+80. If you break the two-year contract (as you probably will want to in a year, for a better deal), you have to pay €50, but the OP is saying you'd still be €30 better off from the clubcard voucher.

I just went with the one-year contract, where you get €120 and 1000 clubcard points, worth €20 off my bill (eventually) but if the OP is correct I would have been a tenner better off going for the two-year deal and breaking it when I got a better offer...

It is worth noting that you have to sign up for a fixed payment each month; if you use clubcard vouchers to take money off, I believe they are used to credit your account after the level payment is reassessed - so 12 months after you join.

I think you can't see it until you register with them on the website.
That was the whole point really - before the deal was finalised, they were able to say "X thousand people are interested in a group deal" to the energy companies.

I'm already with BG Rewards so I assume I don't qualify for the bonus club card points. 😡

I'm already with Board Gais, I'm with Tesco mobile, can i still get this offer?

I was previously registered with BG Rewards, but changed supplier for a year, and it re-registered me and gave me the new Tesco points. I can still see the details of me adding Tesco vouchers etc. in my BG Rewards account from the time I was with them, although I wasn't able to access that account when I wasn't getting my energy from BG, if that all makes sense.

I can't guarantee that current BG customers will get the 1000/4000 Tesco points. But I can confirm that *prior* customers of BG certainly do.

Why not ask One Big Switch or BG on Twitter?

How do you get clubcard points?

I have registered and don't see where I put in my club details

The Tesco clubcard details go in to the relevant section in your Bord Gais Rewards account. So the switch has to have been made, BG accepted you, and opened you up a Bord Gais Rewards account which happens after they open your actual BG fuel account. Then you can attach your Tesco clubcard number to your BG Rewards.

I think at this stage BG should be giving me a commission for explaining their system

OK, a few more details for both new and existing customers. Then someone else can answer questions
