I decided to ring up to find out more about the deal.

The extra clubcard points are only for those in a position to avail of the electricity and gas package. If you just want elec then you're out of luck!

You have to pay by "level pay" , that is pay the same amount every month. They'll determine the amount by dividing your previous yearly bill in 12 to arrive at a monthly average.

Unit price inc vat and the 10% discount will be 16.48 c + you get 100 euro on One Big Switch.

Electric Ireland are offer 16c unit price + 30 euro cashback seperately from their own site.

I suppose you need to know how much elec you use to work out which is better for you

One big switch are offering €120 cash back

I've only had an elec account for 7 months, how would they work out my level pay?

Its 120 if you have gas and elec, only 100 if you have electricity only.

according to Bonkers whilst this is a good deal, the dual saver from electric Ireland is better

What the €120 cash stands for? Do you have to have a bill for at least €120 in one go to be applied or you can spread that amount between different bills? My usage is well below average about 1800 kW electricity and 4200 kW gas.

This **** is headwrecking, time to do the euromillions.

Thanks for the reminder. Just signed up for electric only and €100 cashback

I was looking at the electricity only option as well but I couldn't see any difference between signing up directly or one big switch. Did I miss something?

Do I get these tesco points in the next clubcard mailer?

They have not turned up on my clubcard account yet

I am getting the points for Gas but no additional €40 yet

It won't show as €40, rather as points, until the sending out of the next lot of clubcard vouchers.

Have you attached your electricity account (signed up to via One Big Deal, for 24 months) to your Bord Gais rewards account? So you are seeing both accounts in the BG Rewards as in the screenshot?

I presume that is needed to trigger adding the 4000 points to your registered Tesco clubcard. As I said, once I did that, 1000 points were added to mine, when I went into my Tesco clubcard account to check.

Quick question I'm already wit bordgais electricity only and av my clubcard already registered... I signed up for this wit the level pay 100 cashback and 10% Off... Should I be gettin the points because I can't see them...
