OT? Energy tariff madness

[Andy Burns]

I use tailored email addresses for everything, the energyclub one has only ever received relevant messages from them (progress of switch, notification of cashback, reminders about end of tariff, triggered savings limits) never spam.

If you use them to switch to a new supplier, they need accurate details to pass on, if you're just using them for comparison, give them the address and postcode of the local chippy :-)

Hadn't noticed there wasn't an opt-out, but as you say just push it to a silly high saving.

It is worth noting that as soon as you provide your personal details to these comparison sites they run a credit check on you.

It is called confusion marketing.

So many people are innumerate that they buy the same sized pack every time even when the price for a multibuy of smaller packs is cheaper!

Confusion marketing. Bulk buy to pay more and people fall for it.

Another voluntary tax on the innumerate. Like the National Lottery.

You could complain to Ofgen about that one.
