    Phone, BB costs: Annual Inflation+ pricing to be banned?

    I've tried to use that and always end up only marginally less bamboozled than before. The plethora of plans, often with only small differences in cover, seems deliberately designed to obfuscate and confuse the consumer. Bonkers (at least) doesn't list all providers/tariffs on the market so...

    Circle K fuel discounts

    I got the benefit of two a couple of times recently: (a) 4c/L off via my Circle K fuel card plus (b) 5c/L off via the two vouchers that they issued before Xmas when they did a 20c/L discount one day in December. So, 9c/L off altogether for two visits. And my nearest Circle K is consistently the...

    Phone, BB costs: Annual Inflation+ pricing to be banned?

    In general, I agree. But it's not necessarily easy to shop around properly when certain markets involve such a range of slightly different offerings (deliberately designed to bamboozle the customer?) that the consumer struggles to make sense of them and identify the best deal for their needs...

    Nightsaver house + smart meter -> nightsaver tariff eligibility?

    Wouldn't that be liable to tampering such as using the lower cost meter outside of the official hours?

    Key Post Is there a gas and electricity supplier which rewards loyal customers?

    Just to add to this, I've noticed that, for a while now, Bonkers don't list all providers/tariffs (e.g. the Energia plan/tariff that I'm 99% sure is the cheapest for my needs) whereas Switcher has an option to show providers/tariffs that they can't switch you to (using which I do see the...

    Nightsaver house + smart meter -> nightsaver tariff eligibility?

    I accepted it on the understanding that (a) it would not affect my tariff options (but I hadn't thought it through to my options when shopping around next time!) (b) it's not my property anyway so I presume that they can do what they want with it especially since it's externally accessible and...

    Nightsaver house + smart meter -> nightsaver tariff eligibility?

    I know - but that doesn't answer my question which is - can a smart meter user opt for any of (a) a nightsaver tariff (b) a 24 hour flat rate tariff or (c) a smart plan tariff - or are they eligible only for (b) or (c)? Nightsaver tariffs are basically a form of proto smart plan albeit based on...

    Nightsaver house + smart meter -> nightsaver tariff eligibility?

    I actually assumed that it was a dumb question that would have been raised and answered already but when I went looking (here and elsewhere) I couldn't find anything. All that the leaflets that I received in advance of the smart meter installation said was "your current tariff/contract is not...

    Nightsaver house + smart meter -> nightsaver tariff eligibility?

    I can stay on my current nightsaver tariff but I want to know what my options are when I decide to shop around and move - in fact my fixed rate Flogas nightsaver tariff is now not competitive so I want to switch now (even after t he €50 penalty I am likely to save). But I don't know if my...

    Nightsaver house + smart meter -> nightsaver tariff eligibility?

    I live in an urban "nightsaver" house - i.e. one with storage heaters and immersion that operate overnight. Up to recently I had a day/night nightsaver meter - i.e. one with separate day/night unit readings. I have always been on, and currently remain on, a nightsaver tariff with different...

    This doesn't make sense to me. Why would an estate agent tell one prospective buyer to talk to another/others and for what purpose? If the estate agent wanted to play them off each other in order to get the best price for the seller (as is their job) then this seems an odd way to go about it...

    Which broadband provider?

    Fibre was installed by Circet in the ducts about two years ago in my area but still no sign of retail service availability. And, as I've said before, I'm about 3km from Dublin city centre.

    Which broadband provider?

    Ok, that makes sense but it didn't cause me any problems last year. The only small complication was getting access to my new account online because only the old one was showing until I called them. The person that I dealt with was a bit confused until I explained that I had cancelled one service...

    Lidl app - beware

    Are you sure about that? I'm almost certain that I've received a scratch "card" in the app for sub €10 purchases.
