I’ve been with bulb for a year now and they have been the best so far. I recently received an email from them saying they have credited £10 to my account because I had waited on the phone for 11 minutes to speak to someone 3 weeks earlier. This is how companies should behave, I thought. They will pay any exit fees when you leave your old supplier. They have consistently been the cheapest for me for the last year. You get monthly email reminders about your direct debit due. If your account is in credit by more than your monthly direct debit you can request a refund. They offer the warm home discount. They also operate a referral system where you and the one refer can get £50 each added to your account when you sign up. Because I’ve been with them a year if you sign up using the following link by 16th Jan 2019 they will credit your account with £100. bulb.co.uk/refer/andrew5318

I’m moving soon to a 1 bed flat and keen to go with a modern, green supplier. USwitch recommended Octopus as their top pick, but the online quotes on each suppliers websites showed Bulb was a bit cheaper. What’s the consensus? It looks like more people have offered Bulb codes, are they better overall?
I’ll come click on the latest referral link when it comes time to sort everything out!
I’ve just signed up with First Utility, which seems cheaper than bulb, and is fixed until March 2020. Dont think they do referrals!
Edit: They do! https://firstutility.mention-me.com/m/ol/rk6st-will-perrin (£50 each!)

Ive switched from bulb to octopus worked out a little cheaper for me and it’s a fixed term for 12 months, and octopus support smart meters so no having to send manual meter reading each month! £50 referal scheme same a bulb, I’ll post my below.

Thanks Andrew! Used your referral link to sign up 
Smart meters are no longer compulsory and energy suppliers can increase cost randomly during peak times and they cost you money 
Bulb are the cheapest as they also now have home warm discount so I could save £50 with a supplier but as they don’t do homewarm I lose £90
First utility £135 a year more for me 
There is a surcharge for Liverpool fans
Admin charge for the Giro failing all the time

Just been looking at Octopus and they have a Agile Tariff which varies during the day depending on your usage which may be handy for some who have Electric Cars and heating. It even integrates with IFTTT so that you can turn devices on and off when it’s at the best rate.
They even mention that you can take advantage of Monzo’s Pots and have some IFTTT Recipes for this. Not sure if it’s been mentioned before. Would love to take advantage of that but my bills come out of my Joint Account…
I was with Outfox the Market (“100% renewable”), but following their price rises and direct debit shenanigans I switched to whoever was cheapest for me which was Utility Point. It honestly doesn’t really matter who you’re with save for early exit fees. Level of customer support doesn’t matter either except for initial set up and switching away again, and if you have issues with those, just report them to Ofgem and you can get compensation (I did when I was with Iresa before they shut).
Might not be a popular opinion since everyone’s a big fan of Bulb and/or Octopus, but it’s how I do things and my bills are lower because of it.

I am with you 100%. Loyalty is not important to most businesses, new customers is. If that was not the case, they would keep giving you discounts to retain your custom. So I hop. For the last 2 years E.ON has given me the cheapest tariff when compared on uSwitch, so I have stuck with them. Before that I was with OVO. Keep switching!

Yep. I joined the Energy Club on MSE https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheapenergyclub and get emailed when I can save money by switching, and it means I can keep track of when my fixed deal ends, etc.

Same here. I also use Quidco Compare for Car, Home and Travel insurance. I have usually found them cheaper than other comparison websites, because they include cashback. Saves me the hassle.

Not tried Quidco Compare before. I usually only look at CtM and GoCo for all three. I’ll try to keep them in mind in November (when all three renew, it’s an expensive month 
)

Quidco with TopCashback in general is awesome for free cashbacks when you shop online. Quidco Compare is just another of white labelled products which allows you to compare premiums with cashback built in. If you have not signed up with Quidco, maybe I can PM you a referral link?
