British Gas customers Rebate deadline extended

[007paul007]

ENDS 28 FEB. ?30 rebate for British Gas customers on benefits.

 

 

UPDATE 6 JAN 2006: Although the official deadline for applications was 31/12/05, British Gas says you can still apply til 28 Feb 06, though you will only get ?30 now, rather than ?60.

 

 

They are giving out rebates of ?60 on winter bills - it is paid in two installments in November and February. The rebate is worth ?40 for gas customers, ?20 for electricity, i.e. ?60 for customers getting both.

 

Check to see if you?ve received a form with your gas bill or call 0845 602 2008 and press 1 for Winter Fuel Rebate. All you need is your account details and they?ll arrange it for you.

 

It's for British (or Scottish) Gas customers only and you have to be on one of the following benefits:
