E.ON and Tesco Clubcard launch new way to pay for energy

E.ON and Tesco are launching a new initiative in an industry first that allows E.ON customers to use Tesco Clubcard vouchers to pay towards their energy bills.

To thank customers for being with E.ON and Tesco, 50% will be added to the face value of any Tesco Clubcard vouchers used - so, for every £10 worth of Tesco Clubcard vouchers exchanged, £15 will be deducted from the customer's energy bill.
 
This additional 50% follows feedback from E.ON's 15,000-strong YourSay Panel that customers wanted to be rewarded for being with E.ON.

This is the next step in a 13-year partnership between E.ON and Tesco Clubcard that already allows eligible E.ON customers to earn Tesco Clubcard points for money spent on energy.
 
Graham Bartlett, Managing Director of E.ON's Energy Solutions business, said: "We're keen to help our customers get their bills ‘energy fit' - and are extremely proud that we're the only energy supplier to allow customers to earn Tesco Clubcard points on their bills and also use Clubcard vouchers as a new way to pay.

"We value our customers' feedback, so when they told us they wanted to be rewarded, we listened.

"This new scheme we're piloting offers our customers a unique and convenient way to help offset some of their household energy costs."

Janet Smith, Tesco's Clubcard Director, continued: 'We're delighted to welcome E.ON as a new Rewards partner. Customers tell us that money is tight so being able to offer them a new way to save money on energy bills is really important.

"These kinds of rewards on energy just aren't available elsewhere on the market so we're very proud that Clubcard is playing a part in making them available to customers."

Customers should visit tesco.com/eonrewards for more details and Terms and Conditions. The pilot scheme will initially run until 5 August 2011 with a view to rolling out further in the future.
 
E.ON recently launched eonenergyfit.com/ where users can take a short energy survey and receive tailored recommendations on the changes they can make at home to start saving energy and money straightaway.
