Third-Party
Hi guys,
I saw an ad for RoboSave on the bus. Has anyone tried them out? $19.95 per year for the service and they currently have the first 3 months free.
Interesting concept, as per their website:
RoboSave is a revolutionary new robotic tool to help consumers AUTOMATICALLY switch to save on energy bills.
It’s the latest initiative by the people behind One Big Switch to help you win the battle against the soaring cost of living.
Once you activate RoboSave and RoboSave undertakes your first switch, it then continues to read your bills & scans the market^ for cheaper available energy plans, RoboSave will auto-switch you when it detects a significant saving*.
The result of several years of technological development and accumulated knowledge about how to slash energy bills, RoboSave was designed to release Australians from worrying about overpriced power bills.
Seems like gambling to me. If you can't "save" $100 p.a. you lose the $19.95 bet. And I don't really know how it would work when many energy providers provide larger discounts only with 12 or 24 month contracts.
But if the service was free but only took $19.95 as commission then sure. I'm sure a lot of OzBargainers will take the 3 month offer and run.
