Energy giant E.on is to push back a 30 June deadline for standard tariff customers to spend any remaining points from its soon-to-be defunct Rewards scheme to 11 October 2017.

Green Star Energy has launched a loyalty scheme which rewards customers for switching and staying with the firm with gift cards or energy-related products.

Theresa May has pledged to set an energy price cap on standard tariffs, in a move designed to cut gas and electricity bills by up to £100/year for those on the worst deals.
