"€300 off — today only!" energy offer — buy or skip?
Real energy discounts aren't forced on the spot. "Sign today" pressure is almost always a sales tactic. 4 counter-moves.
"Today only" or "Now €X off" on energy switching is almost always FOMO marketing. Same or better rates available via calm comparison. 4 counter-moves: (1) demand a WRITTEN offer valid 7-14 days — real providers grant it; (2) compare via 2-3 independent comparison sites + 1 direct; (3) check actual annual total (bare rate × annual use + fixed fees + cashback prorated), not the one-off discount; (4) check term + exit conditions — €300 off a 3-year fixed deal only matters if you won't want to switch earlier. Keep the 14-day cooling-off (BW 6:230o) as backstop. Under pressure: "Email me, I'll call Monday" works 99% — if they refuse, it wasn't a real offer.
