Millions of households will soon get a £400 discount on their energy bill to help with the cost of living.
The rebate will be paid starting from October, spread out over six months.
But energy suppliers are taking different approaches to handing out the cash.
Some will send the money to your bank account, others will reduce your bills and many firms have not yet decided.
To make matters even more complicated, what sort of meter you have also changes how you will get the £400.

If you pay by monthly direct debit, you will get the cash to your bank account or as a bill reduction.
Those who pay with credit - after getting a bill - will get the cash as credit on their energy account.
If you have a smart prepayment meter you will get the £400 as credit on your meter, in instalments.
People with traditional prepayment meters will get vouchers, which can be used to top up their meter.
MoneySavingExpert has worked out how you will receive this money depending on your exact circumstances.
