Hey folks. Switched to EP last year for 15K Southwest miles.
My electric bill almost doubled. Called EP and got them to send me a refund for the obscene overcharging (triple the deliver rate of my previous supplier). I also got my miles. I almost switched my business to EP before I caught the price gouging. Would have cost me over 2K!
Avoid Energy Plus like the plague; if not, monitor your bills closely. This company is the definition of scum.

+1!!! Thanks everyone for paying more attention than I did, until I read this post. I switched to them a year ago because they were 10% below the local utility, and then assumed I would continue getting those priices or close to them (in addition to the miles) and stopped checking. Well three months later, with no notice (other than what warning might be buried in the Ts and Cs) they raised the rate to 40% above the local rates. Total dirtbags. When I called and raised a stink, they immediately (apparently used to this) transferred me to a supervisor and offered me a refund of only a small portion of the price gouging. These guys should be in jail.

Has anyone tried to get more than one bonus?
I got the AA miles for switching over the winter. I recently cancelled after the miles posted. And now Southwest is offering 12,500 pts to cardholders. So I'm wondering if anyone has tried to sign up again to get a bonus from a different airline. FWIW my electric bill did not drastically increase for the months I was with Energy Plus which is why I'm willing to do it again. I am in Chicago.

Be careful
Be careful of Energy Plus! I signed up because I wanted to get SPG points in July last year. Summer bill is always higher because of the AC. I thought it is reasonable for the bill higher. Couple month later, I notice that they were charign men 22 cert/kwatt. which other supplier was charging 11 cert/kwatt! Yep, twice as much!! I called them and adjust the price to 11 cert/kwatt. It is a rip off!! If you don't call, they will continue charging you the double rate. And they refused to refund the month they charge. I see a lawsuit there in the future.

NOW 20,000 American AAdvantage miles in NY
EnergyPlus also tried to screw me by hiking the rate, but I'm posting this offer anyway: 20,000 American AAdvantage miles for switching. Rate is fixed at 10.875 cents per kWh (only .4 cents above what I'm currently paying) for a full year. You won't benefit from any lowering of prices, but they also won't be able to jack the rate for a year, though once the year is up, the rate floats. $100 for canceling during the first year. A good deal for 20K miles, as long as you change your provider when the year is up.

I received an offer for 20k WN points (25k points if WN credit card holder). Offer expires 10/15/12.
Has anyone been able to get the bonus more than once? I thought I would try switching the name of the ComEd account to my spouse. Not sure if that will work.

Do you need to switch to your spouse first before signing up with EP again to get another bonus? Does switching Comed to spouse, and then back again, change the account number or something so that it looks like a new signup?

As a PECO user in the PHL area I just wanted to confirm my experience is consistent with other posters - EP charges much higher rates and it took 45 days from my request until I could be switched back to PECO. I ended up paying much more than the value of the points I earned. EP outscamed me in my scam to scam them for some points!
