Energy Plus promotion not worth it; way inflated energy rates
I enrolled in the Energy Plus promotion to get Continental OnePass miles. Two billing cycles later and I am absolutely switching back to ConEd (NYC energy provider), as Con Ed's rate this month (Jan. '11) is 11 cents per kilowatt hour and Energy Plus is charging 19 cents per kilowatt hour for the exact same service. When I complained last month to Energy Plus, the said they would switch me to a lower billing plan, which turns out to still be 15.9 cents per kilowatt hour (compared to the 11 cents with my previous provider). My electric bill is monstrous and this is definitely not worth it for a few thousand miles. I could have purchased the miles outright and still saved money. I would steer clear of Energy Plus...grossly inflated rates!
