swag, and posters below that....you may well need to CALL THEM, and ask for their best discounted rate, *different* from their Nonepass affinity rate, and if you get quoted what I did, you will likely pass on the Continental rate...it was clearly 15% or more higher than the non-affinity rate...I am satisfied just getting to pay via [affinity]credit card, for being able to pay for both commercial and residential energy bills, and for getting an appreciable discount under TXU's benchmark "rate to beat".

For a commercial/small business rate, they are quoting me in the vicinity of 6.6¢ per kWh (1yr contract), or 6.4¢ per kWh for 2yr contract. My residential rate is approx 6.9¢ per kWh, I know its tough to get a true apples to apples comparison between energy companies, not unlike comparing your cell bill between carriers, so YMMV. I have not compared Gexa w/ Reliant and TXU since my initial comparison last year...do I need to review this again out of concern for "slippage" ?

Still - I would be highly-surprised to confirm Reliant is competitive, as I consider them to be quasi-TXU in terms of being one of the "old" monopolies.
