Fuzzy Feelings?

Happy Friday eve 👋 

I have been looking forward to this week’s price check, because it gave me an excuse to check out whether the promotional email I got from the supplier Town Square Energy is really this great deal that it claims to be.

And not surprisingly, the fuzzy feeling of receiving a special Town Square Energy promo code in my inbox faded quickly when I saw that the offer doesn’t even make the top 3 below. There is actually a better offer out there by Town Square Energy itself (see third place below), it just happens to be for 10 months rather than the 12 months offer I received via email.

Always, make sure to triple check the prices of plans and referral program conditions when signing up. The prices were advertised on January 25, 2024. They shift a lot and I simply can’t guarantee that the prices listed here are still in effect when you sign up.

¹ The steps to unlock the $100 gift card are a bit more complex than just waiting for the gift cards of Direct Energy. Read about the conditions here. For instance, it includes you having to stay with Think Energy for 6 months to qualify and then requires you to fill out a form on their website. If this sounds too onerous, go with the second place offer.

² Full disclosure: I am a customer of Direct Energy myself at the moment, so signing up as a new customer via the referral link will unlock a $50 Visa prepaid card after you pay your first three bills in full and on time.

³ I am not a customer of Town Square Energy at this point in time, so the link above does not unlock the referral offer of a $5 Amazon gift card.
