My inlaws received a check a few months ago when their year ended.
 I also think this month con ed charged 11.9 while ambit was 9.2 in NY.
Just posting this to clear up what meshuganer said.

Stay away from energy plus! (in ny) they ripped both me and a friend off so badly they sent us back a check for part of it. It seems with all esco s if you are not on top of it every month it wont be worth it, and for 1% off supply portion its not really worth your time

100% correct. But that's why the guarantee from ambit that you save at LEAST 1% a year (sometimes more) is a great way to go because you can forget about your bill & not have to worry.

As discussed previously, many in NY have experienced that 1% savings (or any savings for that matter) to be false.

As discussed previously,  you get a check mailed to you at the end of the year.

As discussed previously. I and others did NOT!

Besides, did you actually calculate the 1% difference, and see if that's really what they paid you?

Did you ever calculate if your monthly savings from any other ESCO was the amount they promised you?

People like to attack Ambit, that's all there is to it.

Yes (meshugener, AsherO from others + acquaintances), and YES!

I'll tell you exactly why. Because people (unfortunately) do not like to see others make money. So especially now in the Jewish community as a lot of people heard of Ambit, there are those that are being very successful & making a lot of money from Ambit & their are those that tried it & didn't succeed or never tried it & go around saying that Ambit is a scam, either because they don't really understand the business & the deregulation system, or by them seeing some people being very successful at it & by realizing that they themselves are not capitalizing & it looks like to much work & effort. So it's way easier to just say it's a scam. Now you have a great reason why your not involved & your telling/thinking that watch these people who successful at it, they will be so disappointed when the Company gets busted & when the word will be out that it's a scam.

This particular discussion has nothing to do with those benefiting from Ambit's pyramid scheme (scam ;)), rather it's based on peopled own experiences with ESCO's including having used Ambit.
Facts and experiences, period.

I paid less then 1% total so far. I didn't have them for a year yet. I'm still working on 6 months. Still it's good stuff.

After a few months of seeing them rip me off like there's no tomorrow, I changed ESCO's.
Note that in all my arguments with them on the phone, they refused to admit that their prices were higher than ConEd's (or -as you claim- that they'd send me a check at the end of the year), instead they chose to distort the facts.

I am not all questioning your honesty (seriously). This could technically happen, were all human & the fact that the reps think they are master salesman is a separate issue. I hope you have much Hatzlacha whichever Company you are currently using & that you are happy to be a customer of their's.

If you read from the beginning of this thread, you'd see that there are other ESCO's which are actually cheaper.
This has nothing really to do with the rep, that's a side issue.  Issue was, they're not cheaper IME and many others.

Yes I have, & fully understand what your saying. & yes you do bring up very valid points, that should be mentioned.
