The Offer
- Arcadia is offering $25 off your bill when you play trivia
Our Verdict
Seems like you only need to answer one question to get the $25. If you’re not sure what Arcadia is, I’d recommend reading this post first. Arcadia also offered $50 recently for taking a picture of your power setup.
Hat tip to reader Peter
It seems that Arcadia is back with a $250 Amazong GC sign up offer. https://www.arcadia.com/savings-toward-your-bill-250gc
It did not track for me automatically but a quick email to support was enough to get the card.
Posted, thanks! https://www.doctorofcredit.com/signup-for-arcadia-power-get-250-amazon-gift-card/
Credit just posted for me on my statement today! Thank you! 11/2
Credit posted for me on my Oct 1st statement.
I see the $25 credit applied to my Sep statement (billing period of end Aug – end Sep).
No credit on my September statement.
They have added the credit, not sure if it was manual adjustment or delayed automatic.
That was a quick $25!
Is there a way to get a free account now? 🙂 Thanks
No.
Sounds like some people are fortunate enough to still have free accounts. I was told they would reactive me with a free account and they are in the process of converting all free accounts and I will have 60 days notice of when it’s converted.
They just reactivated it with a paid account from the start.
And they said:
“Thank you for the reply and happy to help! At the time you spoke with the representative, not all accounts had been moved to our new $5 100% clean energy plan. It just so happened that during the point of your re-activation, that all accounts had then been moved to our flat $5/month 100% clean energy plan, so you were unable to have received notice via email due to your account having been closed. This means your account was not able to be re-activated on our Free plan, because it no longer existed. ”
Since so many people still have free plans, sounds like they were just making stuff up. And what’s with the new dashboard/statement format? It seems so low tech compared to before.
I’ll take the $25 though. 😀
Whether you were grandfathered into the free account relates to state laws I believe. I can’t say which specific state law but I do not think they would willingly grandfather free accounts in unless certain state laws regarding utility providers applied.
I can’t believe they would be regulated as a utility provider. They just pay your bill for you.
No, they actually own some of the solar projects that you can sign up for. I think the states where the service is free is where they own solar projects. 90% of my electricity comes from a solar project Arcadia owns in my state of IL. They generate the electricity and ComEd delivers it. The solar electricity is about 40% cheaper than ComEd’s. Additionally I get some kind of credit from ComEd for them delivering solar generated electricity? I don’t fully understand it but I am certain the current setup is advantageous because of tax breaks Arcadia gets.
Thanks DoC for posting this.
One of the easiest ones.
I got the message that credit will be applied by Sept 30, not sure if it rolled into Sept as I did it technically on 9/1.
Seems this will be a weekly thing. Any idea when does the trivia week start and end?
Please do post when the next week’s ‘Electrivia’ becomes available.
Did anyone receive a confirmation? I answered correctly but did not receive any type of confirmation email.
same and no confirmation, I ‘ll check my bill next month.
