In the world of energy providers, many companies offer advice on how to reduce your energy costs. But how many of them actually equip you with the tools to make those cuts? At Ambit Energy, we do more than just talk. We've introduced our Free Energy program, a unique initiative that has quickly become a favorite among our customers nationwide. This program offers the opportunity to reduce your monthly energy costs by as much as 100%.

How Does It Work?

The process is simple and straightforward, consisting of three easy steps:

1. Sign Up:

The journey to earning Free Energy begins with becoming a customer. Anyone who signs up with Ambit Energy is eligible to start earning Free Energy. It's as simple as that. You need to be a customer to get credit for referring others.

2. Refer Friends:

The next step is to refer friends to become Ambit Energy customers. If you can help 15 (or more) friends become customers, you're on your way to earning Free Energy. There's no time limit or usage minimum required. If one of your referrals drops out, simply refer another, and your credit will restart. It's that easy.

3. Get Credit:

Once you've referred enough friends, Ambit will start applying credits directly to your energy bill. Alternatively, we can mail you a check. As long as you maintain a minimum of 15 qualified customers, you'll continue to receive these credits.

To calculate your Free Energy credit, we take the average daily energy cost for your referred customers and multiply it by the number of days in your billing cycle. We then credit this amount to you. You can earn Free Energy every month, up to your total energy cost (not including taxes, transmission charges, and other fees).

Why Choose Ambit Energy's Free Energy Program?

Our Free Energy program is more than just a cost-saving opportunity. It's a testament to our commitment to providing value to our customers. We believe in rewarding loyalty and building a community of satisfied customers who are as enthusiastic about our services as we are.

Moreover, this program allows you to become an active participant in spreading the word about Ambit Energy. By referring friends, you're not only helping them discover our reliable and affordable energy services, but you're also helping them unlock the potential for savings.
