Ambit Energy is a complete scan from top to bottom. First their consultant, an ex-friend (now!), told me I was going to get a lower rate than my previous provider.
I got a lower rate the first month. The 2nd month it doubled. The 3rd month it tripled. I called my ex-friend, and she said she was sorry, but she did not know what was going on. She said it probably was because everything was going up. I kept calling customer service, many times every month and everybody would tell me thay could not help me. Until finally, one day, a service rep finally told me the truth. He told me where to read the small letters in their terms of service on the internet, that shows that the low rate is only the first month. But the sales reps never tell you that.
I am a disabled, poor senior citizen, not even affording day to day food and expenses, whose only income is my monthly social security check, which I receive only on the third of the month. Their due date for me is the 1st of the month. They told me I have a two day grace period. so I can pay it on the 3rd and not be penalized. But every month on the 2nd, they add around $2oo.00 of late charges and reconnection fees. I have to call every month and try to work it out with several supervisors. Sometimes I wait several weeks before I hear from them. Sometimes they don't return my calls. Sometimes they give me partial credit, sometimes they do not.
This company is a pyramid that sooner or latter will have its source of customers dry up as more and more of their multi-level-marketing scheme reps leave them, unhappy because only the top people are getting rich, not the sales reps. Only Brian McClure, their MLM director is becoming a multi-millonaire with this scam. Their peons and their customers will leave them little by little and the Pyramid will crumble, just like the Babel Pyramid of wicked ancient Babylon crumbled. The modern Babylon the Great will also soon be shattered to pieces because of its wickedness.

I have a lot of friends dong this, some are law enforcers as others are just average people like me. I helped one of my friends out to start in Ambit and he hasnt been doing anything with drugs anymore. he used to live off of that money. Now he is happy working and helping people. I have proof, all done on my own.
Feel free to contact me. I dont care if you yell at me, get angry, and complain. Just listen to what I have to say. @

Also about the utility bill issue. You do understand that it takes at least 2 months for Ambit to show and be used in your services after signing up fully. And you really have got to be kidding me. I also checked the rates during that time and you actually did save. Its all public. Thats why I am not skeptic anymore. I even met a few marines, navy seals, and jos' doing this as a part time to help support their family because of how they are having issues with of course, money.
At present, I am only a customer of Ambit but I am considering becoming a consultant. I told the person that was attempting to recruit me that I would want to become a customer first to determine whether it was worth it/safe. As a result, I was very interested in gathering a lot of information so I knew what to expect as an Ambit customer and would know the answers if I became a consultant. Here are some things that in NY a customer can count on…
- Delivery will remain with the local company (NG). This means your bill, and your online account access will still be through NG and you call them with any issues. It is only your supply which will come from Ambit. When the industry was deregulated NG was given the option to be the supplier or the deliverer; they chose to deliver. The reason that a lot of customer complaints arose, is that in Texas, Ambit was both the supplier and deliverer, and they had to build their billing and service departments from scratch. This led to a lot of mistakes on their part, but they have improved. Regardless, if you are in NY or another state where Ambit only handles the supply, this is not a concern.
- You will need to reestablish your Budget Plan if you currently have one with NG. This is as simple as clicking on it again on the NG website.
- 1% cheaper OR MORE on your supply costs. This is an Ambit guarantee. The attached photo shows the rates charged for supply by National Grid versus Ambit since I have been a customer. You can verify these rates on the NG website. The totals over 5 months came to...
NG Ambit
TOTALS $400.57 $387.08
As you can see by switching, I didn't save all that much. Still, I have saved some money, and at the same time I did a friend a favor and helped break up a monopoly.
Poor ambit. The non employee of ambit doesn't even give a sensible remedy to this woman's problem. This person will do great at lying ambit
I think that there are two major points to the argument that need to be separated: that deregulation can save consumers money, and that Ambit is a scheme. It seems disingenuous to assume that anyone posting about a poor Ambit experience is a competitor, since that assumes that only positive things can be said about any company. Deregulation does decrease prices in many scenarios. What people should be more concerned about is the sales tactics being used by reps. One approached my parents and told them that they would make an enormous amount of money by getting others to sign up, though my parents are in neither sales nor the energy industry. Ambit seems to focus on "clients" who don't understand the nuts and bolts of how the company makes money, which is that Ambit buys a block of energy at a certain rate and then sells that block to consumers. They make money through arbitrage, which in and of itself is not a problem. The problem is that their marketing is through the contacts of customers, and that that method is generally frowned upon.
This company doesn't send invoices - bills. Also doesn't send late notices. (You have to log into their website to get these) But turns your power off with out notice, tthen forces you to pay large fees to have the power turned back on. their customer service is very poor. they do not have any after hours customer service. So if your power is turned off you must wait until they open to call for Information or to get your power turned back on. I will be finding another provider.
"Stupid! Do your homework before you start running off your mouth." Another erudite Ambit rep, showing his/her sophisticated customer service skills. Did you read what this person even wrote before responding? He's on a fixed income! Really, don't sell your conscious and soul to a crappy energy company. You won't get rich on this plan - but I'm sure you'll win the lottery. ;P
As a friend said about Ambit, "There are more honorable ways to make money: arms smuggling, narcotics trafficking, and guiding illegal aliens safely past the US Border Patrol to name a few."
"What a loser... you have no clue what your talking about. I guess flipping burgers & serving shakes are more up your alley." Flipping burgers is a more honorable (and most likely better paying) profession than an Ambit rep. Some of us have actual jobs, which produce things or provide a service that doesn't involve roping our friends and family into our "business."
Stay FAR AWAY from Ambit Energy!
They claim they never received our letter to continue on the Savings Plan back in 2012, and without alerting us, they switched us to the variable plan.
This past month our bill has nearly doubled from previous months...now up past $300 for a single month. Ambit's Price Per Therms is TRIPLE what National Grid is currently charging.
They said there is nothing they can do for us, and in fact it will take another two billing cycles before we can be switched back to National Grid's plan.
Reporting to BBB and warning everyone.
Ambit energy is an absolute scam. They charge double energy costs in marketplace. Do not work with them.
Ambit has defied all of it's NY Customers and Consultants. Customers are reporting that since they did not renew their savings plan they are paying 2x as much as the incumbent supplier is charging. Consultants are loosing their businesses and even their friends. Even if customers call to renew their 2% savings contract it takes a couple billing cycles to kick into effect. Jerry and Chris, shame on you and your vow to be the most respected energy company possible. This change has preyed on the old and those who were not paying attention to their auto-pay and junk mail. In the past 3 months I have lost 25% of my customers and most others will soon realize that they have paid $1000+ more than they should have over the past 5 months.
Ambit has been averaging about 42cents higher than our incumbent and ripping us off. It is ridiculous that they can overcharge and get away with it. They pacify you that a the end of the year they will give you back money if they think you have overpaid which ends up being a paltry couple of dollars. PLEASE DO NOT GO WITH ANY OF THE ESCO'S. THEY ARE overcharging everyone and you are not getting the savings. CITY GAS and POWER is the same thing. Everyone is looking for savings and all they doing is ripping everyone off.
I made more money in six months as an Ambit consultant than I did in another MLM opportunity years ago. In addition, I have received $90, $92 and $108 in energy rebates over the past three months. If you got "double and triple" rates over a three month period (which is highly doubtful), it wasn't because of Ambit. Sounds like someone forgot to watch their rates and the consultant dropped the ball. Ambit is changing lives.
I currently became a consultant for $0.00 and instantly made a 100 dollars an hour later. My light bill is way way cheaper n i put about 2 hours of effort into it on a daily basis n constantly sign a average of 2 to 3 ppl per day. The promotions are sinple to acgieve and the pay goes up. I recieve a check every week for good amounts i cash them n reap the rewards od no effort. Ambit hasbt lied or failed me yet or friends of mine who have months w ambit ans make thousands per week. Ordinary ppl like me. ITS REAL AND IR WORKS
As an Ambit consultant, it sounds like the people complaining about rates were on a variable rate system with the company. We also offer a fixed rate system that you must renew at the end of your contract. So many people complain without first doing some research and finding out the facts. Until November 20th the $429 enrollment fee has been waived. And for those who haven't kept up with the company, Ambit just opened their 15th state! Before complaining, find an Ambit reopen and ask questions!
Well, all I can say is you are all wasting your time. I have a sure fire way to make some money. Recently, I was informed that I am the sole & last surviving member of the Royale House & Kingdom of Kapeccapecque, and island inside the Sea of Mendacity. Now, this island has a large supply of gold just waiting to be mined. However, in order to get this gold I the Maharaja of Kapeccapeque need investors. So, in return for a pledge of $1.000.00 I promise to give you a stake in this mine of mine, , , soon to be yours.
Ambit Energy is not a scam. I noticed in some of the comments there are words misspelled. Go back to school and learn how to spell before you show anyone else how ignorant you are people.
I've been an Ambit customer for over years, and had free electricity for about 5 years. I've also been a consultant for 5+ years. I haven't made much money at all. Is that the fault of Ambit? Wait, how much work have I done? Very little. I own a small business as well. When I work, I make money, and when I don't work, I don't make money. That is universal folks.
You might be asking, "Why don't you quit, if you aren't making much money?"
I've asked myself the same question. Why is someone without a college degree, a criminal background, and a former addict making millions with Ambit, and me, a college grad not making much? Why is a single mom making 6 digits with Ambit, and I'm not. Why are several people in my county, who are in their 40's able to live off their Ambit residual income when I'm not making much at all?
Ambit works... when the consultants work. If I quit, it's not because Ambit failed me, It's because I failed myself. They did their part, and I didn't do mine. It would be an admission of my lack of motivation, drive, and self-discipline. Yeah, I suck at that stuff. But, at least I'll admit it, and am working on those flaws. No excuses from me, just a dedication to more hard work, and getting mentorship from the successful ones.
