Prepaid vs Postpaid Electricity

Weighing your Options | Prepaid Vs Postpaid

Now that you know the main differences, perks, and benefits associated with each electricity payment plan option, determine the right fit for your particular lifestyle and needs.

• How do you manage your money? If you’re interested in having the ability to monitor your electric usage and expenses before the charges stack up, prepaid electricity may be your best bet.
• A postpaid electric plan requires payment after your usage has occurred, so there’s very little “wiggle room” for controlling your usage, billing deadline, and the amount that you are responsible for paying.
• In addition to no SSN, credit check, or deposit required, you won’t have to worry about being charged extra fees or being penalized for being in less-than-perfect financial shape.
• We value your privacy and know the importance of protecting your personal information. All you will need to provide your Ampra agent with is your name, phone number and/or email address, and some brief security information to keep your account safe and out of the wrong hands.
• All you need to enroll in a prepaid electricity plan is the ability to text and/or access your email account for important account-related correspondence from Ampra.
• Managing your Ampra prepaid electricity account is simple—you’ll get daily updates about your usage and account balance through email or text. Whenever your account balance gets low (with less than approximately 3 days of power usage remaining), you’ll be notified in plenty of time to add to your balance.
• Prepaid electricity eliminates the stress associated with monthly bills and deadlines—you can pay how much you want, whenever you want! This type of power plan puts you in control, instead of the other way around.
• If you choose to sign up for auto-pay, you can set up your account to pay a certain amount each month and/or automatically charge your card a predetermined amount whenever your account balance dips too low—the choice is yours!
