PG&E bonu$

Did you get your $25 prepaid Mastercard bonus from PG&E yesterday?  The letter notes:

We asked you to conserve natural gas during a period when some gas pipelines on the Peninsula were unavailable or undergoing repair.  Thousands of people like you stepped up by doing simple things to reduce their natural gas use.

It all seems a bit convenient to me since I don't think I did much at all to change gas usage.  I'm constantly cutting electicity usage, but gas pretty much flows as dictated by the thermostat.  Is this a $25 acknowledgment that this December was warmer expected?

    This really feels like PG&E is bribing me to foreget about San Bruno. If they wanted to give a refund why not just do it on the monthly bill. Something smells here.

    This is a hustle that smells like a banker’s scam. I’d suggest that PG&E make it very clear, on their website, how to transform this plastic, and all the fine print that came with it, into a straightforward credit to my account.
    How much did this program cost the shareholders? How did CITI get their sleazy hands on what should be a simple sharing of savings due to sunny weather.
    I am so offended that they pull this crap. This smacks of ENRON and the Cheney energy council.
