Benefits
The more actions you take, the more impact you’ll make.
Each month, we’ll send an email with new ways to earn points and save energy. Activities are worth between 5-50 points. Points add up fast with quizzes, games, and other activities. It’s easy!
For every 20 points earned, you’ll have a chance to redeem rewards. Get a coupon for up to $50 off your SMECO Marketplace purchase. More rewards to come!
You can save up points for larger rewards.
Any points you earn can be “banked” until you are ready to redeem them for rewards. Points expire annually.
SMECO’s Energy Perks program rewards active members for taking advantage of SMECO services and learning about how to manage energy use at home. Reducing energy use helps members save money, increases sustainability, and benefits the SMECO community.

Enrolled members will receive monthly emails from EnergyPerks@smeco.coop with actions they can complete to earn points. As members accrue points, they become eligible to redeem perks.

SMECO’s Energy Perks is currently open for previous Energy Perks participants. However, this is not permanent! The program will open to all SMECO residential members in Summer 2024.
For participating members, activities may include registering for SMECO’s Account Manager, creating an energy-saving plan, answering a quiz or poll, or participating in SMECO’s energy efficiency programs. Many activities may be tasks you’re already doing, but now you get extra perks for completing them! The program will unlock new ways to earn points each month, so be sure to check your inbox at least once per month for additional ways to earn. You can also check your Perks Portal to see all available activities.
Energy Perks members can access their Portal through the links in the Monthly Statement emails. Click on “Visit Your Perks Portal” or “Get Your Perks” to get into your Portal! We suggest you bookmark your unique portal link in your browser for easy access.
Members can earn between 5 and 100 points for each activity. The more activities you complete, the more points you earn. Members can earn over $100 worth of perks. Points values will be displayed in monthly email statements sent to participants. Limited-time offers to earn extra points for completing activities may also be sent to your email.
Your participation in the activities will be tracked by program administrators. Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing, however it may only take one week to process in some cases. You can check your Perks Portal at any time to see your points balance. Participating members will receive an email statement each month showing their points balance. Email SMECOEnergyPerks@icf.com with any concerns.
To see your points balance, check your monthly email statement from EnergyPerks@smeco.coop. New activities will be sent each month for ways to earn more points. Your monthly email statement will also include your unique link to your Perks Portal, where your points balance, earnings and redemption history, and new earning activities will be shown.
Redeem your points in the Perks Portal by clicking the link in any email from the program. When you have earned 20 points or more, you can redeem them for a coupon to SMECO Marketplace.
Members must have a minimum of 20 points to redeem them on the Perks Portal. You can redeem once your points meet the threshold at the time of your rewards selection or continue to bank any points left over to keep earning for additional perks. Points expire annually, so be sure to check on your points balance frequently.
If you selected an online coupon, your coupon code will arrive via email within 2 to 3 days after completing your order. Please email SMECO Energy Perks with any concerns.
