TXU Energy Cash Rewards Sweepstakes Gets Cooking in Waco, Texas; Sweepstakes Winner Savors $10,000 in Extra Cash for Posting on Facebook
What does $10,000 taste like? One food-savvy Texas electricity customer
and her family will find out sooner rather than later, now that she has
won the
Energy Cash Rewards Sweepstakes. Deborah Stewart shared on Facebook
that if she won this kind of extra cash, she would remodel her kitchen
to better fit her family life and her passion for cooking. Her comment
entered her in the sweepstakes, and she has been randomly selected as
the grand-prize winner.
Stewart is a 30-year TXU Energy customer who lives in Waco, Texas. She
joined TXU Energy today in her home to celebrate the new kitchen she and
her family will soon enjoy thanks to the $10,000 check the company
presented to her. The company is also providing Stewart with an energy
efficiency expert to help ensure that her new kitchen is as energy
efficient as possible since, according to the
of Energy, home electronics and appliances like dishwashers,
refrigerators and water heaters are responsible for roughly 20 percent
of your electricity bill.
When I first found out I won, I didnt believe it, said Stewart.
Before this, I dont think I have ever won anything in my life! At
first I didnt tell anybody, not even my husband, because I thought it
seemed too good to be true. After a few more calls and emails, I
realized it was for real, and I was on cloud nine. This is great news,
and its happening just as my husband and I celebrate our 35th
anniversary. Weve been TXU Energy customers for nearly all of our
married life, and winning this is one more reason were glad weve
stayed with them over all these years.
The sweepstakes celebrated the companys five-year, $100 million
milestone in giving cash back to its customers through the Cash Back
Loyalty Reward program. It also marked the 2012 distribution of more
than $36 million to customers on TXU Energy electricity plans eligible
for cash back. Earlier this year, thousands received as much as 3
percent or more of their annual electricity purchases in cash back in
the form of Visa® prepaid cards.
Like our Cash Back Loyalty Reward program does for hundreds of
thousands, this sweepstakes is moving cash back into the hands of a
valued customer and supporting the economy where she and her family
live, work and shop, said Michael Grasso, chief marketing officer, TXU
Energy. While our grand prize was assigned randomly, we think its
great that its going to a customer and a family who has stayed with
us for three decades. Loyalty like this is truly invaluable, and were
glad to have the opportunity to reward it in an exciting and meaningful
way.
TXU Energy received thousands of entries in the sweepstakes, which ran
between Jan. 9 and March 31. The promotion was open to anyone 18 or
older and living in a competitive electricity market in Texas, including
TXU Energy customers and customers of other providers. Participants
entered through a dedicated tab on
companys Facebook page. New TXU Energy customers were automatically
entered, and participants could also enter by mail. No purchase was
necessary to enter or win.
According to the
2012 Brand Loyalty Survey, 54 percent of consumers say the best way
a company can build loyalty with them is by providing exemplary, 24/7
customer service and rewarding them for purchases, feedback and
referrals.
