Benefit Period

A Benefit Period is the duration that benefits such as fixed or discounted usage and/or supply charges apply. Benefit Periods are usually 12 or 24 months but can be as much as 36 or even 60 months. At the end of the benefit period the retailer may offer another plan or move you to a standing offer where no discounts apply.
