I think most would agree an infinite 5% bonus streak is/was not sustainable, but a 100% cap is ridiculously low.. perhaps a streak of 60 (300%) would be a more phased approach than "cutting people's legs out beneath them"

I agree with all my fellow energy savers. I started this program early 2018 & I had arguments with my wife to participate in Ohmhour ( she was against it because we sat without a/c, tv & lights) & I was only able to convince based on the 5% winning streak that how much it would pay out in future. My current streak is 47% & was hoping to make it really big next year.

From, Ohmconnect standpoint, there needs to be a sustainable model but slashing it down to just 100% doesn't cut for existing/consistent savers & wouldn't promote new customer to join. Also, change of no points ohmhours is also discouraging because I need to hit a target to qualify & then lucky draw. By the way, you know that out of 17K participating you are pleasing only lucky 50 people those who are hand-picked (based on what?)

You will lose a lot of existing customers & probably difficult to get new ones...

This is a crazy change. I've done everything to preserve this streak, its not as long a streak as others, but its getting there. The last few Ohm hours yielded very little, but required a fairly large cut. In Northern California its getting quite cold this time of year, so these hours are a bit tough. I think we might have to reconsider our participation. The cost isn't really worth the benefit any longer.

Well, I guess I will chime in too. I was rocking a 525% streak bonus, platinum user with a 94% savings reduction. I'm now rewarded with Diamond status and a 100% bonus, Oh, and let's not forget I get to participate in a prize Ohm hour rather than receive points. I say this is a slap in the face to their loyal energy savers.
Last two Ohm hours I've earned $1.02 and $1.22, plus I can only cash out every 30 days. For me my future participation with Ohm connect is highly unlikely!

There goes my 164 in a row streak bonus of 820%. Crap!

Bummer...

You'll be Diamond though!

So instead of a formula of BASE X (2 + 8.2) or BASE X 10.2 you are going to BASE X (2.5 + 1) or BASE X 3.5. That's a haircut of (1-(3.5/10.2))X100=65.6%

For me it's a reduction of 59.4% and a #TOTALBUZZKILL

Yes, we are upset. At least give us enough time to use our boosters with our current streaks!!😝no incentive left to participate without streaks, so it looks like it will be goodbye ohm for us.
