- BC Hydro
BC Hydro has been promoting their smart speaker skill for both Google Home and Alexa for about 6 months. If you link your BC Hydro account to your smart speaker, you can ask questions about your electricity usage - nothing really useful, but they offer an interesting assessment of heat vs. lighting vs. other usage for the month based on an estimation algorithm. It's free to sign up, but you need to supply a Microsoft account. Tip: just create a new Microsoft account for this purpose - trying to use an existing Microsoft account is a comedy of errors that will waste half an hour.
Previously they offered a $10 bonus for answering a brief questionnaire about your usage of this service (already received as a credit on BC Hydro bill).
Earlier this month they offered another $10 if you asked Alexa a question invoking their skill 10 times between Sun Nov 10 and Sat Nov 16. (see earlier thread below)
Now it's $5 if you ask Alexa a question invoking the BC Hydro skill once per week in December.
