Alberta’s government is extending the application deadline for its $100 energy rebate by one month.
Eligible residents will have until Oct. 31 to apply online for the fuel tax payments announced in June.
Also, starting Thursday, the province is pausing its fuel tax for three months to help combat the cost at the pumps.
Four months ago, Premier Danielle Smith said the rebate was chosen because of concerns that tax cuts don’t always get passed on to consumers.

Challenges continue for Albertans applying for energy rebate program
But Smith said last week that Albertans weren’t happy with the rebate program, and her government would revert to cutting its 13 cents per litre tax on gasoline and diesel until the end of the year.
Nearly 3.4 million adult Albertans are eligible for the rebate, but Finance Minister Jason Nixon says so far only about 1.5 million people have applied.
Could the government take my money toward AISH? I will be happy!
Jeff stop going elbows up then .
Who wants to give the UCP all the information they requested for a paltry 100 bucks. History has shown they are not capable of safeguarding our information. Just not worth the risk.
Trying to buy us for &100 WITH OUR OWN MONEY is an insult and a slap in the face. Even Klein offered us $400 as a bribe decades ago. That $400 is probably equivalent to $2,000 in today’s dollars.
If I did apply, I would give $50 to Peter Guthrie’s Tory party and $50 to the NDP.
Take your $100 and stick it up your nose!
An extension doesn’t help the large number of people not tied into electronic banking. Duh
My privacy is worth WAY more than 100$. Whoa wait…with oil over 100$ mark this is dangling the carrot then getting whipped.
Enough with elbows whatever already. Any more commenter having to do with elbows deserve a kick in the azz.
Too complicated and confusing to complete the application, just not worth the effort for a lousy $100.
Take your $100, roll it up real tight and shove it up your sin cave, Danielle!!
You’re not getting my personal info for a measly hundred bucks!
Its bait . Asking for way to much personal information. And thats its purpose. Otherwise they would just give everyone a rebate
