The previous two AGL Seniors energy plans were AGL Seniors Fixed, and AGL Seniors Plus Plan. While these plans were pretty similar, these two AGL Seniors plans had one notable difference:
- AGL Seniors Fixed Plan: Get fixed rates for 12 months
- AGL Seniors Plus Plan: Get variable rates on an ongoing plan
While AGL Seniors Fixed and AGL Seniors Plus are discontinued, Seniors Card holders can still sign up for AGL Seniors Saver.
