One of the benefits that draws the most attention is the supposed discount it provides on the CFE electricity bill, with which you would only have to pay half of your bimonthly electricity consumption.
Does the CFE give a 50% discount with the INAPAM card?
No, the INAPAM card does not grant a 50% discount on the CFE electricity bill. At the time, INAPAM published a notice asking senior citizens not to be misled by information regarding a supposed discount on electric service.
According to the Institute, there is no agreement between INAPAM and the CFE that allows for electricity payments to be cut in half simply by presenting the credential.
The confusion regarding the discount may have arisen because INAPAM offers numerous discounts and benefits on services such as property tax and water.
How do you know if an INAPAM discount is real?
Before going to an establishment or completing a procedure because you saw a promotion on social media, it is recommended to consult the 2026 INAPAM Benefits Directory. The Institute publishes the establishments and services that offer discounts for those who hold the credential.
What discounts does INAPAM actually offer in 2026?
Among the main benefits are:
- Alimentación
- Transporte
- Salud
- Predial y agua
- Educación, recreación y cultura
Does the INAPAM card expire?
The INAPAM credential has no expiration date and is valid indefinitely, regardless of the year you applied for it or the older design it may have.
Remember that to obtain the credential, INAPAM establishes requirements such as a birth certificate, official identification, CURP, proof of address, and a photograph, although some requirements may vary depending on the state.
