Rebate Help & Information
Do not contact the store if your rebate was rejected, for questions regarding rebate status, or rebate payments.

If you have not taken delivery of your products yet due to stock shortages or back orders, but a rebate deadline is approaching: Submit your rebate anyway.
All rebate programs have a method with which to tell the processor that you are still waiting for back ordered product to arrive. Due to the current pandemic situation, your products may be delayed beyond the application deadline of your rebate(s). In this case,
do not wait for your products to arrive before submitting your rebate(s). Rebate deadlines will
not be extended due to back order delays. You will have the opportunity to supply your product serial numbers after your merchandise arrives; however, your initial application
must still be made before the deadline.
You will need the following materials to complete your mail-in rebate(s):
- A copy of your sales invoice, paid in full. For help understanding your invoice, click here.
- The rebate form(s) or instructions sheets for each rebate program. For help obtaining rebate forms, click here.
- The serial numbers from your new appliances. For help locating your product serial numbers, click here. If you are missing your product serial numbers because your product has not yet been delivered, submit your rebate before the published deadline anyway.
- A valid personal email address that you have access to and check regularly. Do not use a business related email address under any circumstances, or your rebate may be rejected by the processor. NECO rebate programs in particular require email verification, so you must have ready access to your email inbox.
Mail-in or online rebates are a very popular promotion offered by many appliance manufacturers. Via rebates, you can save a significant amount of money on your appliance or appliance package purchase. You will see information about rebate programs throughout our web site including on individual items, in your shopping cart, and on appliance packages.
Claiming your rebate(s) requires action on your part and is not automatic. You must apply for any available rebates for which your purchase is eligible that you wish to receive. Applying for your rebates is not difficult, but you must remember to do it within the time alloted by the manufacturer or rebate provider. There are some important facts to remember about your mail-in rebates:
- Availability of a rebate program does not imply or guarantee eligibility or payment. You must apply for any and all mail-in rebates you wish you receive according to the rules published by the rebate provider; You will not automatically receive any rebates if you do not apply for them.
- Mail-in rebates are intended for individual residential customers only. Sales to commercial entities including real estate investors, developers, builders, contractors, property managers, etc. do not qualify.
- Most rebate programs are limited to one application per customer per promotional period, which could impact you if you plan on placing multiple orders at the same time. See your rebate form(s) for details.
- Rebates must be submitted under a personal name, address, email, and telephone number. Rebates cannot be submitted under a business name, or with a post office box address. Do not under any circumstances submit a rebate using a business name or business contact information. No business name or contact information may appear on your sales invoice anywhere.
- BigCentric is not your rebate provider and does not provide, guarantee, or imply eligibility for any rebate. Rebates are provided by the product manufacturers or third party rebate processors. BigCentric cannot provide payment for any rebate nor submit rebates on your behalf, influence rebate approval, and cannot provide rebate payment status. For questions regarding your already submitted rebate, contact the rebate provider directly.
- Almost all rebate payments are in the form of prepaid debit cards. Prepaid cards can be spent anywhere; You do not have to spend them at our store. See your rebate form(s) for details.
- Rebates take time to process and arrive, up to 16 weeks depending on the program.
- If your purchase was eligible for multiple rebate programs, it is normal for your rebate payments to arrive separately, and at different times.
Thousands of our customers have successfully applied for and received their mail-in rebates and you can, too! This page contains a wealth of information that can help you accurately complete your mail-in rebate(s).
Important: Take pictures of the serial number labels on your products for your records -- not the serial number labels on the boxes. You may be required to provide proof of your product serial numbers for some rebate programs. This is especially important if you will not have access to your appliances, e.g. if they are in a rental property or property you have sold.

All rebate programs specifically exclude commercial buyers and commercial entities. Rebates are designed by the manufactuers for and to apply to individual consumers. This means that you cannot apply for any rebate program under the following conditions:
- If your order was placed under a business name, LLC, co-op, or any organization or group name that is not an individual, personal name.
- If any part of your contact information -- including email address -- appears to belong to a company, corporation, LLC, or any other type of business.
- If you have claimed multiple rebates from the same rebate processor in the past.
- If your order contains multiple similar or identical appliance sets, bound for fulfilment to a commercial job site, multi-family dwelling, or business.
Per manufacturer policies, commercial buyers are
not eligible for consumer rebates. This includes property investors or house flippers. While rebate providers "may" approve your application under these circumstances, technically this is against the rules and therefore we cannot guarantee commercial purchasers will have their rebate applications approved. BigCentric is not in control of these policies and cannot make exceptions, regardless of the quantity or dollar amount of current or any other prior purchase(s). If you are commercial buyer, we advise selecting products that are not dependent on rebates.
Additionally, the rules of most rebate programs generally stipulate that consumers can qualify for only one (1) rebate application per promotion. Multiple purchases during the same rebate promotion are disqualified.
We have prepared a set of illustrated instructions for the most common rebate programs on offer. Note that providers change the look of their web sites or paper forms from time to time, so your experience may vary from the illustrated instructions provided. However, the basic procedure is always similar.
For detailed instructions, please click the logo that matches the provider of your rebate below.
You are provided with a copy of your sales invoice with every purchase. All rebate programs require a copy of your sales invoice as proof of purchase, either electronically (if your rebate is submitted online) or on paper (if submitted by mail). If you have lost your invoice or require an electronic copy of your invoice but did not receive one, contact the store or your salesperson for a replacement copy.
Your sales invoice follows a consistent format. Information from your invoice may be required to complete various rebate programs. For your reference, the location of important information found on your invoice is illustrated below.

Here is some information about rebate program payment:
- If your rebate is provided by NECO, remember that you can choose to receive either a physical or virtual prepaid card. If you are expecting a card in the mail, check your emails to ensure you did not request a virtual card instead. Click here for more information.
- Rebate processing takes time. It may take up to 16 weeks for your rebate to be processed and mailed. This time varies depending on the rebate program and current workload of the rebate provider. Busy times of year, typically around the winter holidays, results in slower rebate processing.
- If your purchase was eligible for more than one rebate, it is normal for payments to arrive separately, and at different times. Do not panic if you receive only one rebate payment at a time.

Common reasons for rebate rejection include:
- Failure to supply product serial numbers with your application.
- Incorrect serial numbers supplied with your application.
- Failure to supply sales invoice with your application.
- Applying for rebate after the published application deadline.
- Applying for more than one of the same rebate within the same promotional period.
