The concept of rebate offerings is becoming increasingly popular in mainstream stores. Rebates of the 21st century are typically offered by websites specializing in rebates. But rebates have not always been such a niche. Rebates, which are partial or full paybacks of money made after purchase, have been around for a while. Rebates were first used in America in 1868 by the Railroad Industry, and at the time, they were called drawbacks. Oil tycoon John D Rockefeller would ship his oil across the country using railroads. He would choose his rail services based on which company could offer him the best rebates. Using Rebates, Rockefeller was able to consistently save huge amounts of money on large shipments of oil. He would then pass those savings on to his customers. His mission in life was to deliver "the best oil, at the best price" and he credited railroad rebates for helping him do it.
These days Rebates are everywhere, and one of the newest members to the Rebate space is Lowes. Lowes has set up their Rebate program, named the Lowes Rebate Center, and they are offering checks, gift cards, and prepaid cards at most stores. Rather than offer pricing discounts, Lowes will send customers money back on purchases they have made. This program can be reached by searching for lowes.com/rebates.
Many of the midwest locations have expanded their rebate program even further, offering 11% cash back on the majority of products sold in stores. So if you are in the Midwest, make sure to check out a Lowes Store today!
Lowes Rebate Center requires proof of purchase and contact info to receive their cashback like a typical rebate redemption. Customers can visit lowes-rebates.com, type in their offer number, add their contact info, and submit it to redeem the rebate. Rebates are being offered in the form of a check, prepaid card, or Lowes gift card with a processing time frame of six to eight weeks. This time frame is slightly longer for people who choose to mail in their rebate rather than submit it online.
To find out if a recent purchase you made at Lowes is available for a Rebate, visit the Lowes Rebate Center Site and click the "Current Rebate Offers" button on the far right. From there, you can search for your rebate using the product model number found on your receipt. If your item is eligible for a rebate, the details and promotion requirements will be displayed online!
If you lost your receipt, you can still redeem your rebate by logging into your Lowe's account and looking up your order history. If you do not have a Lowes account, you can contact customer care, and they should be able to redeem your purchase history.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had a horrible effect on people and businesses around the world. Some of the businesses hit hardest by Covid-19 closures were Young America and Ecorebates, which acted as Lowes Rebate Center. Lowes uses a third-party rebate center that unexpectedly closed during Covid-19. Lowes' lost their entire rebate database in this closure. This closure resulted in hundreds, if not thousands, of extremely delayed rebates. Some frustrated customers experienced payout delays of over six months.
Unfortunately, many customers had to reach out to Lowes in order to receive updates. Customers who did reach out to Lowes received instructions to resubmit their rebate either by email or the online rebate center. Customers who did not reach out to Lowes did not receive an update. This failure by Lowes to manage their database created extra work for customers and added to their dissatisfaction and confusion. Many of the resubmitted rebate requests were also extremely delayed. However, Lowes was left with no choice, as they did not have access to their old rebate records. Some customers even ended up receiving apology gift cards via email from Lowes rather than their rebates. People were so upset with the Lowes's handling of their Rebates that they resorted to contacting the Attorney General, The Better Business Bureau, and even the Federal Trade Commission to complain. The Covid-19 Pandemic is slowly but surely ending. Meaning Young America and EcoRebates are up and operating again, though they are still navigating their large backlog from the last year.
If you are one of the thousands of Lowes customers that still haven't received a Rebate from the home improvement giant, there are a few courses of action you can take. Don't forget, you are still entitled to your rebate even if it has been a long time since your initial submission! Start by submitting your rebate again, either by mail or at lowes.com, to restart the redemption process. You can also contact Lowe's customer service or speak with a representative to see if they can expedite the process or give you any updates. Asking a Lowe's representative if they can offer you a gift card to resolve the issue has been a successful option for many customers. Lowes representatives are also recommending customers contact their third-party rebate processing company, EcoRebates, as they might give more accurate updates through the process.
Check out the Lowes website to see what is available at the Lowes Rebate Center today. Lowes offers rebates on a wide array of products. Large appliances like state-of-the-art refrigerators and brand-new washing machines are available on the rebate program. Smaller items like microwaves, vacuum cleaners, and even paint are also available. Lowes has thousands of dollars worth of rebate offers on their site.
