After you submit, here are the next steps: 
  • Due to the volume of rebates, we will process your rebate application within approximately 2-4 weeks. Please be patient with us as we are a small office working to keep up with this crazy busy program! 
  • Once your rebate has been approved, you will receive an email notification to let you know it has been approved. If there are any issues, we will reach out to you.
  • Upon approval, your reimbursement check will be mailed to your rebate address. ETA is approximately 60 days after submitting the rebate application form, but this can vary greatly due to mail delivery delays. Please allow 90 days before contacting us about your check status.
