ByHow to Claim Your Costco Rebate Check
Companies usually use rebates to attract customers to purchase more from them. While it's a great marketing tactic, most companies know that customers won't go through with their rebate claims. Many companies place hurdles on the way to make claiming rebates difficult. However, if you want to go ahead with your rebate claim from a company such as Costco, DoNotPay can help. With DoNotPay, you can get your Costco rebate check with no hassle.
What Is a Rebate and How Do They Work?
Rebates and discounts seem like they work the same way, but they are two different things. Discounts are usually applied to items to reduce their purchase price at the point of purchase. Once the discount is applied, it goes into effect, reducing the amount you'll have to pay for the discounted item.
Rebates are on the other end of the spectrum. They are somewhat like discounts but are applied after a purchase. Whenever you buy an item that offers a rebate, you will pay its total price during checkout. Then, you can apply for the money to be refunded at a later date.
Companies like offer rebates on selected items and have certain conditions that their customers may have to meet to get their refunds. The conditions may be volume-based, special pricing agreements, or only on select items. You can claim your rebates in several ways.
However, the most common methods of applying for a Costco rebate are a mail-in form and filling out an online form.
Why Do Companies Offer Rebates?
Companies may offer rebates for various reasons. They often know a customer may never go through with the claim or may never see the rebate offer, so they offer up to 100% cashback on selected products. Let's take a look at why a company may offer rebates.
| To get you to buy the product. | Everyone loves a good deal. If you find one that provides a particular percentage of cashback, you'll naturally get excited to get it, and brands know this. They understand that if they place the promise of cashback on an item or two, you may be inclined to buy their items. |
| To boost their brand. | After purchasing an item from a company, you may get drawn to some of their other products to see if they have similar rebate offers. By doing so, you're boosting the brand and unknowingly becoming a loyal customer since you may keep coming back to the same product to look for the same offer. |
| To keep you coming back for more. | Some companies work with various retailers to offer their customers rebates in the form of an in-store credit. After your rebate arrives in the mail or is added to your Costco card, you'll be excited to want to apply it to your immediate visit. The excitement may translate to you wanting to purchase more than you had planned to get more store credit. |
