Sears introduces Energy Star Rebate Center

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill. Sears has introduced an online Energy Star Rebate Center, a user-friendly and easily-identified research area is available in most Sears full-line stores.

Sears found that after an Energy Star qualified appliance purchase, customers often leave the store faced with the task of completing rebate forms at home. As a solution for customers, the Sears Blue Appliance Crew will walk customers through the process online while in the store, eliminating the need to take tear pad sheets home and mail in their rebates.

"Many people who are shopping for an appliance are unaware that there are literally millions of dollars available - money that utilities and states would love to pass along to customers," said Kevin Brown, CMO of appliances for Sears. "With Sears new Energy Star Rebate Center, the Blue Appliance Crew can quickly determine while you're in the store, if you qualify for a rebate by entering your zip code. That's something our customers really appreciate."
