Sears streamlines green consumer rebates

Hoffman Estates, Ill. Sears Holdings introduced a new online program Tuesday that will educate consumers about the millions of dollars available in rebates when they purchase ENERGY STAR-rated products. The retailer is also helping shoppers get rebates quicker.

The retailer launched the ENERGY STAR Rebate Center, a user-friendly research portal that is available in most Sears full-line stores. Specially designated Sears associates will walk customers through the process online while they are still in the store. This eliminates the need for shoppers to take tear pad sheets home and mail in their rebates, and it also promises to speed up the receipt of rebates.

For customers who prefer to research their appliance purchases online and determine the maximum rebate available, the retailer is inviting shoppers to visit sears.com/appliances.
