Cash for Appliances – limited window of opportunity
Posted By RichC on March 28, 2010
We’ve been thinking about replacing our humble (less than functional) dishwasher for a couple years now and the latest government giveaway stimulus program is just the push we needed. There is a small window of opportunity and a limited number of dollars available for each state to stimulate consumers to upgrade their existing appliances with new “Qualified ENERGY STAR®” rated model.
For us that means applying for an Ohio “Reservation” for a rebate of $100 – dishwasher amount. The online site to apply for this was busy on Saturday (and Friday – see news clip below) and took a little bit to navigate. I also noticed the number of reservation for dishwashers disappearing fast. I think most people will also be surprised by the limited window of opportunity – March 26, 2010 – April 19, 2010. So if you are thinking about applying for a new appliance rebate, do it soon and don’t forget your Proof of Recycling Form PDF.
Note: after receiving your “reservation,” you’ll have 3 days in which to make the purchase and complete the final steps before your “reservation” expires.
Reservation Appliance Type:
DISHWASHER
Reward Amount: $100.00

Your rebate reservation has been made. You have now completed Step 1 of the 3-step process
Next Steps:
