Bosch's Newest Web Site Helps Shoppers Find More Appliance Rebates and Quickly Print-Out Claim Forms

Powered by ApplianceRebate.com -- the Database Combines Incentives From Bosch, Local Utilities, Retailers, and the State Energy Efficient Appliance Rebate Program

Bosch home appliances unveiled the next generation of its popular Bosch Rebate Resource Center, launched last fall. Where the previous version combined the latest Bosch rebates with links to potential state, municipal, and retailer incentives; the new site pulls the most current data from multiple databases, provides downloadable (PDF) claim forms, and guides the customer through the redemption process.

"Customers told us they love the concept of rebates, but can be overwhelmed by the task of searching for every available rebate they're eligible for," said John Farley, senior environmental and brand marketing manager for Bosch Home Appliances. "By partnering with ApplianceRebate.com, Bosch has made the rebate process more efficient, just like our appliances."

Consumers simply fill in their zip code and the desired appliance category and the Bosch Rebate Resource Center pulls up every currently available incentive. The site's ApplianceRebate.com search engine harnesses the same source of data as the Environmental Protection Agency to identify zip code boundaries for utility and municipality rebates. Moreover, the information is continually monitored by research staff to update and aggregate all available rebates. "You simply print out the forms, follow the instructions, and send them in," says Farley.

The Bosch Rebate Resource Center was created to help appliance shoppers year-round, including people who need to replace their appliances now and can't wait until the new state rebates take effect; people who want the best possible deal during their state's program; and people who enter the appliance market long after their state's rebate program is over.

Current Bosch Rebates:

-- Up to $150 in rebates on the purchase of a Linea refrigerator (through June 30, 2010). Up to $900 on select Bosch kitchen packages -- including refrigeration, cooktops, ovens, dishwashers and/or ventilation (through May 31, 2010)
