Rain Bird Rewards Program FAQ
What are the different Rewards levels?
No purchase, training or professional certification requirements. All contractors in the United States and Canada are eligible.
When does my Level change based on my purchases?
You are automatically upgraded to the next level throughout the year once you reach the next purchase level.
How will my purchase level affect the following year’s point earnings?
If you have been enrolled in the Rewards Program for more than a year you will begin earning points at the last level earned in the prior year, as long as you buy more than $10,000.
Example: If you purchased a total of $21,000 in 2023, you were at Level II. In 2024, you will begin earning points at the Level II rate (4%) and your points will become available for redemption once you exceed $10,000 in purchases.
Do I earn points on purchases below $10,000?
You earn points from your first dollar earned, but your points are not available for redemption until you purchase more than $10,000 each year.
Can I combine purchases for two years to qualify for points?
No. You cannot combine purchases for multiple years to qualify for points in one year
How do I submit my Rain Bird purchases to the Rewards program?
As a member of the Rewards Program it is your responsibility to ensure that your purchases are reported to Rain Bird.
There are two ways to report your purchases to Rain Bird.
- Many distributors may send quarterly reports of your Rain Bird purchases directly to the Rewards Program Office. Please check with your distributor to find out whether they will send in a purchase report for your company.
- Complete a Rain Bird Rewards Invoice Submission Form every quarter for Rain Bird products purchased and paid for during that quarter.
