Rebate
A credit or return of money after fuel purchases, usually based on gallons, location or program terms.
Why It Matters
A rebate is money returned after fuel purchases, usually based on gallon volume or account tiers. Unlike a pump discount, a rebate may take time to post and depends on qualifying terms.
What to Check
- Confirm how the rebate is calculated, when it posts and what the minimum gallon threshold is.
- Ask whether the rebate arrives as a statement credit, check or account adjustment.
- Compare the expected rebate against a cents-per-gallon discount at your actual monthly volume.
