Why Brands Use Rebates

More Than a Refund

A rebate is a sales activation tool. When designed correctly, rebate programs drive measurable growth — not just reimbursements.

Drive Trial
Reduce the purchase risk that stops new consumers from trying your product for the first time. A verified rebate turns hesitation into action.
Acquisition
Increase Basket Size
Reward larger purchases, multi-unit buys, or cross-category bundles. Spend thresholds and quantity requirements drive up average transaction value.
Basket Growth
Drive Repeat Purchase
Create ongoing incentives that keep consumers coming back. Multi-purchase mechanics reward the behavior that builds long-term brand loyalty.
Retention
Support Retail Partners
Activate retailer-specific promotions, exclusive offers, and co-funded programs that strengthen retail relationships and drive in-store performance.
Retail Activation
Generate Shopper Insights
Every verified submission produces first-party purchase data — retailer, SKU, basket, timing, geography — that brand teams cannot get elsewhere.
First-Party Data
Measure Results
Tie every reward to a verified purchase. Rebate programs built on purchase validation produce clean, credible performance data brands can act on.
Measurable ROI
How It Works

A Simple Process.
A Verified Outcome.

Six steps from consumer submission to confirmed reward — fully automated, fully logged, and fully auditable.

1
Submit
Consumers submit receipts, invoices, or purchase documentation through the program experience — mobile web, microsite, or text-to-submit.
2
Verify
Purchase eligibility is automatically validated. Retailer, qualifying SKU, spend level, and transaction details are confirmed against program rules.
3
Approve
Program logic determines qualification. Rules are fully configurable — SKU requirements, quantity thresholds, spend minimums, retailer eligibility, and more.
4
Reward
Approved consumers receive their rebate through the selected reward method. Fulfillment is handled end-to-end — no manual processing required.
5
Report
Brands gain real-time visibility into participation, payouts, approval rates, retailer performance, and campaign ROI throughout the program.
6
Optimize
Use shopper insights from verified submissions to refine offer strategy, improve targeting, and strengthen future programs.

Fraud Mitigation

Protect Every Rebate Dollar

Purchase-based promotions naturally attract fraudulent activity. TPG employs multiple layers of controls designed to identify suspicious submissions and help maintain program integrity.

Duplicate Detection
Identifies when the same receipt or transaction is submitted multiple times to prevent duplicate payouts.
Receipt Validation
Analyzes receipt images for signs of alteration, manipulation, or fabrication before qualification is granted.
Purchase Verification
Cross-references transaction data — retailer, date, SKU, and total — to confirm submissions represent real purchases.
Behavior Analysis
Monitors submission patterns to flag abnormal frequency, velocity, or activity clusters that indicate organized abuse.
Eligibility Controls
Confirms geographic, age, and program-specific eligibility requirements are met before a claim is approved.
Manual Review Processes
Flagged submissions receive human review — ensuring edge cases and ambiguous claims are handled appropriately.
The objective: reduce abuse while maintaining a positive consumer experience.

Geographic Trends
Participation and redemption patterns by region, DMA, and market — for targeting and planning.
Campaign ROI
Total investment vs. verified purchase value generated — the numbers that matter at the brand review.
