Q: How will I know how many energy rebate claims remain?

Q: When will I receive my energy rebate?

A: Rebates will be paid into claimants’ accounts approximately 6 - 8 weeks from the date the claim is received & verified by Panasonic. Panasonic accepts no responsibility for rebates being paid after this time.

Panasonic cannot guarantee exactly when the rebate will be paid into each claimant’s account. Therefore, Panasonic encourages claimants to continue to pay their electricity bills in full & on time (to avoid any additional fees being incurred or the electricity being disconnected due to failure to pay the bill by the due date). Panasonic cannot be held liable for a failure by the customer to pay their electricity bill on time & in accordance with the electricity dealer’s terms of business. Panasonic will not be liable for any late payment fees, disconnection or re-connection fees as a result of a late payment or failure to pay.

Q: How will my energy rebate be paid?

A: Your energy rebate will be paid directly into your electricity account by a BPAY® payment When you submit your claim you will be required to provide a copy of both sides of a recent electricity bill, including your electricity account details, your BPAY® Biller Code & BPAY® Customer Reference Number & the full name of the person in which the account is held.

Q: I don’t want to disclose my electricity account details, what can I do?

A: In order to participate in this promotion, individuals must consent to Panasonic making a payment to their nominated electricity account & therefore you need to disclose your electricity account details. Individuals who do not consent to Panasonic making a payment to their nominated electricity account are not eligible to participate. All details provided are held securely by Panasonic.

Q: I am not the account holder with our energy provider; can I still claim an energy rebate?

A: In the event that the claimant is not the account holder, they must have obtained permission from the account holder in order to claim & send through the electricity bill. They must also ensure that the account holder has read & agreed to the Terms & Conditions. It is important that the electricity account holders name appears in your claim under the “Account name” field, this name must match the name on the electricity bill.

Q: I pay my electricity bill via a set (e.g. fortnightly or monthly) direct debit agreement with my energy provider. Am I eligible to claim the energy rebate?

A: Yes, the energy rebate payment is not linked to how you have chosen to pay your current electricity bills. To claim the rebate you simply have to follow the steps as outlined on this website. If your claim has been deemed valid the energy rebate will be transferred into your electricity account by a BPAY payment. If you would like to use the rebate to pay off your electricity bill you will have to contact your energy provider and advise them to do so. Please bear in mind that we cannot guarantee exactly when the rebate will be paid into your account. We therefore encourage you to continue to pay your electricity bills in full and on time (to avoid any additional fees being incurred or the electricity being disconnected due to failure to pay the bill by the due date). We cannot be held liable for a failure by the customer to pay their electricity bill on time and in accordance with the electricity provider's terms of business. We will not be liable for any late payment fees, disconnection or re-connection fees as a result of a late payment or failure to pay.
