How RebateScout works

Where the data comes from

Every program is drawn from an official government or utility source. We never invent amounts, eligibility, or deadlines. Each program page shows the exact official source link and the date a human last verified it.

How we keep it current

An automated pipeline re-checks sources on a schedule and flags anything that changed. A changed program is pulled from the live site and re-reviewed before it reappears — changes never silently alter what you see. Our what-changed log is the public record of this.

How we verify before publishing

Software produces a first-pass extraction of each program’s facts, quoting the exact source sentence for every value. A human reviewer then confirms each figure against that source, and a second person gives final approval before anything goes live. Three checks, and only the last one publishes.

What we are not

RebateScout is an independent guide, not a government agency, and not financial advice. Programs change; always confirm the details with the official provider before you apply. See our full disclaimer.
