Frequently Asked Questions
How much are my points worth?
You will earn 1 point for every $2 of products purchased
and paid for. The value of a point is $0.02 per point.
Do all my purchases qualify?
All purchases qualify except for specified purchases such as pump stations,
or specially ordered items (determined on an individual basis).
Who is this program for?
Individuals who are owners or key employees of contracting businesses who purchase product from AIS. This program is typically unavailable for municipalities and government agencies.
Will I receive a 1099 when I redeem my points?
Generally we will not be issuing 1099s.
Do I lose my points at the end of the year?
No, they will roll over to future years.
Am I in any danger of losing my points?
Points remain valid as long as members have made a purchase with
AIS within the past year. If a full year passes without any
purchases by a member, that member's points are forfeited
and their rewards membership is terminated.
How long can I save my points?
You can save points as long as you like, provided you continue
to purchase from AIS at least once per year. The points will not
be expiring in the foreseeable future, however, if the program is
cancelled, members will be given plenty of notice to redeem their
points prior to cancellation. Upon such notification, Automatic
Irrigation is not financially liable to dispense money to members
who fail to redeem by the deadline. But again, this program is set
to be in place for the foreseeable future, with no end date in sight.
Does this mean there will be no more AIS trips?
At this point, no current trip is planned. We will
evaluate this in the coming years to see if
there is sufficient support to plan a trip.
Can I use my points to pay my bill?
You will be able to redeem your points and apply as a credit on your account. There will be no cash payout, but you can use the credit against any purchases.
Is there a minimum purchase
amount to be in the program?
There is no minimum purchase. You will earn points for all paid purchases.
However, there will be a minimum point redemption level. For example,
you will need at least 5,000 points to make any redemption.
If there is something I want how do I make sure I get it?
Talk to us. Notify your salesperson of your interest.
What if I don’t have enough points to redeem for
what I want, can I pay the difference?
Yes, we will accept payment for the balance,
using the $0.02 per point formula.
Can I use my Rain Bird Rewards points in your program?
Yes, you can use your Rain Bird Rewards distributor
credits toward any redemption that you wish.
Will there be other opportunities throughout
the year to gain additional points?
We will run specials throughout the year to give you
opportunities to earn extra points.
