What Are Weather Rebates?

Our Risk. Your Reward.

Weather Event Rebates refund all sales when a specified weather event happens. For example, you can offer customers a full refund if a record snowfall hits your city during the promotional window.

SCA has been in business since 1986, awarding more than $241,000,000 in rebates and prizes. We calculate the odds, set a fixed premium, and pay every winning claim — so your budget is protected from day one.

Weather events create deep emotional connections with local communities. SCA weather rebates tap into that energy — making your brand part of the conversation and giving consumers a reason to buy now rather than later.

Weather Rebate Promotions

Know Your Market. Convert Customers.

Buffalo is a snow town. Phoenix knows record heat. Miami has hurricane season. Seattle has its famous rain. Every market has a weather pattern its residents talk about — and SCA can tie your next promotion to that story.

A well-placed weather rebate aligns your brand with local conditions, driving sales during the promotional window and generating the kind of community word-of-mouth no advertising budget can buy.

Weather Rebate Promotion Ideas

Pick Your Trigger Event

Any verifiable, measurable weather outcome can be the trigger for your rebate. Here are the most popular — and most effective — options SCA administers.

Record Snowfall

Offer customers a full refund if a record snowfall hits your market during the promotional window. One of the most effective and emotionally resonant weather triggers.

Record Heat

Tie your rebate to a record-high temperature in your area — a powerful summer trigger for HVAC, appliance, and outdoor retailers.

Record Cold

Run a rebate on a record-low temperature event. Drives sales for heating, apparel, and home improvement retailers during the coldest months.

Record Rainfall

A record rainstorm can be the trigger for your rebate. Customers love the novelty — and the media picks up the story every time.

Record Wind

Extreme wind events are verifiable, memorable, and rare. SCA can calculate the odds and set a fixed premium for this high-impact trigger.

Custom Milestone

Any verifiable, measurable weather milestone can be your trigger. Work with SCA to design a custom event — we calculate the odds and set a fixed coverage premium.
