PBA Member Rebate Program


Member Rebate Program


The Pennsylvania Builders Assocation introduced the PBA Member Rebate Program in November 2006. The program is aimed at increasing YOUR bottom line. All you have to do is notify the PBA about the products you use & tell them when you close on a home and you'll be putting money back in YOUR pocket.

When you participate in this program you can count on receiving checks every quarter.

Benefits of participating . . .
     The biggest perk? Money. Cold, hard cash. And all for just remaining loyal to many of the country's leading manufacturers you already use in all of your homes. Lump-sum checks for closed homes are mailed quarterly.

No change is needed in your business practices . . .
     Besides the money, the next-best part of the program is that it relies on very little effort from you & doesn't change the way you conduct business. Best of all you do NOT have to change the way you currently buy. We do the paperwork, collect the money and mail you the quarterly checks directly.

How to register . . .
     Obtaining the benefit for your loyalty couldn't be easier. Simply complete and tear off the card attached to the brochure found on PBA's website. You can also register online at
www.pabuilders.org.

Detailed manufacturer information available . . .
     You will be sent a Manufacturer Guide that details the information that is needed per home from the manufacturers you have used.


DON'T MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY!!!

     Send in your application NOW and we'll make your membership retroactive to the beginning of the year. That means we can collect for all of the homes you have closed so far this year. Don't let this opportunity pass you by - you can't afford not to participate.


FAQ'S

(1) Do I have to change the way I do business?
You don't need to! You still utilize the same suppliers and continue conducting your business as usual. The only requirement to qualify for a rebate is that you use two or more of our manufacturers.

(2) What if my subcontractors buy all products?
The manufacturers are rewarding loyalty with these rebates. If you are specifying the product to your subcontractors, then you are affecting the sale and therefore qualify for the rebate.

(3) Must I align with ALL participating manufacturers?
No. In fact, a builder only needs to use two of our manufacturers at a minimum to qualify for a rebate.

(4) Do I have to save my receipts?
There are no receipts necessary to process your rebate claim. We have made the rebate program as simple as possible. Instead of receipts, we use our manufacturers' salespeople in your area to check that their products were used.

(5) Why do manufacturers want to reward me?
Manufacturers recognize that the small-to-midsize  builder is the largest segment of the building industry, and they are rewarding those builders with rebates through PBA.

(6) Is my company big enough to qualify?
Yes! As a PBA member, you have combined buying power equivalent to a Top-10 builder.

(7) What if i don't renew my association membership?
This program is a member-only benefit. If you leave PBA, you are no longer able to participate.
