    Thanks OP!.
    submitted it in yesterday morning.

    still in progress for now.

    • Jimmyolo on 22/09/2023 - 18:30

        did they email you approve or you just need to check bank account?

    I want to purchase a fridge for my mum who is a pensioner. Does the invoice have to have her name and address on it to get the rebate. Anyone know about this?

    • leeroys_dad on 08/09/2023 - 18:15
      +1

      I don't think so, as it could get delivered to another property and picked up etc, but the applicant will need to declare (and match details) that is for them at their residential property and need to show rates/id

    • wardrop on 08/09/2023 - 19:14

      No. Nothing in the elgibility criteria or application process mentioned this. It's a declaration/trust based system. I purchased a dryer for example on behalf of my mum through my partners Good Guys commercial account. The money didn't come out of her account, and the invoice doesn't mention her name or address, but I don't anticipate it being a problem.

      The main control measure they have to limit abuse is that once an invoice, residence and persons name are used, they can't be re-used. For someone to make multiple claims, they'd have to have seperate invoices, and declare seperate residences under different peoples names. If you've got family members that don't want to claim, then it'd be pretty straight forward for you to use their name and residence to claim a rebate on a second purchase, as long as that family member is happy to "delcare" that the appliance is replacing an appliance for use at their residence.

    I ended up replacing my fridge with the scheme. Paid $695 for the fridge inc delivery, with a $600 rebate. Already received the rebate in my account, before the cc statement was due.

    So <$100 net for a new 4 star 410ltr fridge. Not bad.

    Thanks ciab.

    • Jay-rad on 09/09/2023 - 07:36

      Link for which you got? Thanks Chris

        Ok, it's kind of complicated.

        So I wanted a fridge with a 5 year warranty and 700mm wide, and 4 star energy to qualify for the rebate. And cheap, because I'm a tightarse.

        I picked the Chiq CTM410NW. If you register online, the warranty is 5 years.

        Since I had an old fridge I wanted taken away (laundry fridge ~25 years old - it was knackered, seals need replacing, inefficient, door didn't close properly), I needed a delivery service who both delivers and unpacks the fridge, as well as takes the old one away.

        Cheapest I found was Appliances Online at $761 all up. But they were out of stock until 20th October. As I was worried about the fund running out of money before then, I started ringing around and the only place that had stock locally was Harvey Norman (boo, hiss, etc).

        So I got them to price match the $761 price inc delivery and removal of old fridge. They wrote the receipt up as $666 for the fridge and $95 for delivery.

        Fridge was delivered the next day, but it had a small dent in the door (~1mm, maybe a screwdriver point?). Probably made at the factory as the plastic covering wasn't damaged. Anyway I could have 1) swapped it for a new one the next day or 2) got another 10% off for the dent.

        So I got another 10% ($66) so the fridge after dent rebate was $695 including delivery and removal of old fridge. Less the $600 rebate, total cost to me was $95.

        Estimate to repair the old fridge was $200 for new seals and labour, $150 for new door hinge and labour, plus $110 call out fee for a total of $460, and I'd still have a 25 year old, inefficient fridge.

        Do they not send a receipt when you submit the order?

        • MaximumEffort777 on 15/09/2023 - 18:22

          Nope, just an order confirmation. The receipt/invoice gets sent on the day it’s delivered or picked up.

    https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/98666

    Great news :) Looks like we will all be getting our refund. The important bits:

    The energy efficient appliance cashback program which was originally budgeted at $22 million and estimated to benefit about 40,000 Queensland families will now be doubled.

    The initial $22 million cashback offer was flooded with over 10,000 applications already received and the government is rapidly working through the approvals process.

    The average cash-back provided is about $420.

  • Bobjarts948 on 12/09/2023 - 10:59

    I assume that if you for instance had 3 aircons put in you can't claim the up to $1000, only $400? And I saw it mention that it has to replace an old appliance, but the proof etc doesn't mention anything of that, so ignore it and lodge anyway?

        I had to ring to find out. Turns out the lease the real estate agent sent through last time had the wrong date on it. Instead of asking for clarification they just denied and I had to reapply

        • leeroys_dad on 23/09/2023 - 14:40

          Do you not have a s copy of the lease?

          • Eldub on 23/09/2023 - 15:25

            @leeroys_dad: Apparently not. It seems the real estate sent the old one through after we signed the new one, it's got the old rent amount on it too. I just assumed we were sent the copy we'd just signed.

            No issue, still waiting to receive our washing machine anyway so technically still not eligible until that gets here. I imagine there's a massive backlog of orders now as we're well past when it was supposed to arrive

  • AE on 23/09/2023 - 15:08

    Yes, because appliances online didn't deliver when they said they would and the new delivery date is 6 weeks away, I technically didn't have the product. Although I paid in full that same day and the old delivery date was well within the 2 weeks that the gov needed to process my application. So totally out of my control. Anyways I have wasted to much time researching dishwashers/finding good value ones in Brisbane that I decided to cancel and give up, at least $400 saved…I have to tell myself😅.

    I am really starting to hate whoever designed this claims process. I'm completing this process for an elderly relative and had to drive across town 3 times now to retrieve documents, where the need isn't disclosed until you can pass to the next page. Utilities bill, bank statements etc. Now at the end they require forms of ID she does not possess Passport, Drivers license & Medicare. None of this stuff was disclosed in the scheme eligibility requirements.

      They didn't make it easy that's for sure. Had a similar issue with my Mum. She doesn't have a driver's licence either. She does have a government issued pension card and Adult ID card and neither are accepted. Which is absolutely ridiculous, especially when the amount of ID you need to get those in the first place.
      I rang up about it and they said there's nothing that can be done. I can see alot of pensioners missing out on this rebate. Sad really.

            Assistance is available for Queenslanders who can't access the portal or submit an online application (e.g. if you require a paper form) by calling 13 QGOV (13 74 68)

        My elderly relative just received her payment on Friday (submitted 18-Sep), using the Medicare and Qld Adult ID/Proof of Age card.

        When I rang the dept as I was helping with her online application, it was advised to enter the Adult ID card details as a Drivers license. It prompts for License State (in this case, Qld) , License Number (the Reference Number from the front of the card) and Card Number (from the back).

        You may need to check to see if this is still the case.

            @pufffdragon: In the past online QLD id verification, I've had it reject when I included middle name from my license. No idea if that will help here though.
