In a settlement with the states, Menards has agreed to clearly communicate the limitations of the rebate program to their customers and disclose all applicable terms and conditions in a readily available manner.

"Iowans deserve to know the best ways they can spend and save their hard-earned money,” said Attorney General Bird. “We are happy to work with Menards to make sure the details of their rebates are transparent to the many Iowans who shop there and take advantage of the program.”  

Menards has also agreed to the following:  

• Allow consumers at least one year from the date of purchase to submit a rebate claim 

• Update their online rebate tracker with information about the rebate claim within 48 hours of the application being input into Menards’ system 

• Update their online rebate tracker with additional information about the rebate, including updates about returns affecting the rebate
