I think the rebate was only for a couple sections of the catalog, but I might be wrong.

To my knowledge, it is for the whole catalogue.

Yes, I did that surprise event more than once. As I play many households, I picked household who might need new furnitures or other changes to their homes for the event.

The rabate was not found in the build- and buy catalogue, but was added to the household fund later.

Ah yes. It might have been the full catalogue. I don't recall why it was not possible to my sims to join in. Maybe they were saving up for something expensive that they could not afford yet anyway.

It's a good event to poor sims, and I'll surely find someone to benefit from it :smile:

Does anyone here know what exactly is the purpose of Rebate Day? I got this today and I am not sure what to do. It says I'll get 10 percent off but I haven't seen it yet?
I bought something 500 dollars or more and it completed the tradition, and I've got some money back for it in the notifications.. but I still don't get how I am supposed to get 10% off..?

It isn’t 10% off. A rebate means you will get money back, so the money you got back in the notifications was the rebate. I bought a $900S bed, so I’ll be getting $90S back.

My question is, how many days later does it come in? The day after, I heard the money deposit sound happen and quickly saw a green money symbol but was too slow to see how much it was. I’m not sure where the money came from as my sim was just watching tv, so does it come in the next day?

I think it does come same day or next day. I did some shopping on Rebate Day and noticed a chunk come back the next day, I think?

I suppose it's a handy holiday if you play without cash cheat or move in your Sims using freerealestate. I hardly ever use the rebate for that reason.

I like this event actually, though it always seems to happen at inconvenient times. First time I didn't realize you had to spend $500 on a single item for it to count. It was a starter so everything I purchased was cheap. Over $500 altogether. Didn't count. After that I realized my mistake and it was fine until recently. I've noticed with a few of the events this one anand the lottery in particular that even though you fulfill them properly, they don't actually count. Very annoying. Not sure why it's happening. Hope they sort it out. Otherwise its a good event. Nice way to get a little back.
