Examples of rebateable items include:

1. Electronics: Many electronics companies offer rebates on certain products to encourage customers to purchase them. For example, a company might offer a $50 rebate on a new smartphone.
2. Home appliances: Some retailers offer rebates on home appliances, such as refrigerators or washing machines, to help customers save money on their purchases.

To qualify for a rebate, customers typically need to meet certain conditions, such as purchasing the item within a specific time period or submitting proof of purchase. The rebate amount is usually sent to the customer in the form of a check or credit towards their next purchase.
