Customers Get a $200 Rebate on 401(k) Easy by Showing Valid Proof of Purchase of Your Product or Service

Having your customers "qualify" for the $200 401(k) Easy rebate is easy:

-- The customer lists your company, the registered Product Tie-in Partner, in the "How did you hear about us?" section of our order form.

-- The customer then also provides us with proof of purchase of your product or service.

-- You define "proof of purchase" of your product or service in your Product Tie-in Partner Application; you can change your definition at any time by notifying us in writing.

-- No-load mutual fund investment companies:
"Proof of purchase" is as simple as the customer requesting your investments be its 401k plan's investments.

-- Software and other product or service companies:
Define "proof of purchase" as broadly or narrowly as you wish. For instance, require merely a valid sales receipt or also require that the sale be within a stated time period, such as the last six months. Contact us if you need help.
