Share scan data of your tobacco sales to receive rebates on cartons and cans.
Offer multi-pack discounts and loyalty discounts to
your consumers.
Maximize your customer's savings and drive sales.
Tobacco manufacturers now offer multiple rebates on select tobacco products, giving you more in your pocket and enabling you to provide competitive pricing to your consumers. With CITGO and PDI CStore Essentials, you have all you need to take advantage of these rebates.
How It Works
Promotions & Scanning
Display tobacco discounts in-store. When tobacco purchases are scanned at checkout, data is
being collected.
Automatic Reporting
A report is generated from the scan data, including the product description, regular sale price, and
discounts applied.
Automatic Submission
The scan data report is then submitted automatically to the tobacco vendor for review.
Receive Rebates
In exchange for the scan data report, the tobacco vendor disburses rebates back to you.
