Frequently asked questions
Answers to common questions about applying for promotional rewards through the Reward Claim Portal.
About the Reward Claim Portal
What is the Reward Claim Portal?
The Reward Claim Portal is the official website used to apply for a promotional reward.
Who runs the Reward Claim Portal?
The portal is operated by DEKRA Arbeit GmbH, which manages the application and reward process on behalf of the promotion organizer. The full legal details are in the General Terms and Conditions of the Reward Claim Portal.
Is this a legitimate website?
Yes. The Reward Claim Portal is an official system for managing promotional reward claims.
Why am I applying through the Reward Claim Portal?
The promotion organizer uses DEKRA Arbeit GmbH and the Reward Claim Portal to manage applications, check eligibility and arrange rewards.
Registration
How many times can I apply?
One eligible product = one application = one reward claim, unless the promotion's Terms and Conditions specify otherwise.
What if I buy more than one eligible product?
You can apply once for each eligible product.
Each product must meet the requirements of the promotion.
Can I submit the same application twice?
No. Each eligible product can only be used for one application.
Can I use the same receipt more than once?
No. A receipt cannot be used again for the same product. If your receipt covers more than one eligible product, the promotion's Terms and Conditions say whether each product can be claimed.
What information does the system check?
The system checks the details of your product and purchase, for example the product identification number, the receipt number, the purchase date and where you bought the product. It also checks whether the same product or receipt has already been used in another application.
What happens if my application is rejected?
You will normally receive an email explaining why your application was rejected.
Depending on the reason, you may be able to submit a new application after correcting the issue, as long as the promotion period has not ended.
When can I apply?
You can apply during the promotion period.
The dates are shown on the promotion page and in the Terms and Conditions.
Can I apply after the deadline?
No. The application form closes when the promotion period ends.

How long do you keep my data?
Normally, your personal data is deleted six months after the promotion ends.
Product and purchase details, such as the product identification number and purchase date, are kept without your name, contact details or photos, so that the same product cannot be claimed twice.
