MAPGA PREF DUTY TO WARN REBATE PROGRAM

 This rebate is designed to reimburse a propane marketer for some of the expense associated with mailing duty to warn information to their customers – residential and/or commercial. Marketers that choose to participate will purchase Duty to Warn materials that they need, have them shipped to their office, and submit a receipt or proof of purchase to MAPGA. MAPGA will then reimburse up to $500 per marketer. Please find that program application here.
