WHAT ARE CAT® CREDITS?

Cat Credits are an immediate credit discount you can use toward your next qualifying Cat purchase. Save your cash and use Cat® Credits to pay for qualifying purchases including parts and services over the counter at your local Cat dealer or through an approved Cat online retailer, either Parts.cat.com or Cat Central.** Here’s how to earn and redeem them.

EARN

The most common way to earn Cat Credits is through special promotions: Caterpillar, your Cat dealer, Cat Financial or other vendors approved by Caterpillar may offer Cat Credits as part of a special offer or incentive. Participate and you get to take home those credits.

Eligible Cat Card accountholders are automatically enrolled in the Cat Vantage Rewards program. With Cat Vantage Rewards, you can earn points on qualifying Cat Card purchases* and can earn additional points when shopping on approved Cat online retailers. Those points are redeemable for Cat Credits. Visit cat.com/getrewards to see all the ways you can earn and spend Cat Vantage Rewards.

Cat Vantage Rewards are currently only available in the U.S. and Canada.

REDEEM

Cat Credits come to you via an emailed certificate from Cat Financial after you receive an award of Cat Credits through a promotional program or redeem Cat Vantage Rewards points.

Apply them over the counter at your Cat dealer. It’s simple. Just print the electronic certificate attached to the email and bring it with you. Or just show your dealer the certificate on your phone.

USE THEM - DON'T LOSE THEM!

Cat Credits do expire, so make sure to check the expiration date on your electronic certificate. Expiration dates may vary, but you typically have one year from the day your Cat Credits are issued to use them. Once that expiration date passes, you won’t be able to access any unused credits. Your dealer can’t extend the expiration date, either. Neither Caterpillar nor any of its dealers are responsible for lost or stolen Cat Credits.

Rules Governing Cat Credits

North America

Caterpillar customers who have received a Cat Credits electronic certificate (referred to below as the e-Certificate), whether awarded due to redemption of Cat Vantage Rewards or through another customer incentive program, must use the Cat Credits in accordance with all rules set forth below and any stated on the e-Certificate.

  • Cat Credits may be used to purchase parts, service, sales, rental and work tools at a participating Cat dealer, The Cat Rental Store or at any other participating dealer or authorized vendor in the country of issuance (such purchases are “Qualifying Purchases”). New machines may not be purchased with Cat Credits.
  • Cat Credits are not legal tender and cannot be redeemed for cash or cash equivalents (such as gift cards or gift certificates).
  • If a customer is permitted by a participating dealer or other authorized vendor to return a purchase made with Cat Credits, such customer will not be refunded in cash or cash equivalent any portion of the cost of the purchase covered with the Cat Credit. If the Cat Credit used for the purchase has not yet expired as of the date of the return, the customer shall receive a refund of the value of the prior-applied discount back to the original Cat Credits record and the original expiration date shall apply.
  • Cat Credits may not be used to purchase items for personal, family or household use.
  • Customers will have a set amount of time to use the Cat Credits from the date of its issuance. The issuance date is stated on the face of the Cat Credits e-Certificate.
  • If Cat Credits are part of a Cat Vantage Rewards redemption, such Cat Credits will expire one year from the date of issuance.
  • Expiration dates on Cat Credits may vary. Please check the e-Certificate details to determine the applicable expiration date. Cat Credits expire at 4 p.m. (CST) on the designated expiration date. Once the Cat Credits e-Certificate has expired, unused credits are forfeited.  Cat Credits cannot be extended. Cat Credits e-Certificate holders not redeeming the full value of their Cat Credits by the expiration date of such credits will not be able to recover the unused credits.
  • Cat Credits, whether earned from Cat Vantage Rewards or granted through another customer incentive program, may not be used towards satisfying balances on any indebtedness held by Caterpillar Financial, or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, including Caterpillar Financial Commercial Account Corporation.
  • Cat Credits may not be issued to or redeemed by any U.S. Federal or State Government entities or public institutions.
  • Cat Credits, whether earned from Cat Vantage Rewards or granted through another customer incentive, are not to be applied towards dealer house accounts and any such use discovered will be charged back to the participating dealer or authorized vendor on account of it not constituting a Qualifying Purchase.
  • Cat Credits are eligible to be redeemed on Parts.cat.com. Availability to use Cat Credits on Parts.cat.com, however, varies by dealer. Not all dealers will participate. Registered (or Customer Specific Pricing / CSP) Parts.cat.com users who redeem their Cat Credit on Parts.cat.com can redeem up to $10,000 in a single instance.  Guest (or Instant Access) Parts.cat.com users who redeem their Cat Credit on Parts.cat.com can redeem up to $2,500 in a single instance. 
  • Cat Credits e-Certificate holders might be required to verify their identity by Cat Financial, a participating dealer or other authorized vendor by providing photo identification, supplying information about the commercial owner of the e-Certificate or by providing any other information deemed necessary to minimize the risk of fraud.
  • A participating dealer or any other authorized vendor may require any person who represents that he or she is an authorized representative of the Cat Credits owner to provide identification and/or proof of authorization.
  • Cat Credits can only be used to purchase in the country of issuance.
  • While Caterpillar makes reasonable efforts to minimize opportunities for fraud relating to Cat Credits e-Certificates, it cannot be liable for thefts of e-Certificates caused by security breaches or other forms of theft.  Loss of a Cat Credits due to theft or fraud are unrecoverable.
  • Customers are only eligible to redeem Cat Credits issued to them as shown on the face of the e-Certificate, since they are not transferrable.
