Program status
Verified open 2026-08-25 by a dated offer on the page: "We're currently offering a 30% bonus incentive for all custom project incentives projects submitted between June 3, 2025 and February 11, 2027." February 11, 2027 is the bonus deadline. The underlying program is ongoing, with no published closing date. There is a second date behind it: projects must be completed by March 14, 2028 to keep the bonus, which is the real planning constraint on a long capital project.
